CHEMISTS ON STAND
IN ORPET CASE
Prosecution 10 Adding to Grain Of Cir
cumstantial Evidence to Con-
vict College Student.

COURT ROOM, WAUKEGAN, H..
June 16.-The prosecution of Will
Orpet added link after link today to
the chain of circumstantial evidence
it believes will convict Orpet Of
Marian Lambert's murder. Step by
step it sought to build UP, through
the testimony Of poison experts, a
wall which the defense must shatter,
perhaps only by the testimony OF
Crpet himself.
When court opened today, with
r.cre poison experts ready to take
the stand, Assistant States Attorney
Runyard contended that these facts
had been established beyond doubt :
Cyanide of potassium was admin.
istered in a liquid form. No container
was found near the body. 1t would
have been only natural. If Marian had
killed herself, that a bottle would
have been found near the Three Oaks
where she was found Head. We have
shown by analysis ofxMarian's gloves
and handkerchief that she did not
carry the poison in either. Now, we
will let the jury draw it's own deduc-
lions as to what happened to the
poison contaiher."
Dr. Ralph j. Webster, whose testi-
mony late yesterday was considered
the strongest evidence for the prose
cution, was to be- cross examined

IF women would use an Anti-Septic
Oil Shampoo instead of the soaps and
shampoos now 80 commonly used, they
would improve rather than injure the
delicate hair plants.
The hair plant is an oil plant and to
wash it with soaps or shampoos con-
tanning free alkah works great injury.

again today by the defense in an
effort to shatter his statement that
science proved Marian's death due
to cyanide in a liquid form and not
powder, as the defense has commended.
Chemist McNally of the Cook
county coroner's Office was ready to
corroborate Webster's testimony. and
was expected to follow him to the
stand.
The Eighteen Bunch" club of
girls who were Marian's chums, were
practically all in the court room to-
day, waiting anxiously for their
chance to testify for the state, that
Josephine Davis who said Marian was
Respondent few days before her
death, was mistaken. The bunch"
was released from the Deerfield town
ship high school today. most of them
by graduation. The exercises were
held last night. Marian Lambert
she had lived Josephine Davis chair
on the platform with the class was
vacant, too. She was testifying to
save Orpet when the final examina-
tions were held, and did not graduate.
Il was the only girl that ever really
knew Marian" Josephine said today.
What told on the stand was true.
Marian did threaten suicide. Now the
other girls are sore at me because
they think / betrayed chum."
The defense, it was learned today,
has discovered another important wit
ness in Verne Jackson, another chum
of Marian's who was not member
OF the eighteen bunch" Verne said
today Marian seemed respondent and
she also was ready to tell of mys-

PROPOSES THAT IOWA

Or. G. n. Sumner Of State Board Of
Health Would Have New Or
leans Plan Followed.

That Iowa towns would do we'll to
consider and adopt hay fever or
dinance like that which has been in
force in the city of New Orleans for
the past few months, is the recon-
mendation of DIR. G. H. Sumner, sec
rotary of the Iowa state board of
health. New Orleans was the first
city to adopt such an ordinance. DR..
Scheppegrell, president of the Amer
lean MISREPRESENTATION associa-
ton, believes that the enforcing of
this ordinance will soon be followed
by marked benefit to hay-fever suf-
ferers, Of which 2 per cent of the
population in most sections of the
United States are victims

ordinance is that weeds or grass
