Trial date set in Eiler killing, 1936
New Jersey Mirror 19 Feb 1936 March 19th has been fixed as the date upon which the Court of Errors and Appeals will hear argument on the application of Jacob J. Ciemiengo, 16, and George Hildebrand, 26, for a new trial for the murder of Herman Eiler, Florence township poultry farmer. The two defendants were convicted of first degree murder and were sentenced to be electrocuted. The appeal to the higher court automatically acted as a stay of the death penalty. Jay B. Tomlinson is counsel for Ciemiengo, having been appointed to take the place of George M. Hillman, now deceased. Stanley K. Heilbron represented Hildebrand. Prosecutor Howard Eastwood will oppose the motions for setting aside the verdict of the Burlington county jury
