Orpet, twice was in a predicament during cross examination today. but in general he sustained the ordeal mucb better than yesterday. and made no admissions at variance with those 1 brought out by hls own attornevs m | direct examination.

Joslyn, of the prosecution had to do with the white powder marks which Orpet testified yesterday he observed on the right hand of Marion Lambert "ith whose murder by potassium cyanide poisoning he is charged. lie testified previously that when he turned back in Helms woods and saw Marion in her dying throes in the snow he knelt down by her and called to her Her right hand, he said. was pare ana partly closed. He opened if little and noticed the powder in the lines of her hand
 MT Joslyn for some time today had been leading him suavely, inch by inch ana minute by minute, on his trin from Mauison, Wis, where he was attend Ing the University of Wisconsin to Lake forest, into and about the woods "l'H Marlon and to the death scene HIS tone was sympathetic and his phraseology apparently helnful
 Then he began firing questions with great rapldity as to the position of the houy' the state of the clothing. and the iike- Tn the midst of these his manner changed and he asked suddenly:
 Ana was her hand bare or gloyed ?" me pallld witness worn with hours ol minute questioning, hesitated r T don't just remember-I think if ; was pare-no l remember it was , gloved"
 ? His head dropped and MT. Joslvn ? plunged away from the subject and was midway in another, when the wit ness recovered himself No' l am sure her hand was hare ] | am sure now-yes it was bare" he p gasped. '' The prosecutor turned on him with 9 a snarl:
 Aes you are sure it was bare be- cause now you remember that vou said yesterday that you saw the white powder in the lines of her hands What dld 1t look like to you anyway. powder or crystals?"
 crystal said the young man slow iy' "of my own judgment I would say crystals"
 . It IS the contention of attorneys for 'he ueiehdant, that Marion committed suleiue by taking the poison in q DOW uer' so line that snow melting in her Iiahd or moisture gathering on if in a , iiot room While the body was cold would nave acted on it the same as if , u had been in solution of two parts water.
 Yesterday, Orpet testified that a sort of mental fog dazed him when bo raaI , iAeu 'iidt Alarion was dead. His pre- Vious fear that his truancy from school would be discovered was lost in sbear 7 terror at the tragedy. He rushed from the woods.

Shortly after leaving the "oods, While entering Sheridan road ' ne threw it away, where one of his at : torneys agent found it eight days later. This agent reached the spot n through directions from Orpet and a diagram drawn by him after his arrest - MT Joslyn dealt sarcastically with the brain storm which sent the voune man flying from the woods and drove rom his memory so many other de- talls but left so accurate an imprint Of the position of this bottle. Then he sprang another trap, but the wit ness did not fall into it.
 And what did you do with the other bottle, MT. Orpet?' he asked in matter of fact tones. The latter hesitated only a second.
 What bottle?" he countered
 "The other bottle, Mr Orpet."
 There was no other bottle" insisted
 the witness. The lawyer turned or
