The first two stood II to ! for &C
quittal, Edward }. Book OF Highland
Park holding out for a prison sen

yielded.
After a moment Will stepped for
ward and shook hands with the judge
and as many of the jurymen as ne
could reach. Then he turned to try
to get out OF the courtroom. His
mother came along, and Mrs. Taylor,
and the three walked quickly to a
waiting automobile, which whirle |
them away toward the Orpet home in
Lake Forest.
For the first time during the trial
tears sprang to Orpet's eyes as Judge
Donnelly read the verdict. He biz
his lip, though, and controlled him
self heroically. He eve looked so
much like a small boy and it seemed
as if he had awakened gently IRON,
some horrible dream. Mrs. Orpet, the
boys mother, sobbed quietly. Mrs,
Edwin Taylor, his Madison landlady,
who sat at his left through the last
week OF the trial, bit her lip and
managed to keep her conposure.
Neither Edward Orpet, Wills ia
ther, nor Frank Lambert, the father
OF the dead girl. was in the court
room when the verdict vas returned.
Both had been there in the afternoon,
but had disappeared and could no be
found in time to hear the verdict.
Orpet, according to Wiikerson, is
going into the country for a long rest.
The boy himself would not talk.

James Ii. Wilkerson, chief counsel
for the defense, was unable to keep
back the tears and they trickled from
his eyes while he, with his associates,
Ralph f. Potter and Leslie P. Hanna,
were receiving congratulations.

had in his cell we're already packed.
He had recovered his self-posses-

Second, It will guarantee to tho

Third, 1t will give a wider dis

Fourth, it will save tho consum-
