One of the theories Of the prosecu.
ton that DR.. A. William Li1liendahl

Margaret Lilliendahl, and Willis

the defense in the Hall.Mills case
and is connected with the office Of
Robert N. McCarter. special counsel
for Mrs. Lilliendahl.
Gregory also stated that the de-
Tense would have many witnesses on
hand who would testify that the two
negroes who Mrs. Lilliendahl claimed
slew her husband were seen near
the spot where the murder was com.
mitted, and going away from that
section.
Two Are Traced
He also said that the two negroes
were traced to a point about IL
miles from Atlantic City and that
the trail was lost there. Gregory
said that McCarter would come here
the middle of the week and again
thoroughly go over the ground.
He plans to consult with Charles
NJ. Phillips, Mrs. LilliendahPs per-
sonal counsel, and may also have
a conference with Edison Hedges,
who is representing Beach.
State troopers and County de-
tectives still are serving subpoenas
for the States witnesses. Among
