By. the Associated Prees. ..~ COURTROOM, MAYS LANDING, N. J., Dedember 1.—Samuel Bark, Bal- timore lawyer and -showman, testi- fled today that Willis Beach confessed to him the killing of Dr. A. Willlam Lilliendahl. He testified to - talking with Beach in’ Baltimore last Septem- ber, “! told him I saw by the papers he was wanted and he said- not' very bad,” he -testified. *He and a man named Thompson asked me for $600, but I said I-was‘no bank. They said they ‘wanted the money to take some Jewelry out of soak in Philadelphia. “Thompson told Beach it looked like he was in an awful fix and Beach said he could beat it. “Then I asked him just how he got in this fix and Beach said he'd got in a racket with the old man and shot “Who did he mean by.the old man?” “0ld Man” in Trouble. “Dr. Lilliendahl. We were talking about the murder. Beach told me the old man had been having some trouble about money or dope.or something." Bark said that Beach told him the killing was staged at the isolated spot off the Atsion road, “because we had to fix it for a getaway.” “‘Beach told me he met the old man, shot him in the head and ran back to his car. When he got there, he said, he shoutea ‘Yoo-hoo!" to Mrs. Lil- . | llendahl to let her know he was safely away, and then she spread the alarm.” Under cross-examination Bark cla: ed himself as a “trick roper” in trav- eling shows. Robert McCarter, counsel for Mrs. Lilllendahl, asked Bark if he could srite, and then had him inscribe his signature, which was marked for iden- tification. Bark said he had known Beach for about a year, having been introduced in Philadelphia by Clyde Thompson, the mutual friend who was present at the alleged confession.. Beach sat calmly at ‘ease in his chair while Bark related the encounter in Balti- more. - Mrs. Liliiendahl, her back turned to the spectators, remained rigid: Brother Takes Notes. J. Sherwood Thompson, brother of the widow. made hasty notes, while next to him little Alfred Lilliendahl worked industriously on his latest drawing of a house in the woods. Back in' the spectators’ seats, Mrs. Amanda Beach, wife of Mrs. Lillien- dahl's co-defendant, craned her neck anxiously for a few moments, staring at the witness. Then she resumed her old posture of bent head and closed eyes and seemed to pay no heed to the accusation of the State’s star wit. ness against her husband. Bark testified that his ‘home was in Texas, but he was in Baltimore for a month at the time he met Beach there. After his conversation with Beach and Thompson he went to the law office of Charles Phillips, one of Mrs. Lilllendahl's lawyers. He said he told Phillips he wanted $600 for Beach, e told me he was Mrs, Lillien- dahl’s lawyer, not Beas but he'd see what could be do: Bark denled that he had shown Phillips two written accounts. of the murder -réputedly signed by Clyde Thompson and one Bellar. “Didn't you tell him,” McCarter asked, “that on September 156 Thomp- :|son' and Bellar were driving along the Atsion road and turned into the lane where the killing took place for the purpose of getting some nar. cotics? “Didn’t you tell Phillips,” McCarter continued, “that while Bellar and Thompson were in the lane the Lilllendahls drove in and they hid, and then saw Beach shoot the doctor. “Didn’t you then say that Bellar and Thompson fled to avoid implica- tion and ran their car into the Dela- ware River? “Didn’t you tell Phillips you want- ed to prevent Bellar and Thompson from testifying and so you needed $800 to save Beach?” “No,” said Bark with a grin, “I didn’t say any of those things.' “Didn’t Phillips tell you that if you had “the information you said you had, you ought to go to the prose.’ nd It | cutor?” McCarter asked. 1| “eNo.” + dd S New Yol:l Ave. ghn Main 7223.

INDEPENDENTS PREPARE FOR CAUCUS Senate Gnuiq Seen Ready to Buck Party Regulars Over Fill- ing' of Offices. The group of Independent_ Repub- lican Senators declded. definitely today to go before. the party caucus tomor- row with a program of its own. ‘While the independents 'were be- lleved ready to buck the. slate,of the | party. regulars for some Sengte offices, the group decided to keep-its pluns secret, pending disposition. ‘of this prnfiosnl to the leaders. i The jobs include thoge of President pro Tempore of the Senate,’ seeretary and sergeant at arms, The incum- bents, Senator Moses of New Hamp- shire, Edward P. Thayer of Indiana and David Barry of Pennsylvania had been slated by the party leaders to succeed themselves. If unsuccessful in their ecfforts in the party conference, the independents have indicated they might carry their fight to the floor of the Senate, where they swing the balance of power by virtue of the almost even line-up be- tween Republicans and Demacrats.

