FORCERS' BRAINS WALK
OUT OF POLICE STATION
While Pretty Wife Is Being Ques-
toned He Just Leaves.

One simple and effective way OF
escaping from New York police sta
tion, says William Mittler, is TO open
the door and walk out. He did that
little thing last evening after he had
been arrested as the brains of a gang
Of forgcrs who are credited with
swindlng express companies out of a
small fortune by means Of fraudulent
money orders.
But Mittler must give a part OF the
credit to his nineteen-year-old wife,
who was so busy confessing TO detec-
tives at the Fourth Branch Detective
Bureau that they could hardly be ex-
pected to pay much attention 20 mere

pretty Mrs. Mittler still was at the

Of a city-wide search.
The Mittlers. William Anderson and

West Eighty-third Street late in the
afternoon on complaint OF Clarence Is.
Lambert. special agent for the Ameri-

both Of whom are said 10 be ex-con-

State Gets Long Sought
Evidence in the Marian
Lambert Case.
DEFENCE LAWYERS
MAKE BOLD MOVE
Seek to Show That Cyanide
Taken at Prisoners Home
Had Lost Its Strength.
iBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune J

Chicago. Feb. lS.-Asserting that the
bottle believed TO have contained the
poison which caused the death OF Miss
Marian Lambert, the Lake Forest High
School girl, has been found, authori-
ties of Lake County began to-day to
line up witnesses who will testify at
the inquest next Monday.
No information regarding the finding
Of the bottle was given out except that
the quest for this last piece Of evil
dence against William II. Orpet, who is
accused of the murder. had been sue
cessful. II was said the bottle fur
nished evidence that Orpet had carried
the poison int6 the woods on the day
he met Miss Lambert for a farewell
tryst
The bottle was found by Sheriff El-
more Griffin after the rain Of yester-
day had melted away snowbank at
the Sacred Heart crossing. After a con-
ference In Waukegan with States At
torney Dady, he would say no more
than that he had stumbled on the bot
tie at the Sacred Heart crossing, few
hundred yards from the spot where
Marian Lambert died. =
Mr. Dedy was equally non-committal.
He had said that all he needed was the
poison vial to prove that Orpet was a
murderer. He has the history of the
vial that Orpet purchased from a Madi-
son druggist. If the druggist iden-
titles the bottle found to-day the prose
cutor is confident Orpet's guilt will be
proved.
Orpet's attorneys made bold move
to-day. 1t was learned in Waukegan
that samples of the cyanide of potas-
sium found in an ash heap in the cell
lar of the Orpet home had been taken
to a Chicago chemist to be compared
with the poison crystals found on the
body of the girl.
The Sheriff and States Attorney knew
nothing about this move. II is thought
to be q move by the defence to bear out
the elder Orpet's statement that the
cyanide OF the ash heap had "gone
dead"-lost its strength. II il is found
that this is true it will be difficult for
the state TO show that Orpet ever had
poison in his possession.
Summonses have been given to
Sheriff Griffin by States Attorney Dady
for many school friends of Miss Lam
bert, who are expected TO testify at
the inquest regarding her relations
with Orpet and Of the events which
preceded the finding of her body. Fifty
letters which are said 20 have passed
between Orpet and Miss Lambert
through Miss Josephine Davis. a
mutual friend, will be important parts
Of the evidence.
Witnesses for whom summonses have
been issued are Miss Davis. Frances
Harder. Eleanor Double. Verne Jack
son. Anna Pohlson, Mary Marshall. DR..
B. VI. Parmenter. OF Like Forest;
Charles Hassinger, of Madison David
James,, Charles Petelia. Walter Nc

Griffin, Erwin Glow. Frederick Vein

Forest. and Drs. Ralph Webster and

Of the contents Of Miss Lambert's
stomach.
Orpet will not testify at the in
quest. according 70 his lawyers, Leslie

Tumultuous scenes occurred in the OK

signed to take the place of the famous
