CELESTIA YOUKER
ON WITNESS STAND
Had Her Choice Of Testifyine or Hav-
ing Her Love Letters Read
In Court.

COURT ROOM, WAUKEGAN, ILL.,,
June 21.-Celestia Youker, the grey
eyed winsome little school teacher
whom Will Orpet loved, faced the
ordeal of her life today.
She came to court to testify for the
state in Orpet's trial for Marian LAM
bert's murder.
Forced to choose between having her
love letters to Orpet read to the jury
or testifying against him, Celestia de-
cided to testify. States Attorney Dady
will seek to establish definitely
through Miss Youker that Orpet was
engaged to her. This, he contends,
was the motive for Marian's murder.
The court room was damned today
by the Orpet fans" anxious to hear
Miss Youker. Several newspaper mel
her on the stand.
Judge Donnelly today admitted he
was seeking a legal excuse to bar
the letters of Orpet to Marian Lam
bort from evidence. Donnelly said
these letters make 1t plain that
"Orpet set out deliberately and sys-
tematica1ly to ruin Marian This,
said Donnelly, is a fact that with the
jury, might over-balance the direct
issues of the case. 1t was limited n
waukegan today that Orpet will be
the first witness for his own defense.
"Tf Judge Donnelly refuses to take
the case from the jury after the state
has finished its evidence, we will put
Orpet on the stand-if the defense
calls anybody" Ralph Potter OF
Orpet's counsel said.

The Presi dents Salary,

The salary Of the president OF the
United States was the cause Of dis
cussion in the first congress in view
of the fact that the constitution de.
clared that the president should re-
ceive compensation for his services.
Washington had notified his fellow
citizens that he desired no salary.
The limits suggested in congress
ranged from $4,000 to $4,000. The
salary was finally placed at SIS 200
and this remained the compensation
until President Grants second term
