 SOON TO KNOW FATE.

WAUKBGAN, Ill, July 2-The trial of William Orphets. charg- ed with the murder of his sweet heart, Marion Lambert. is near ing it's end. It has been going On for the past month and has been a legal battle from start to finish, the best of counsel having been employed by the relatives of the defendant
 Testffying for the defense, Dorothy Mason, friend of the Lambert girl, said that the Lam bert girl had told her that life was not worth living when she heard of Orphets' reputed en- gagement to another girl The defense also introduced powerful evidence in regard to the three cyanide spots found on the dead girls coat in an attempt to prove that she killed herself. In re buttal the state called Messrs Allen and Blanchard, members of the coroner's jury which re turned a verdict of death by mUr- der, and they stated that there were no spots on the coat when the inquest was held.
