ION TRIAL TWO MONTHS
0RPtT IS ACQUITTED
College Boy Goes Free After Jury
Weighs Evidence For Five
Hours.

WaukeSan. Ill. July twin Orpet
has been found not guilty of the muir
der of his sweetheart, Marion Lam
bert On the fourth ballot the jury
agreed on the verdict. From the first
only one Juror thought that the State
had proven that the cyanide OF potas-
SUM. which caused the schoolgirls
death, had been given to her in the
guise of medicine by the young col
lege student. After three votes, this
juror went over to the majority.
At 7:46 this evening the Jury filed
into court and the foreman handed
Judge Donnelly the verdict. He read
it and passed II on to the court clerk,
who read aloud to the breathless
throng that packed the sitting court
room:
We. the jury, find the defendant,
William Orpet, not guilty"
The most composed person in tlk
room was Orpet. He had endured
days and nights OF grilling since his
arrest He had had to tell his story
over and over again.
Yet, while the jury was celebrating
he said with a confident smile:
Il will eat breakfast with my mother
tomorrow morning"
When the verdict was read he step
ped over and kissed his mother, and
the whole case became merely an cpl
sode in his life. He was ready to go
home to dinner.
There was a faint attempt to cheer
when the verdict was read, but the
bailiffs sternly depressed it.
Judge Donnelly had already given
warning that any demonstration would
be punished with a Jail sentence for
contempt of court.
The jury spent five hours discussing
the case. The trial has lasted exactly
two months Owing to the prejudice
against Orpet among the ,alesmen,
twenty-one days of this time were &C.
cupied In obtaining n jury.
