In May's Landing New Jersey officials acknowledged before the Liliendahl murder trial opened that no unforeseen events had occurred. Reporters pressed about rumors that Justice Campbell held an affidavit from Harry Sanderson of Sydney alleging perjury in court.
Ohio court hears of an affidavit alleging defense agents pressured state witness Sanderson to alter testimony about the Beach murder. Sanderson had earlier identified Willis Beach at the scene, but recanted during court testimony after claims of a “wild party” with an aluminum frying pan and two defense investigators present.
The witness details a 1926 Halloween meeting with Beach, rides with her husband, and a brutal assault along the Atsion road. She recalls being dragged from a car, a gunshot, and her husband’s death as investigators recount letters, forged alibis, and repeated visits by Beach amid contentious testimony.
Alfred eight, son of Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl, returned to drawing during his mother’s testimony in a murder case at AYS LANDING. While she described her life with the doctor, the boy lost interest, slid to the floor, and produced half a dozen quick portraits of those nearby. He favors rapid sketches over fine detail, leading in mass production.
Testimony shows Mrs. Lilliendahl facing questions about gossip about Beach and her husband, mail deliveries under an assumed name, and a past quarrel with Beach. The session includes details of the South Vineland post office runs, a chick en palace joke, and a dramatic note as a leak drips during proceedings.
