MADE; AGED DEFENDANT
CALLED MURDERESS.

case of Mrs. Ida Meyer, aged 80.
charged with completely in the murder
! Of her daughter-in-law, today present
ed their arguments and the case is ex-
pected to go to the jury late today or
tomorrow.
It would have been impossible for
Mrs. Ethel, the daughter-in-law, to
have killed herself with the revolver
found at her side, County Prosecutor
Phil Wilkinson argued. He insisted
the evidence showed she did not COM
NIT suicide and that there were only
two other persons in the house at the
time-Mrs. Ida Meyer and Fred Meyer,
the husband. Testimony given by
Fred Meyer and his mother was full Of
discrepancies, he charged.
w. S. Cooper, counsel for Mrs.
Meyer, assailed the circumstantial evi-
dence offered by the prosecution.
The trial began week ago today.
The court room has been filed every
day and large crowds have been turn
ed away.
Mrs. Ethel Meyer was found dead in
her home here on July Is last. Her
husband was convicted of her murder
last December and sentenced to fifteen
years in prison.

PARENTS Of DEAD
GIRL ARE MERC|FU I'll
ASK FOR RELEASE OF YOUNG
MAN ACCUSED OF MURDER.
ING SWEETHEART.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE mother of
Marion Lambert, the Lake Forest high
school girl found dead in the woods
near the suburb last Thursday, has an
pealed to States Attorney Ralph Dady
Of Lake county to release William H.
Orpet, the University Of Wisconsin
junior, held at Waukegan on a charge
Of murder. Frank Lambert, father Of
the girl, assented to the pleas of his
wife. The Lamberts told the states
attorney they had doubt Of the guilt
of young Orpet.
+. States Attorney Dady was willing 70
admit today that unless he can prove
that Orpet gave his former sweetheart
poison he can not convict the student
of murder.
In sixty letters which passed be.
tween the girl and Orpet-thirty-fiv
written by him and twenty-five by her
the romance of the two has been
traced from its inception to the time
of the tragedy. The missives show,
the officers say, that alarm was felt
about the girls condition as early as
last September, but the crisis passed.
and their fears were allayed until
recently.
Word received from DeKalb, where
Miss Celestia Youker, f1ancee of Orpet.
is i'll of heart trouble, was that tho
young woman is somewhat better and
was inquiring why she had not hear1
from Orpet. Miss Youker, teacher
in the normal school at DeKalb, has
not been informed of the plight of the
student ..H .- -.
