CHICAGO. May 16.-The secrecy sur
rounding the defence Of william II.
orpe,, on trial In waukegan for the
murder Of Miss Marian Lambert, his
school gil. f~iancee. was pierced to-day
for the first time.
II developed that the defence will be
bert to take her life by drinking cyanide
Of potassium In Helms Woods Lake
Forest because she knew she had lost
the love OF Orpet.
That a lecture on the uses Of cyanide
OF potassium given by Prof. A. l..

Geological moment when the girl was

rrof. TRAGIC will testify. 1t was said,
that the day before Miss Lambert met
orpet in the woods he gay a lecture
before his chemistry class. Of which the
girl was a member, on the fatal effects
OF cyanide on the human system.
His testimony will show how Miss
Lambert. seated In the front row Of
seats, listened intently to the lecture.
seemingly under a spell as the Professor
revealed the characteristics Of the poison.
Another important part Of his testi-
mony will be that poisons were kept in q
case which was open much Of the time
and that any student could obtain
possession OF cyanide OF potassium with
out difficulty.
Orpet was calm to-day In Judge Dom
nelly's court and heard friends whom he
and his parents had known for years tell
him that they had fixed opinions regard
ing his guilt or innocence Of the MUIR
der charge hanging over him. All were
excused for cause.
The prosecution won a victory when
Judge Donnelly after a long conference
with attorneys for both sides ruled that
FOR the present letters teeming with love
which we're sent by Marian Lambert TO
Orpet shall remain in the possession, of
the prosecution.
This means that the offences lawyers
may not see the love letters until they
are read into the record. The Judge
ruled, however. that the low letters of

sweetheart. which were sent TO him at
his university quarters in Madison. wis.
