NEGROES MAY
GAIN new TRIAL

MAYS LANDING, N. j., Dec. 8 Up
The shadow of two negro killers was
cast again today over the murder Of
Dr. A. William Lilliendall, for whose
death his widow and Willis Beach were
convicted of voluntary manslaughter.
Edison Hedges, counsel for Beach,
said he would move for a new trial

two negroes whose whereabouts he
would not reveal. Mrs. Lilliendahl has
insisted since her husbands death last
September IS, that he was slain and
robbed by negroes in wooded lane
near Hammonton.
Hedges declined to reveal the nature
of the confession, he said he had OBJ
tanned.

SECOND VICTIM
OF CONFESSED
SLAYER Is DEAD

HANFORD, Calf, Dec. H9-Perry
Allen Coen, alias James Allendale, con-
fesSed slayer of Mr. and Mrs. G. Mace
Artist, was visibly affected today when
informed that Mace Artist had died.
Coen apparently had been more inter-
ested in the fate of his second victim
than in Mrs. Artists death, and had
made constant inquiry as to his condi-
ton.
After learnings of Mace Artists
death, Coen talked freely with Sheriff
Francis Kimes and although he dis
closed his crime, stuck to his original
story. He is insistent upon his tale of
the plot to which he declares Isabel
Artist, 16 year old daughter Of the
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-10

slain couple, was a party, but claims
he does not remember what weapon
ne used in making the assault.
District Attorney Ferguson expects
to arraign Coen early next week but
will place no charge against Isabel, as
officials place no credence in the slay-
er's story connecting her with the
crime.
No inquest was held over the body
of Mace Artist, as that in the case OF
his wife was held sufficient by Cor
oner o. D. Strong. A double funeral
for the two victims was held here to-
day and interment was in the Han
ford cemetery.

HIGHWAY BOARD
WILL BUILD TWO
ROADS In PINAL

PHOENIX, Dec. R-The best
method to settle d controversy, ac-
cording to the ARIZONA state highway
commission, is to concede to- each
side in the matter. Working on that
theory, the commission today decided
to build two roads in the FloFenee-
Casa Grande valley in Pinal county
instead of one as originally planned.
The controversy arose over the con.
struction of a road from thes Casa
Grande ruins through Coolidge %a1ld
Randolph to Picacho, joirifg d road
running from Chandler through
Sacaton across the Gila river to the
ruins. III ''' 1A' -s@s
While the announcement that the '
road from the ruins to Picacho Would
run through Coolidge and Randolph,
ranchers in the district south of the
two towns Immediately protested,
asking that the survey be routed
through their section.
At the request of those interested
in the two roads,, the highway COM
mission, accompanied by the state
engineer, made a trip of inspection
/ to the district. u /, tsaf lafiSic'
Upon returning to Phoenix. and
being advised by the state engineer
today that funds were available for
both roads, the commission ordered
their construction.
