Threatened resignations of all members of the Board of Appeals on zoning will result in the adoption of a new gasoline station policy by the city administration, it was learned yesterday. In the event that Mayor Behrens continues to grant permits for gasoline stations in violation of the zoning laws, paiticularly In the cases of applications which have been turned down by the Board of Appeals, the five members of that board intend to tender their leslgnatlons, it is understood.

Dr. A.

William Lilliendahl. "She is just as Innocent as she was the day before the murder, in spite of the verdict of the Jury," Mr. Thompson declared, when interviewed at his hotel here by the Telegram correspondent "The verdict was a great shock to us," he said, "as the evidence was overwhelmingly in my sister's favor. I do not see how it was possible for the jury to arrive at a verdict of manslaughter. It seems clear enough that either my Bister and Mr Beach were guilty of conspiring to murder as charged, or they were innocent and the Jury should have found so" Will Fight For Justice Despite the shock and disappointment, Mrs Lilliendahl and her brother regained their spirits, and there was a firm thrust to the Bridgeport man's Jaw and determination in his eye, as he said, "We are going to fight on for justice Our lawyers Intend to ask either for a mistrial, or for a new trial on the ground of new evidence which they have Just unearthed Discussing the verdict again Mr.

That Is not so. They stood 10 to 2 for acquittal, but some of the women on the Jury grew weary of the long grind and gave in to two of the men and reached a compromise verdict In that way. "The country was simply stunned when the decision was announced," he said, "as nobody believed that such a thing could be possible. "The newspapermen, In quoting some veteran reporters who have covered such cases all over the country, said they were the most amazed of anybody.

They were betting 6 to 1 on acquittal, basing their belief on the dence as they had heard it "Everybody that I have talked to feels the same way about It. Even on the way back to Atlantic City, people on the train came up to me to express their sympathy and astonishment. One of the trainmen said to me, 'Mr. Thompson, If I were on that Jury, 1 wouldn't vote to convict a cat on such evidence' "I want to thank my friends In Bridgeport for the many evidences of faith and support that have come to me during this period.
