Re Solved Soon Two Persons
 Chosen In October Grand Jury
 Panel Concerned With Principals
 Tn Case.
 Hammonton, N J., Sept % OP) Investigation into the murder of Iir. William hllicndahl took q sur prising turn today when several newspapermcn, assigned 10 the case. were suhpoenaod 10 appear this afternoon before the Atlantic county grand jury a' Mays Landing.
 None of the authorities would dis cuss the reason for summoning re- porters, but it was assumed they would be asked about statements ob- iained in interviews with Edison Hedges, counsel for Willis Beach, Nineland poultryman.
 Beach, a n"ighhor and friend of Mrs. Margaret Lillicndahl, the re tired physician's widow, has dsap- pear"d since his release m bail of 5000 as a material witness. \ war rant charging him with aiding the murder has been issued.
 Hedges has refused to produce Beach except on a court order, claim ing that he advised his client 10 go into hiding because officials had sub lected him to 'indignitics.
 Expects solution soon
 Frank Harold, chief county de- tectiye reiterated today his conteu- ton that the mystery soon would be solved. IF, Lillicndahl was shot while motoring with his wife near here fortnight ago. Her story that two negroes committed the crime has been questioned.
 Two persons chosen In thn Octo- her grand jury panel are concerned directly or indirectly with principals in the case. They are William H. Parkhurst and Mrs. Rose ODonnell.
 Parkhurt's brother, Peyton. is q brother-in-l Of Beach. Mrs. O'Don- nell's husband. Edward. is the son Of the llammonton postmaster who supplied the $25,0o0 bond under which Mrs. Lillicndahl has been re- leased as q material witness Ed ward O'Donncll loaned Beach $500 on a promissory note the day after the murder.
 Parkhurst and Mrs. O'Donnell probably will be excluded from the grand jury sessions at which the case is considered.
