MAYS LANDING, N. j., Oct. IA.
Two significant upsets in the
States case against the two Lillien-
dahl murder defendants today gave
new hope to the defense counsel and
to the prisoners in the county Jail.
Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl, middle
aged widow of DR.. William Lillien-
dhal, and Willis Beach, neighboring
poultryman, we're cheered visibiy
when the mysterious white cloth"
evidence turned out to be of no rela-
ton to the crime.
The presence of the rag on a weed
in Great Swamp Lane, which was
interpreted as being d signal for the
murderers, admittedly was placed
there by DR.. Charles Cunningham,
mayor of Hammonton, N. j. He tied
1t merely as an impulse" he said
today.
Guns Fail to Give CIew
In addition, State ballistic ex-
sperts announced that none of the
weapons seized in Beach's home
could have been the death in
strument. A careful comparison
Of bullets fired from the pistols.
shotguns and rifles in the Beach
residence failed to show re-
semblance to those found in the
body of the aged specialist in
narcotics.
Another interesting piece of de-
tense evidence was contributed to-
day by John j. Gregory Jr.,
private detective, who aided the
defendants in the Hall-Mills case.
He said he had found a man who
had been near the murder scene
shortly before the doctor was
killed and had been pursued by
two Negroes in a blue sedan.
This man is John w. Reading of
Trenton, N. j.
Mrs. Lilliendahl said her hus-
bands murderers rode in "a blue
sedan.
Probe Pawning of Ring
DR.. Lilliendahl was shot Sept. IS,
while riding with his wife. She con-
tends two Negroes killed him during
a hold-up. Both she and Beach were
indicted for murder and held for
trial Nov. %.
Beach was accused Of being
friendly with Mrs. Lilliendahl, writ
ing her letters under a fictitious
name and keeping secret trysts.
Mrs. Lilliendahl's $1,000 diamond
ring, found pawned in Philadelphia,
has been of considerable interest TO
county authorities since it developed
that Beach might have been the one
who obtained the loan.

Accident Good Fortune

The breaking of the oil line may
have been fortunate. Impossible
flying conditions existed over France
yesterday. The weather was so bad
that even regular passenger service
was interrupted.
Haldeman, flying through rain
and fog over strange country, might
have experienced the difficulties Of
Byrd and his companions-and the
American Girl might not have been
as fortunate as the America.
This dramatic ending of the fight
of Miss Elder and Haldeman meant
that they had failed to reach their
goal, Paris, but perhaps they have
accomplished feats even more re-
markable.
They were in the air thirty-six
hours, 26 minutes-only about fif-
teen hours less than the longest
sustained flight ever made. And
that record was set not in storm
and over sea, but under ideal con-
ditions, circling at slow speed over
a flying field.
They, are estimated to have flown
$500 miles or more-a distance
which would have enabled them to
land on the French mainland, had
they not been blown from their
course.
They blazed new trail, for. their
route led straight out to, sea from
New York for 1900 miles and then
picked up Great Circle" course,
sweeping in an arc toward France.
y They were the first to try any
route but the Lindbergh trail, which
leads in an arc through Nova Sco-
tia, Newfoundland and to Ireland.
The point where the plane alight-
ed is computed to be about 500 miles
northeast of the Azore Islands, ex-
actly on the circle course Miss Elder,
