(AP) Both defendants in the LiUIiendahl murder - trial -, have doubles,' it developed today, just before the last witness was heard and court adjourned to prepare for the end of the trial tomorrow. Early in the trial A. J. Rider, aged cranberry "king," was pro duced as the double of Willis Beach, the defendant accused of the actual shooting of Dr. A. Wil liam Lilliendahl. Today a woman was put on the stand to testify that Alice Longley, a nurse, was tne image or Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl, widow of the doctor who is charged with plotting his murder with Beach. Rider was produced in an at tempt to prove that a state wit ness who had testified to seeing a man resembling Beach near the scene of .the crime had In fact seen the cranberry man. v The nurse's name and appear ance w.ere brought into the pro cee'dings to indicate that another state witness might very well have seen her at a place he said he saw Mrs. Lilliendahl on the day of the killing. The state witness testified that he saw Mrs. Lilliendahl five miles from her home at a time that she had said she was at home prepar ing breakfast for her little son. After long argument, the tes timony of the woman put on to tell of the nurse's resemblance to Mrs. Lilliendahl, was stricken out. The defense explained that the nurse herself could not be called to let the jurors judge for them' selves of the resemblance because she was on a case of contagious disease. The high point of today's ses sion came immediately after the defense had rested, and the pros ecutor called back to the stand Harry Sanderson, Ohio kitchen ware salesman. Sanderson appeared last Wed nesday as one of the state's two star witnesses against Beach, but failed to give the testimony ex pected of him on the basis of his statement before the grand jury, "Mr. Sanderson has asked that ha may take the stand again," Prosecutor Hinkle told the court today, "to correct an error he made in his testimony Wednes day." " Sanderson stepped to the stand with a face gray with emotion. "I would like to say," he began in a husky voice, "that when I took the stand Wednesday I fully intended to identify Beach as a man I saw near the scene of the crime, running from the scene of the crime, on the day of the kill ing." "And do you so identify him now?" Hinkle asked. "i ao, Sanderson replied. He left the stand as soon as defense counsel indicated they had no in tentlon of cross examining.

Read the Classified Ads WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. (AP). -While with a single exception Fess of Ohio- congressional lead ers construed President Coolldge's amplification of his Rapid City an nouncement as defintely eliminat Ing him from the 1928 republican presidential situation, some mem bers of the republican national committee had a different view. William Butler, chairman of the national committee, and close per sonal friend of the president, re peatedly refused to make any com ment. but Mrs. Alvin T. Ilert, of Kentucky, and Charles D. Hilles, of New York, vlcechalrman, of the national committee, were out-! spoken. T don't think it adds much to what he said last August," Hilles declared.

"it is . a great sur prise. ::- I can't say anything about it now, or tell what it means."
