WILLHAVENEW
TRIAL OF SUIT
OF COMPANY A
Supreme Court Holds Action 10
Quiet Title on Armory Prop
erty Must BE Retired

Reversing the Burleigh county
district court, new trial of the
Company "A" VS.. G. B. Little. ct al.
case has been ordered by the su-
preme court.
The litigation affecting sale of the
property has been continuously in
the courts since 1921.
The court held that deed to the
armory, granted by l.. w. Spcrry
and H. T. Murphy to c. B. Little and
Edmond A. Hughes, was invalid, but
did not rule on the point Of whether
the plaintiffs had slept on their
rights to such an extent that they
were prevented from asserting their
claim,
Should Have Heard All Testimony
Reason for the reversal was that
Judge c. NJ. Cooley, taking up the
case where two former judges left
off, issued an order 'disposing of the
case. Such an order could rightfully
be made only by a Judge who had
heard all the testimony, the court
held.
Judge Cooley had taken up the
case after Judge Nuessle. who had
previously been hearing it, had re-
signed to take his place on the SUI
preme court bench. Judge Nuessle
had made q finding on the case but
had suggested that additional evil
dence on one point be given. The
point was tried by Judge Cooley,
who found that the price paid for
the property was all it was worth
and held the title should be quieted
in Mr.. Little and Mr.. Hughes.
The court decision reads: "Where,
on the resignation of trial Judge,
q cause is left undetermined, a sue
ceeding trial Judge cannot decide or
make findings in the case without
a trial de novo on all the issues.
Plaintiff appeals. Reversed, and
new trial ordered"
The opinion of the court was by
District Judge M. ]. Englert, Valley
City. Judges Nuessle and Burke
did not participate, District Judges
Englert and Thomas Pugh of Dick
inson sitting in their stead.

BEING HUNTED
Stabbing of High School Girl
Thursday Night Brings To.
tai Victims to "a

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. 30.-LT
The phantom stabber," for two
and a half years the terror of girls
and young women walking through
the streets Of Bridgeport in late aft
ernoon or at night, has brought the
total number of his victims to "a,
and continued today to elude the po-
lice.
His latest attack came early last
night when Ruth Stillings, 14-year-
old high school tennis star, on her
way home with friend from the
Beardsley park courts, was stabbed
in the chest. Fifteen minutes after
the. stabbing police began a search
of the district, but the assailant had
escaped, as he had after the % other
stabbings.
Miss Stillings said her assailant
was dark complexioned young
man, about five feet five inches,
wearing dark grey trousers, q grey
cap and blue sweater with dark
stripes. He appeared to be about
~ years old.
The stabber's method in the latest
attack was similar to the others.
He brushed against the girl as he
ran past her. When he disappeared
the girl noted she had been
wounded.
The phantom slashed in churches
and public buildings as we'll as on
street corners, and in the day Is well
as at night. Most Of his victims
have been between the ages Of l2
and 16.

SUITS DEMAND

State Board of Administration
and Financial Officers
Made Defendants
1911 LAW BASIS OF SUITS
Plaintiffs Want Warden to
Launch State in Farm Ma
chinery Business

Demand that the state hoard Of
administration and state financial
officers make an accounting Of
fund accumulated by the state
prison here and that 100000 of
the money be used at once in launch
ing q factory to make .arLl ma
chinery was made in three suits
filed in district court here today.
Plaintiffs in each of the three
actions are mostly members of the
Nonpartisan League and som. of
them served at the last session of
the legislature. Defendants, in ad-
dition to the members of the board
Of administration, are John Lee,
penitentiary warden; G.. A. Fisher,
state treasurer, and John Steen,
state auditor.
Based On 1911 Law
The suits are based on a law
passed in 1911 which required the
warden Of the penitentiary to
launch the state in the farm ma
chinery business as soon as the
prison revolving fund reached $780,
900. The fund now totals about
$5O0,OOO and has been more than
100000 for years but nothing was
done to carry out the mandate Of
the old law.
Last winter the legislature ap-
propriated $115,OOO from. the fund
to purchase land an. erect various
buildings at the penitentiary. The
work was begun this summer and
most of it is nearing completion.
One action demands tha' $780,
3S5.74 already paid out be returned
to the state treas e. The second
demands the board render ali ac-
count of the profits o. the prison
twine plant from 1911 to June 80;
1927; that the book. of the twinc
plant be produced in court and that
one-fourth of the prvfits be set
aside into a revolving fund to be
used in the construction Of plant
to make farm machinery and that
the defendants be enjoined from
using the money for any other pur-
pose. A specific injunction is asked
to prevent expenditure of the money
as directed by the last legislature.
Demand to Show Cause
The third action demands that the
defendants show cause why their
actions in paying ou. certain money
for improvements ordered Nv the
last legislature should not be re-
viewed in court.

Hammonton, N. j., Sept. 30.-CF
A youth who says he witnessed
the Staying of DR.. A. William Lii
and corroborated the story
of the killing as related by Mrs.

Arrested yesterday in Hoboken
and taken to Atlantic City, where he
was committed to Jail without bail,
Albert Langbem, an 18-year-old mill
hand of Egg Harbor, was reported
by the police to have said that he
had seen two negroes hold up the
Lilliendahl automobile on the lonely
Atshion road, shoot the doctor and
rob his wife.
Stories Coincide
His story is the same as that told
by Mrs. Lilliendahl when she was
found by two truck men, her cloth.

she crawled from the underbrush
near the scene of the shooting. To
this story she adhered during four
days of intermittent questioning at
the state police barracks here. She
is out on $4,000 bail as q material
witness, and her home is under
guard Of state troopers.
The authorities said Langbem had
told them he was walking through
the woods with q girl when he saw
two negroes rush from the under.
brush as the Lilliendahl car ap-
peared, leap on the running board
and force Mrs. Lilliendahl, who was
driving, to pull into the thicket. A
few minutes later he heard three
shots. A desire to shield his girl
friend from undue publicity was
given by Langbem - his reason for
withholding the information two
weeks. DR.. Lilliendahl was shot

shortly after indictment Of Edison

the case. Beach vanished Tuesday
when state troopers went to his
