J., September 24.—Re-enactment by his widow of the scenes surrounding the slaying of Dr. A. William Lilliendahl is the next step planned by detectives working on the mystery. Unsatisfied after questioning her six times in nine days, Atlantic County authorities said Mrs. Lilliendahl would be taken to the lonely spot on the Atsion road where her elderly husband was shot to death and requested to re- act all the details of the killing. They added that the 4l-year-old widow's story that two negroes had slain Dr. Lilliendahl and robbed her while they were motoring 5 miles from hera on September 15 was far from satisfac- tory. Quizzed for Hour. Mrs. Lilliendahl, who is under $25,000 bail as a material witness, was questioned for more than an hour last night by William H. Hudson, chief of police of Vineland, and Louis Lodovico, county detective. They said she had changed some of the details of her story. One of the points which the au- thorities said she had emphasized last week was that the doctor had $200 in | his pockets when the n robbed him. > latest gation, they sal not band shooti; 4 ives said toda t Dr. Lillien pointed out that 1utomo- convinced th. worked alone the doctor bile in a comy met his death and ass. being held up b would have stru; Killing Called convinced Deliberate. that and that hidden near Work the the the on pistol used scene of this theor reinforced t for several away the pir in the vicin A volunteer been cle and oak undergrowth aide in the sear prayed that ppeared in the genia Bonnafon / ed wife of Phi who kimo or James J.

Mr. Cahill, who was 56 years old, had been in ill health for some time and had been under treatment at the Veterans’ Bureau Hospital at Mount Alto. On_leave from that hospital, Thursday he wrote to its officials ask- ing an entension of his leave to take treatment at Walter Reed. The leave v granted and he reported at Walter Reed Thursday morning. He left during the afternoon. He spent the night there, Mrs, Ca- hill told Montgomery County police, and was in bed when his wife left home yesterday morning.

A chair was almost directly under the body and a box was nearby, ap- parently having been kicked from the chair. The body was suspended from a rafter.

LOUIS, September 24.—An- nouncement by a prominent coal op- erator that negotiations on the basis of a 30 per cent wage reduction would be made direct with miners them- selves, instead of through the United Mine Workers, brought a sharp retort from union officials of Herrin, IIL, last night, in which the proposal was termed “absurd.” The operators, speaking through Joseph D. Lumaghi of the Lumaghi Coal Co., said they could no longer negotiate with union officials because the union would not agree to a wage cut. The statement three union officials trict as follows: “The statement of Lumaghi reflects his_ personal opinion. Offering the miners a reduction of 30 per cent will umount to nothing. The miiners have been out for nearly six months for a just cause and will not surrenier. The whole thing is absurd. The miners’ fight is won. (Signed) “Fox Hughes, district board member; A. T.
