says Won westarp Sought 10 Rave
Spurious interview Published.
Berlin, June 10.-The American am
bassadcr. James W. Gerard, has re-
pudiated an interview recently attri-
buted to him on the subject of Presi-
dent Wilson's peace efforts, the over
seas News Agency says.
The ambassador also is quoted as
asserting that Count Friedrich Won
Westarp conservative leader in the
Reichstag. desired Mr.. Gerard to have
a spurious interview published some
time ago, but that the ambassador de-
clined.
According to a statement by the
news agency, a manuscript contain
ing copy of the spurious interview
was submitted to Mr.. Gerard with the
idea that it was to haves been pub
lished IN the National zeitung. The
statement follows:

tually closing Greek ports.
The rehabilitation of twelve classes
of the army means the sending back
to civil life of 10000 men. or exactly
half the army, ordinarily composed Of
twenty four classes.
The mobilization has been unpopu-
lar from the first with the Greek peo-
pie. owing to its harmful economic
effects, and this is considered further
to have Influenced the taking of the
step. But one of the greatest consid-
erations was that the government
hopes thus to crafty a large number
OF supporters OF former Premier Ven
izelos in the army who desire to re-
cover their civil rights.

FATHER vs.. FATHER.
Orpet and Lambert Parents Appear as
Witnesses in Tria.

Waukegan, H., June 1O.-Two faith
ers-one who would give his all to
erase the capital charge against his
youngest son; the other striving to
have the death of his daughter avenged
testified yesterday at Waukegans in
Lake county's most sensational murder
case.
Edward o. Orpet, superintendent OF
the estate Of Cyrus Mccormick and
father of the accused, could identify
but two Of the forty-seven letters his
son Will wrote to his high school
sweetheart, Marian Lambert. He also
foiled the prosecution by failing to
produce two letters Will Orpet wrote
home from Madison, Wis. after
Marian's death. ~,
He had been served with sub
poenae duces tecum to bring them in
to court. He asserted they had been
turned over to the lawyers defending
his boy. Attorney James H. Wilkerson
said he would turn over the letters II
the court so ordered, but he seemed
secure in the constitutional provision
that a defendant can not be compelled
to divulge evidence against himself.
Lambert Dramatic Witness.
Frank Lambert, father OF the girl
who died of cyanide OF potassium
poisoning in Helms woods on Feb. 3,
told a dramatic story Of his tiresome
search for her in the SNOW filled woods
off the north shore and of finally find
ing her body at the roots Of the three
oaks He was regarded by the de-
Tense as merely an exhibit placed on
the stand for the effect his testimony
would have on the jury. That eX-
planned the frequent objections made
to questions asked to bring out his
actions during the twenty-four hours
the girl was missing.
Mr.. Lambert also asserted that the
| cyanide of potassium in his home-he
! is gardener on the estate OF Jonas
Kuppenheimer-was kept in locked
! cupboard to which he alone carried
! key.
On the other hand. Witness -Orpe1
! said that A. quantity of cyanide was
kept in the greenhouse on the NC
| Cormick estate. where anybody whe
could gu in the greenhouse might
| find it. The prosecutor further en-.
deavored to show that Will Orpe
might have slept on the second fiool
of the garage on the Mccormick estate
| the night before he kept the fata
tryst with Marian. The state does no
know where he spent that night.
