was acquitted last night of Marion
Lambert's murder.
The jury that for six weeks had
heard two versions of the tragedy of

issued statement to the reporters,
and was speeding on toward his
father S home at Lake Forest. TO spend
his first night out of Jail since Feb
ruary IL.
Four Ballots Taken
The jury took four ballots. The
first stood, II to | for acquittal. and
the lone opponent of not guilty was
won over after the jury had returned
from supper, when his fellow tales
men promised to reveal his name.
The courtroom was iammed when
the verdict came in. Orpet, pale
faced and tense. watched the lips of
Foreman James o Shea frame tle SEN
tences that spelled his fate.
As the word "not' was framed,
Orpet leaped to his feet, flung his
arms about his mother neck and
smiled. He didn t cry a single tear.
Someone Shouts Horrors
A great shout rang clear to the
rafters of the court house. Somebody
in the crowd shouted: Horrors! -
''Get that man" ordered Judge
Donnelly. "lf / can find him he can
spend at least five hours in the cell
where Orpet has spent five months,
But the baiiffS couldn t find him.
Orpet rushed up to the judge, the
jury. the lawyers and the spectators.
He grabbed every hand that was
thrust out at him. Then he turned
TO the reporters.
Heres what I want to say he
began, and tnen he dictated:
