Widow Victim
OF Cruelest
Uncertainty
Mrs. Lilliendahl Sits Smiling
And Enigmatic AS Accu-
satiOns Fly
CAN SHE BE
HEARTLESSLY GUILTY?
Not Easy To Guess Innocence
or Guilt - Described AS
Feminine Eagle Who Smiles
and Smiles Confidently

When Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl
came into court she led her small
son by her side. A wriggling and
restless boy of 8. pale with a Curl
ously long head and a mop of
blond hair, sat by her side. While
Alfred squirmed and scrubbed pic
lures on the table in front of him
and chewed a bit of string, dark
and strangely vital woman with an
arm thrown around his thin Shout
ders challenged the curiosity of
the world
Seen In Two Roles.
Mrs. Lilliendahl came alive in
two roles. One was the mother. The
other was series of pictures
drawn by the first half day of wit
nesses in the latest murder of
deadly mystery to engage the atten-
ton of the Nation.
The mother came into the pit of
the courtroom at quarter of 10
and faced a room filled to its edge
with witnesses and jurors and the
press.
She is very tall and very dark,
and her slim and erect figure carries
well the head that is swathed in a
fluttering black veil. That veil goes
square and flat across the top of
her small hat. 1t is caught at the
sides and flows in somber straight
folds that are shoulder long. 1t
makes a frame. Out of it juts a
profile that hovers mysteriously be-
tween charm and some strange
force.
Margaret Lilliendahl Is just a
feminine eagle. Her nose is sharp
and defined as the prov of ship;
it has something of the allure of
swift and sailing things. Her eyes
are dark and bright and restless
White and powerful teeth that pro-
trude slightly distort mouth that
it full-lipped and has a trick of
sharp compression. When she
smiles, and she smiles often, tiny
dimple dents her left cheek near
her mouth. She was pale with sort
of natural pallor that gave no touch
of wanness to her olive face. She
was confident. She was smiling
She was enigmatic.
At the end of ar afternoon dur
ing which she heard the prosecu-
ton say the State would bring to
the stand a witness to the fact of
her relations with the little white
haired, pallid man who sat a few
feet from her in the pit, Willis
Beach, she was still enigmatic.
If the testimony of the case
brings out no clear and decisive
explanation of how and why the
physician was shot three times in
the head and neck last September
Is, it will not be easy TO guess the
innocence Or guilt of the woman
accused of completely in the crime
from Mrs. Lilliendahl herself.

Every vacant room in town has

Henry Ford's preliminary an
nouncement of the new Ford car

there comes a sense of pity.
Mrs. Lilliendahl comes of good
family. Her people pride themsel-
yes on their Revolutionary ances-
tors. She was reared in fine
schools, and had social opportuni-
ties.
Yet she was not married until she
was "a; and then she was welded TO
DR.. A. Lilliendahl, 80 years her
senior.
After a time, the couple. with a
son, settled in South Vineland,
nearby.
Few knew the woman.
But among the few was Willis
Beach.
Both have admitted a elandestine
correspondence.

Numerous Fires
Mark Weekend
Four BIazes RepCrted-S4,500
Bungalow Is Destroyed
In Township
FIREMEN HANDICAPPED

Local firemen were kept busy oy-
er the week end when a total or
four alarms were sent in between
Friday and Sunday. A new bunga-
low, occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Reed, in David's Lane, off Noah's
road, burned to the ground Sunday
night in the most spectacular of
the blazes.
The bungalow was situated in
Egg Harbor Township, far from any
water supply, and the firemen from
Company No. l, who answered the
alarm, were helpless in their bat
tie with the flames. When it be-
came evident that nothing could be
done, their efforts were confined to
saving the neighboring houses from
sparks. Damage was estimated at
$4,000.
Two fires broke out Friday One
of them was at 2 o'clock in the NOR
ming. when a Ford roadster caught
fire on West Atlantic City boule-
ward. Thirty-six gallons of chemi-
Gals were used TO extinguish the
blaze. The car was owned by r..
Mcbride. Atlantic City.
Firemen were called to a dwell
ling at Windsor avenue and Shore
road later in the day to put out a
blaze which resulted from oil spill-
ed on a stove. No damage resulted.
A house on Ingersoll avenue was
damaged by a roof blaze which was
caused by defective chimney on
Saturday. Damage was reported at
S10c. The same house was the
scene of serious fire last year.

DAUGHTER SENT
TO JAIL

-Four children should be able to
take care of one mother" is an old
saying of Judge Smathers in Do
Nestle Relations Court cases. Woe
to the man or woman who disre-
CARDS his court order to pay a
weekly sum to his or her mother
who is old and in need.
He sent Gertrude Campbell to the
Mays Landing Jail because of her
failure to comply with an order for
50 a week. Her mother, who is sick
and a constant care, is at the home
of her sister, Eva, who preferred
charges against Gertrude. Her ar
gument that she hadn't paid the
money because she didn't like to be
forced TO support her mother. o.
whom she had always cared of her
own free will, was unavailing.

cities amid struggling mobs Of hurry
ing people. We spend our lives
striving for strange prizes. The
men exert every nerve in the pur-
suit of money; the women work as
hard for beauty and happiness, al
though so many Of them neither
know the one when they see it nor
appreciate the other when they OBJ

In order to fight this deadly enemy
Of the human race, we must learn
to live more sanely and temporarily.
We must realize that quiet and rest
is as essential to the human body
as exercise. And we must form the
habit Of visiting a physician an
nually for a physical examination.
We owe ourselves as much care and
attention as we give to our automo-

Take Care of
Yourself
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Now and then we congratulate
ourselves upon the discoveries of
modern medicine. During the past
twenty-five years. one infectious dis
ease after another has been brought
under control. A large number Of
them are now almost extinct. Tuber-
culosis, which used to be regarded
as the greatest ravager of human
life, has been reduced so per cent
so authorities tell us. We are told
that our chances of life against the
onslaughts of disease are much
brighter than they have ever been.
The bacterial enemies are being
routed.
But heart disease, that sly and
fatal foe. is looming larger on our
health horizon. This, so they tell us,
now heads the list of our death
causes. Every paper you pick up
cites some persons humiliation by
this insidious killer. Medical authori-
ties say that per cent of the entire
population of the United States suf-

disease will increase rather than de-
crease. And very few Of them ven
ture an opinion as to what has
caused the growth of this bodily af-
lection.
The preventable diseases Of chill
dren, such as scarlet fever, diph-
liberia and typhoid, sometimes leave
impaired hearts. Poor sanitation
adds to its dangers.
And there can be little doubt that
the high rate of speed at which we
live must have something to do
with the manner in which our hearts
lay down on their jobs. So many of
us go for years on our nerves. We
have forgotten how to be quiet; we
are hysterical and have no COM

hideous noises, which din their
clamor into our consciousness I'M
