MURDERERS
Mrs. LiIIiendahI and Chicken
Man Sent to Jail on
Death Charge.
GRAND JURY ALSO ACTS
Woman SobS in Cell; Poultry
Fancier Profane in His
Opinion.

BIZ Lnltcd Prc98 -
MAYS LANDING, N. j., Oct. T.
Charged with the murder of the
elderly DR.. William Lilliendahl, the
widow-Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl-
and Willis Beach were held In the
county Jail today.
Warrants charging them with the
crime were served on the two last
night after the grand jury had been
in session all day.
Indictments accusing Mrs. Lillien-
dahl and Beach Of the murder were
returned by the Atlantic County
grand jury today.
Both contended their innocence
and were composed when the war;
rants were served last night. Ac-
cording to county Jail authorities,
however, Mrs. Lilliendahl wept after
she had been taken to her cell.
The warrant was served on Mrs.
Lilliendahl as she waited in the
anteroom Off the grand jury room.
Her composure changed little when
the warrant was read and she said
she was innocent.
Beach Voices Surprise
Beach, the poultry fancier who
had surrendered earlier in the day,
awaited in his solitary confinement
cell in the Jail basement for the
grand jury's findings. When the
warden served the murder warrant
on him he said: What the hell
do you think of that"
Later, alone in her cell on the
second floor of the county jail, Mrs.
Lilliendahls imperturbability broke
down.
"She wept like child" said War;
den John Thomas. He took a nail
file from her, fearing she might at
tempt suicide.
Charles M. Phillips, Mrs. Lillien-
dahPs attorney, said he would ap-
ply today for bail for his client.
There was some question as to
whether the three men counted
upon to identify Beach had been
able to do so, when testifying under
oath before the grand jury.
Doubt ON Identification
When they saw Beach before the
grand jury convened they had made
what officers said was certain iden-
tification. But after the grand Jury
session there appeared to be doubt
about it, and one report was that
they had identified Beach's car, but
could not say definitely that he was
the driver.
Owing to the rules of secrecy sur
rounding grand jury proceedings,
definite information could not be
gained, either from officers or wit
nesSes.
Beach was told he had not been
identified, and he seemed to accept
that word as final, and with much
satisfaction.
Evidence that the grand jury sift-
ed Mrs Lilliendahl's story that two
Negroes murdered her husband in
a robbery attempt was indicated,
when County Detective Black fired
three shots into a pile of coal in
the corner outside the grand jury
room.
Two to Stand Together
This was done. it was said, to per-
NIT the grand jury to judge if three
shots might have sounded like one.
Mrs. Lilliendahl said in her story
that the murderers fired only one
shot.
Edison Hedges, Beach's attorney,
said the two would not ask for
separate trials.
Beach and Mrs. Lilliendahl will
stand together" he said.

If Poet Jim Riley were alive to-
day, there's just one accurate
guess as to where he would spend
his birthday
At his home in Lockerbie ST.,
for while-of course, because
there would be little children
there to see him.
But most Of the day he'd be at
Riley Hospital, a States most
magnificent memorial to be-
loved citizen.
Poet Jim there would find ma
terial for his pen. Verse probably
would flow therefrom for quite a
spell. And Riley wouldn't miss
bit of pathos. and perhaps of
gentle fun out of the War Mothers

the dangers confronting the Ameri-

United States to rally to the cause of

appeal is as follows:
''The people of the United States

them. Twelve million American citi-
zens cannot be denied their inalie n
able rights to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness, protection from
mob violence, equal rights in parks,

the right to dwell in places of their

the recent admission of the highest
legal officers that the law cannot be
enforced in Alabama against these
cowardly ruffians and the revelations
in Indiana and elsewhere. The peo-
pie of the United States must rally

MERRY CHRISTMAS

We wish all our readers a
very merry Christmas. And
merry indeed it will be if each
does his or her part, as we be-
lieve they will, to spread the
spirit of the season among all
those with whom they may
come in contact.
There is much criticism of
the spirit of commercialism
which dominates or seems to
dominate this season, but we
are among those who believe
that even our intense CONNER
cialism has not deadened or
destroyed the spirit of the sea-
son. Indeed, the spirit of the
season is largely responsible
for the increased commercial
ism. Each one is anxious to
make someone else happy by
the bestowal of some gift,
which calls for purchase or
manufacture. The spirit of
Christmastide is that of max
ing others happy, and those
who do this find supreme hap
piness themselves, and happi-
ness manifests itself in joy and
mirth. And so we wish you a
merry, merry Christmas, and
echo again the prayer of Tiny
Tim, immortalized by Charles
Dickens, "And may God bless
