quence of any aerial voyage; or shall

Waukegan, Ill.,, June 3.-When the
trial Of Will H. Orpet, former Uni.
versity of Wisconsin student, accused
Of the murder Of Marion Lambert, Is
resumed in Judge Donnelly's court
here Wednesday, two new lines OF ex-
pert testimony are expected to be de-
veloped by the defense.
Dr.. William o. Krohn of Chicago,
noted as an alienist, is to take the
stand, il was announced today. 1t is
said that he will testify that in his
opinion Marion Lambert's disposition
and frame Of mind were such that the
suicide theory of the defense is logi-
cal and consistent with the physical
facts already adduced. The other line
of reasoning he is expected to support
is that Orpet's mental constitution Is
such that he iskncapable Of murder.
DR.. Krohn Is said to have made an ex-
tended study Of Orpet.
Further evidence is to be presented,
it was said today, that there were no
spots on Marion's coat when 1t was
produced at the coroner's inquest. 1t
Is Sdlu that OliiCl lnCiiluSIo VI thS
coroner's jury will give testimony cor
roborating that already presented by
two members Of the jury.
The state, however, is said to be
working on plan to rebuff this testi.
mony, and that this plan contemplates
the calling Of at least two members Of
this coroner's jury to deny statements
already made regarding the coat. Just
who these jurors are has not been
indicated.
The jurors who are hearing the
Orpet case are enjoying holiday

a public dinner, heard someone speak
Of Hetty Robinson as "the greatest
American heiress," and straightway
announced his. determination to marry
her. Before the wedding day an
agreement was signed to the effect
that the wife's fortune should never
be drawn on to meet the husbands

He died in 1902 after having lost
most OF his money in Wall street.
Both Hetty Green and he did BUSH
ness there for many years, but on
separate accounts. Her most preten-
tious home was at Bellows Falls, VT,
where she spent many summers, but
even this place was notorious there
for never being in repair. In winter
she hid herself in some of the least
expensive neighborhoods around New
York, guarding her identity by put

daughter, Sylvia, was her only COM
panion. The latter she kept from So
ciety, but In 1909 consented to her
marriage, at the age of 80, to Mat

Yorker Of 81 years. The lonely
mother then removed herself for a
time to a suite of rooms in one of
the most fashionable Fifth avenue
hotels, but this luxury was soon given
up.
Son Becomes Prominent.
II was Hetty Green's ambition to
make her son, Edward Rowland
Green, the richest man in the country.
She put him through many severe
tests to try out his business qualifi-
cations. She finally sent him to
Texas. where he eventually worked
himself to the front as a railroad man
and financier. Since 1898 he has
been president Of the Texas Midland
railroad and factor in many other
interests. In late years he largely
assumed the management of his
mothers property.
Hetty Green's investments were
largely in mortgages, and whenever

after she had made the most minute
personal examination of the proper
ties. She never disclosed in detail
the secrets of her success. but she ad-
mitted it was mainly in buying when
things were cheap, and never selling
until they we're high. If asked for
advice as to what would be good
to invest. in, her epigramatic answer
was usually, 1.-THE other world"
While never intensely religious. she
was frequent attendant at Quaker
meetings, and only few years ago
she, like her daughter, was baptised
in the Episcopal church.
She emphatically denied that her
disposition was misery. During the
panic OF l907-O8 she made loans
which tided over many wealthy New
Workers. Two years before the panic
it was said she had gathered in a
large portion of her money and was
prepared when the storm broke to
lend a helping hand, at a good rate

try might be surprised at the DISPOSE

DILLON AUDITOR
PUT UNDER BOND
Experts Are at WOrk-AccOuntant
Going Over Books of Officers.
Grand Jury Prosecuting In
vestigatiOn.

Dillon, May 22.-With C. G.. Bruce,
audi tor of Dillon county, under bond
on d warrant charging misappropria-
tion of the county's funds, and with
the grand jury continuing an investi-
CATION through firm of expert ac-
countants, Dillon court house circles,
and indeed considerable portion of
the people of the community, are stir
red to the centre. Pending the COM
pletion of the audit, the grand jury
refuses to give out anything. Bruce
has sent his resignation as auditor to
the governor.
On Wednesday the grand jury of
Dillon county met for the purpose of
considering a preliminary report of
Malcolm & Brady, expert account
ants and auditors, who have for some
time been auditing the books of all
the county officials. AS a result of
the partial report and other evidence
obtained by the grand jury a warrant
was sworn out and issued for C. G..
Bruce, county auditor, charging him
with unlawfully, wilfully and felon-
iously taking and stealing and appro-
priating to his own use on June 6,
1913, sum approximating $125 and
on other days before and since the
sum of 81 900.
The warrant was issued early in the
afternoon and was given to the sheriff
to serve. For some time Bruce could
not be located. Late in the evening
he appeared and gave himself up to
the sheriff, in whose custody he re-
mained until the following day, when
he was taken by the sheriff to friends
and relatives in the upper end of the
county, and gave bond in the sum of
$4,000 for appearance at the Septem-
ber term of court.
Bruce sent his resignation to the
governor on Thursday morning.
The grand jury will not give out
anything until it has gone further into
matters and has given the account
mats time OF finish their work, which
is only about half completed. A de-
tailed audit is being made and totals
are not taken as has been done by
some auditors heretofore.
This has created quite a sensation
throughout the county and as the in
vestigation goes on the public eager-S
ly awaits a report from the grand
jury.
