NAYS LANDING, N. j.,
Nov. %. Moving with spec
tacular and almost unprece-
dented swiftness, the Lillien-
dahl murder trial sped into
action here today, and, within
little more than so minutes, a
jury, having for its foreman a
woman, and composed Of five
women and seven men, had
been selected and sworn.
Speed in Evidence
With a remarkable absence of
legal conflict, counsel for both
the prosecution and Mrs. Mar
garet Liliendahl and her co.
defendant, Willis Beach, ran rapidly
through the assembled talesmen
and one hour and fifteen minutes
after court had convened, the
jury sat in readiness for the OPEN
ing statements.
No Death Penalty
Challenging Of the talesmen re.
vealed only one outstanding develop
ment-the possibility that the State
had abandoned its previously an.
nounced intention Of asking the
death penalty.
When two Quakers, Henry W.
Leeds, millionaire Atlantic City hotel
man, and Nathan Jones, asserted
that, for religious reasons, they could
not pass the death penalty, the State
accepted them, nevertheless, and
only their refusal to take the jury
oath led to their dismissal.

Cordially Reigns
There was q notable absence Of
the usual murder trial tenseness in
the courtroom. An air Of cordiality,
even among the prosecution and de-
Tense attorneys, deprived the affair
Of its grimness.

occasion usually alive with heckling
and legal skirmishes.

MUNICIPAL "A I r P ORT
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. o.
A man-made bird was winging
westward today, in another at.
tempt to conquer the Pacific.
Takes Air at 7:24
Delayed by adverse weather con-
ditions for the past week, Capt.
Frederick A. Giles, British airman,
again took to the air at 7:24
this morning. He hopes to be in
Hawaii before noon tomorrow.
Giles first attempt last Saturday
was of only As minutes duration.
He got his heavily laden Hess Blue.
bird biplane into the air without
difficulty, but upon encountering
soupy fog over the ocean returned
to the flying field.
Once off the runway, CAPTAIN
Giles seemed to experience great
difficulty in attaining altitude. His
maximum altitude before he disap.
peared from view six minutes after
the takeoff, was not more than 200
feet.
Nearly Forced to Land
Near the completion Of his circle,
the plane lost fully one.third of this
altitude and it seemed for a mo-
snent as though the Hess Bluebird
was going to be compelled to land,
After he completed his circle he
headed to the North toward San
Francisco proper. He cleared a
small hill that interviewed between
the airport ard the city by not more
than 40 feet and then disappeared
in a northwesterly direction in the
smoky haze that hung over the in
dustrial section of San Francisco.
The airman slept at the field all
night, arose at 4:30 a. m. and or
deredi the mechanics to tune up the
motor Of his plane.
A small crowd of mechanics an
hour before dawn swarmed over his
little Hess Bluebird plane, putting
on the last-minute touches. The
plane was poised at the head of the
runway in readiness for the take-off
hours before the flight began.
Carries 800 Gallons
1t had 800 gallons of gasoline in
It's tanks, a. near-capacity load.
Meteorological experts were at the
field. taking readings with special
instruments to gauge the wind. A
red flare was sent up, attached to
a balloon with a known ascension
speed. The experts checked the
velocity OF the wind by this means.
Weather conditions for the hop.
off seemed almost ideal. . A gentle
breeze in a northwesterly direction
was noted.
A low mist bank was hanging
over the horizon toward the west.
The runway was smooth and hard,
despite recent rains.
AS Giles settled himself in the
cockpit, he looked around casually,
smiled down at the group of friends
beneath him on the ground and
said;
"well, you'll hear from me in a
day or So"
A wave of his hand over the
side of the cockpit-and he was off.
