had meant to stick to the story she
told the grand jury, but she got
mad" at a question States Atty
Dady asked her, and so went to Or
pets attorney and switched her evil
dence.
With apparent satisfaction, she de-
tailed how easily she had made Ma
riOn cry by asking her what she
would do in case the story was told
by Josephine to MaTiOn's mother
and the illicit relations between Or
pet and Marion revealed.
"She would cry and throw her
arms around my neck and beg me
not to tell on her and remind me
that I promised l wouldn't tell" Jo-
sephine said.
The state expects to Tepudiate
that part of JOsephine's testimony in
which she declared that Marion was
unhappy and distracted the night of
her birthday party, three days be-
fore her death.
AS the girl left the stand, Frank
Lambert, father of Marion said: Il
would rather see a daughter Of mine
dead than to see her act as Josephine
Davis has acted in this"
Wilson G. Franklin, engineer who
was expected by the state to tell of
the footprints in the snow in Helms
woods that revealed the fact that Or
pet and Marion had entered together
and met and stood there and Orpet
alone had left, also surprised the
state by testifying he was unable to
observe the footprints of Orpet be-
cause they were mixed up with so
many others.
The contention of Will Orpet's de-
tense that poison was found beneath
the finger nails of Marion Lambert,
indicating she had taken a powdered
form of cyanide herself, was refuted

ATTY. DADDY TO TRY TO REFUTE
STORY TOLD BY DAVIS GIRL
States Atty Ralph J. Dady, pros
eCutor of Will Orpet, will take the
stand in Orpet's trial to refute the
testimony of Josephine Davis, whom
Dady considered the states principal
witness, but whose story of Marion
Lambert's suicide threat proved a
boomerang to the prosecution.
Dady said he would be sworn as a
witness before the end of the trial
and repeat to the jury the story Jo-
sephine told him after MariOn's body
was found under the three oaks in
Helms woods.
Ralph Webster, Chicago chemist
was to be principal witness today and
is said to be ready to testify that cy-
anide of potassium found in her
stomach could have been taken only
in liquid form.
Another blow suffered by the pros
ecutiOn is the fact that a number of
Madison, Wis, witnesses, counted on
by the state to show that Orpet ar
ranged a careful alibi the day of
Marion's death, will not come to
Waukegan to testify.
Josephine Davis, alleged best
friend" Of the dead Marion Lambert,
finished her testimony yesterday
that the defense believes will acquit
Will OTpet, charged with the school
girls murder, and stepped from the
witness stand firm in the belief that
she had undone the mischief she
caused when her story as told to the
grand jury was instrumental in in
dieting OTpet.
