Telling Lie In Shooting LOS ANGELES Teenage Beverly Aadland's admission she lied about a boyfriend killing himself in her bedroom brought angry demands today for an inquest by relatives the handsome aspiring actor.

However, police say they are satisfied the Saturday shooting of William Stanciu was accidental after the 17-year-old ex-mistress of the late Errol Flynn revised her story of his death and said she was holding his revolver when it accidentally discharged during a nude struggle with him. She had told police immediately after the shooting that Stanciu shot himself in the head after forcing her into a game of Russian roulette. Stanciu died in a hospital Sun 21st birthday. Beverly, a singer in a Hollywood nightclub, broke down under a lie detector test. Howrever, she stuck to her story that Stanciu forced his way into her apartment, forced her to disrobe and raped her at gunpoint.

An attorney representing Stan- ciu's mother and brother said he doubted Beverly's version of the slaying. George W. Drucker said there was no need for Stanciu to break into the apartment as he had been dating the leggy aspiring singer for six weeks and had his own key to her apartment. The mother, Florence Stanciu, and the brother, actor Kenneth Stanciu, said an inquest should be held. Beverly remained in custody at Juvenile Hall.

Police said they will file a petition suggesting that Beverly lacks parental supervision and is in danger of becoming a juvenile delinquent. Her mother, ex-showgirl Florence Aadland, who had approved of her daughter's relationship with Flynn, doubted Beverly's changed version of Stancm death. "I still believe first she said.
