pected today vs. the League of Ma

Observers expected the seven

It was expected the secret meet

complished more than appeared on

Negotiations were expected today
which will bring to the western from

ten years imprisonment by Jus
tice Campell this morning. 1t is

Lilliendahl and Willis Beach came
into court here today expecting to
hear sentence passed upon them

result of the killing of Dr. william
Lilliendahl, her husband.

tendance today.

for new trial and, If the motion
is not granted, to pass sentence.
Under the terms of the law cover
Ing voluntary manslaughter Of
which they were convicted. they are
subject to a sentence of up to ten
years in prison and $1,000 fine.
The defense expects to present
afiidavits covering new evidence. on
which the motion is based. This
evidence is believed to be state
ments from two Negroes, arrested
in Brooklyn, N. Y.
Whether the Negroes confessed
the murder of DR.. Lilliendahl, adj
mitted personal knowledge Of it, or
related statements they have heard,
was not revealed.
If the motion is denied and a new
trial is refused, then the defense
expects to ask release of Mrs. Lii
liendahl and Beach on bail 1t will
argue that no longer are they held
on an unbailable charge, the jury
having heard them tried for muir
der, but having reduced the charge
to voluntary mansIaughter by its
verdict.
The State is expected to oppose
this motion.
Samuel Hinkle of the proSecu-
ton, said he will oppose any mo-
ton for a new trial or any other
move which would tend to delay the
carrying out of the sentence.

DetachmentS at All
Sub Stations.

Motorcycle police will be sta
toned at the six police sub-stations
III Indianapolis to answer emergency
calls between 4. a. m. and midnight,
until the present crime wave is
curbed, under an order issued FRI
day by Police Chief Claude M. Wor-
ley.
This action followed an increase
in burglaries attributed to cold
weather and the Christmas season,
when burglary is regarded as more
lucrative than at other times.
Motorcycle police will answer
emergency calls as soon as they are
received, arriving at the scene of
the crime before the emergency
squad. which is stationed at central
headquarters. This, Worley ex-
planned, will expedite obtaining de-
scriptions of criminals and decrease
chance of escape.
With police working on twelve
hour shifts and guarding filling
stations and stores, there were no
hold-ups Friday night.
Several minor burglaries we're re-
ported. Tires and batteries worth
SITS were stolen from the garage of
Clarence Roberts, Mars Hill. Rex
