ORPET JURY FINALLY
 NEARS COMPLETION

Waukegan, Ills, May 23.-Comple- ton today of the jury to try w H. Orpet for murder of his former sweet heart was predicted by court officials. In the first week of the trial only four jurymen were secured. Progress was more rapid yesterday, however, two men being tentatively accepted by both sides and two more passed by the defense, and eight were in the jury box when court opened today
 When the state has completed it's case, the defense plans to ask the court to direct a verdict of not guilty. according to James H. WiIkerson, of counsel for Orpet.
 The motion will be based on 8 de- cision of the Illinois supreme court reversing the conviction in a murder case where the evidence was wholly circumstantia1 as it is in this case. D said MT. Wilkerson.

with his brother-a free man once again. Although his sentence had been abruptly terminated on the Sat urday previously, he remained at the prison, which had been his home for ffty-three years, a few days longer, un- til the following Wednesday, so that, as he said, he could teach the next man how to do his work, and could have time to pick up and get ready" He was then seventy-four years old.
 The crime for which Warren spent almost hfty-three years in prison was committed during. the third week in June, 1859. He had married a girl about seventeen years old, less than a year before this time, much against his will and to avoid arrest. He as- certained later that he had been de- ceived and that he was in love with another woman. It is thought that these two factors led to the crime. which was the murder of his young wife. June, 1859, was a drouthy month, and a stream not far from Warren's home in Wilmington had be- come dry, although pools of water stoood here and there in the bed. One Sunday afternoon, as Warren and his wife were strolling along the banks of the river he suggested that they wade in one of the pools of water.
 He went after his wife and threw her, face downward, into one of the pools, holding her there until she drowned. He hid her body in a, swamp not far away and told persons in the

After B Years In
 Prison, Warren Dies
 In Freedom, Aged ".

Hartford, May 23.-After four years of liberty following more than half century in the State Prison at Wethers- field, to which he was sentenced for the murder of his wife, John Warren died last Wednesday afternoon at the home in Mansfield of Joel Warren, his brother, it was learned last night, says the Hartford Courant. Death was due to hardening of the arteries. He was seventy-sevent years old and had lived in Mansfield since a short time after he was pardoned, June IS, 1912.
 Warren was on December A, 1859, convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to life Imprisonment. This was but five days after his twenty-f1rst birthday. He outlived seven wardens and served under nine, including Ward A. Garner, the present warden. Near the end of his term, he frequently sent petitions to the board of pardons, ask ing to be paro1ed on account of his de- clining years, but it was not until three years and eleven months ago that the old mans desire was granted. Stoop- shou1dered and gray-haired, it was nevertheless happy man who took leave of the grim prison walls Wednes- day, June 19, 1872. expecting to spend at least a dozen years in the country

FRENCH RETAKE
 BIG PORTION OF
 FORT DOUAMONT

Paris. May 23-Recapture by the
 French after three months, of the
 greater part of Fort Douaumont,
 which was taken by the Germans at
 the outset of their Verdun drive, is re- ceived with great e1ation by the press
 and the public, the more so on ac- count of the effect it is expected Ito have no neutral opinion. General Nive1le, the French commander at Verdun, took advantage of the fact
 concentrating all their attention on
 Dead Man Hill, on the other side of
 the river, and assembled a large
 am ount of artillery for the attack on
 the Douaumont sector.
 On Sunday General Nivelle began a heavy artillery attack on Fort Douau-
 mont and adjacent positions. The
 hour fixed for the infantry assa ut was 4:30--p. m. yesterday. s en
 inc moment came French infantry
 which had been carefully selected and trained began the advance, sing ing the 'Marseillaise.''
 The German resistance at some points was stubborn. On the Froide Terre Road and at Douaumont, the French had to force back the Ger man infantry inch by inch by the point of the, bayonet. The leading French contingents reached Fort Douaumont at 5 o'clock. They kill 1 ed the Germans who resisted and sent to the rear a large number of pris- oners.
 AS soon as they recovered from
 their surprise, the Germans launched
 a number of fierce counter attacks but all failed and by 10 p. m. prepara- tions had been completed to deal with
 the serious efforts the Germans are
 expected to make to recapture the lost positions.
 The French success is considered
 by military critics to have shaken the
 whole German line at Verdun. Dou-
 aumont Fort was the most important point captured by the Germans and
 the French gain there is regarded as having nullified the most significant achievement of the Germans in the great battle of three months. To the west of the Mouse, Hill No. 295, thew estern summit of Dead Man Hill, has become a no-man's land, like Hartmannswieler-ko Once before the French abandoned it temporarily to avoid useless loss, re- occupying it when the opportunity come.