LEAGUE OFFICIAL HERE. Arthur Sweetser, Former A. P. Man, Returns From Geneva. Arthur Sweetser, assistant director of the information section. of the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzer- land, is on a visit to this city, where he was formerly stationed as a mem- ber of the local staff of the Associated Press. Mr. Sweetser was closely as- sociated with Col. E. M. House and others interested in the initial organ- ization of the League and has been at- tached to the secretariat since 1919. More recently he also held the unof- ficial position in Geneva of adviser to Secretary General Drummond on American. co-operation. He is said to be in the United States at present in connection with the recent gift of $2,- 000,000 by Mr. Rockerfeller for the con- struction of a library building for the League of Nations. He plans to re- turn to Geneva about the middle of December. G STAR, WASHINGTO DECLINESREQLEST TOSENDOBSERVER U. S. Turns Down Invitation of Geneva Security ,Conference. The Washington Government will decline the invitation, extended in Geneva yesterday, to send an observer to the security conference. This decision was made public at the State Department today after a communication from Minister Hugh Wilson transmitting the invitation had been received. The refusal is in line with the Gov- ernment’s decision not to participate in the conference. It is assumed that proceedings of the security conference will be avail- able as a matter of information to the members of the preparatory dis- armament commission, upon which the United States will continue to be tully represented. This interchange of information be- tween the two elements of the ma- chinery being created to deal with disarmament, make it unnecessary, in the judgment of some informed Wash- ington officlals, that any American observer be assigned to the security conference. The department said that American participation in the work of the Pre- paratory Commisison on Disarmament now in session in Geneva, would con- tinue and that the Washington Gov- ernment would attend any interna- tional conference for limitation of arm- aments which might be the outgrowth of the work of the Preparatory Com- mission. It was emphasized that the Wash- ington administration feels it would be useless to participdte in the secur- ity discussions, because no commit- | ments on the part of the United States to enforce security agreements were possible.

Statue to Be Properly Draped At Continental Hall Unveiling| “No undraped figure of Aphrodite about to step into her bath will shock ‘Washingtonians” when the statue commemorating the four pioneer daughters of the American Revolu- tion is erected outside Continental Memorial Hall, Mrs. Alfred J. Brous- seau, president general of the D. A. R., gave assurances today. Deelaring there is ‘not a_thing to it,” Mrs. Brosseau dispelled rumors to the contrary by stating that the statue representing the form of a woman with: arms “outstretched will be -“properly draped,” when it is un- veiled here at ceremonies next month. Just now the statue is in Mrs. Harry -Payne Whitney's New York studio, and when it was inuspected by a D. A. R. committee recently it was hardly clad in a manner of the women it - represented. “The whole story about the Statue is too absurd for any- thing,” Mrs. Brosseau said. ‘“The Daughters regard it as a good joke. But it is really too bad to make fool- ish ‘distortions of fact out of an in- completed statue, which so beautifully typifies the peace andlharmony that has grown out of the wake of the D. A. R.” Mrs,, Brosseau 'explained that when the committee of which Miss Aline Solomans is chairman viewed the statue, Miss Jeanette Richards of Washington, who has a keen sense of humor, remarked that the drapery of the statue was hardly sufficient to typify the women it was to represent. “Perhaps Mrs. Whitney took her seriously,” added Mrs. - Brosseau, “Mrs. Whitney is a ‘D. A. R.’ herself and is tremendously Interested in its work and aims. At Miss Richard's re- mark Mrs, Whitney said that ‘You came a week too soon, in Another week the lady will be all dressed up.’ " Different versions of the affair ap- peared - throughout the country, Mrs. Brosseau explained and made it ap- pear that the drapery was to be added to conform with the request of the committee.
