INSTRUCTIONS BY JUDGE

COURT ROOM, wAUKEGAN, H.,
July 15.-As the jury trying Will
Orpet for Marian Lambert's murder
retired today to consider its verdict,
it carried into the jury room instruc-
tions from the court which attorneys
for the defense believed precluded
any verdict other than acquittal.
Nothing short OF proof SO clear
and convincing as to exclude any
reasonable hypothesis of innocence
will satisfy a conviction and without
ouch proof the jury must find him
not guilty" Judge Chas. II. Donnelly
declared. "A mere possibility is not
sumcient."
Tbs court. however. added that the
Jury must consider the evidence as a
whole and that II they firmly believ-
ed, despite contradictory evidence,
that Orpet gave Marian cyanide OF
potassium, whether he or she brought
1t to Helms woods, they should find
him guilty of murder.
"But II you believe that the ev1-
dence has shown Marian had the
same opportunity Of taking the poison
herself that Orpet had OF giving it to
her. your verdict should be not
guilty
The state, which has builded its
chain OF circumstantial evidence link
by link about the murder theory, did
not seem chagrinned by the instruc-
tions. States Attorney Dady felt that
the evidence had been so placed be-
fore the jury that motive for mur
der had been established.
Judge Donnelly's instructions came
after a dramatic closing plea for
jol
Joslyn.
Not guilty, guilty with death PEN
atty. guilty with life imprisonment
and guilty with an indeterminate
prison sentence are the four possible
verdicts.
The Orpet tragedy to date has cost
Lake county approximately $4,000.
Three weeks were spent in selecting
the Jury, most of whom are farmers.
The trial proper has been under way
five weeks.
Marian was found dead beneath the
Three Oaks in Helms woods on Feb
ruary 10, 1916. Orpet, a student at
the University Of Wisconsin, was ar
rested a day later He had endeav-
ored to establish an alibi, but finally
admitted he was in the woods with
Marian when she died. He said he
did not see her take poison, but
presumed she had killed herself be-
cause he wished to break off their
romance. The state charged he gave
her cyanide under the guise OF an
abortive to get rid of her because he
wanted to marry Celestia Youker.
Orpet is just past 21. Marian, a
high school girl, was 1S few days
before her death. It was a boy and

The, New Workers said that tho

that Germany can achieve no final
victory and will be satisfied with a.
peace that brings a draw. There is
much dissatisfaction over the food

who have been urging a disregard

Ambassador Gerard has received
certain confidential information re-

not discuss 1t in any way.
The American consuls at Bremen
and Berlin denied today that they had
been asked by Washington why they
had not reported the Deutschland s

they knew nothing OF tho Deutsch-

WASHINGTON, July 15.- The

case" There will be no formal deci.

Polk.
Polk notified Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo informally Of his
opinion. The state department an.
nounced the opinion may not make
precedent and that arrival of another
submarine liner would be treated as
separate and independent case.
The acting secretary today express

stories purporting to relate the find

the reports did tho board great IN
justice, but that he could not reveal
the contents of the report.

PATRoLLING THE CREEK

MATAWAN. N. j., July 15.-Crowds
OF pleasure seekers who would or
dinarily spend their Saturday after
noon at the beaches, were expected to
flock here today to join in New
Jerseys game Of shark hunting, but
there was little hope held out by the
seasoned hunters that the big hsh
which has killed four persons within
n last fortnight will now be caught.
The funerals. Of Leslie Stillwell and
Stanley Fisher, the sharks victims.
will be held here this afternoon. At
the same time 1t is believed the search
for the man eater which attacked
them will virtually come to a halt
There have been rumors Of shark
seen near Keyport, but for twenty
four hours there has not been an
authentic report OF the presence of
the man-killer in Matawan creek. A
railroad engineer reported sighting
he big fish as he passed over a trestle
but this is doubted. Most of the
.searchers fear the shark escaped from
the creek soon after killing Stillwell
and Fisher.
Patrol Of Matawan creek was ye.
sumed early today by several men
carrying long pixies. It was not ex-
pected, however, that further dynamit-
ing would be done and today's task
may be one Of "watchful waiting"
Captain Edward Craven, aged ex-
sea captain, who has been one OF the
leaders in the hunt tor the shark,
gave up completely today.
"The creek. be damned and the
shark be damned, think I'll quit, :"
was the way the captain sized things
.p.
Acting Mayor Henderson has Offer
ed a reward OF 800 for the capture
of the shark, and q prorata reward
should more than one OF the man
eaters be killed. A movement is on
foot to persuade Governor Fielder to
offer reward on behalf OF the state.
In the meantime great interest cent
ars here in the steps to be taken by
the government. 1t Is expected reve-
nue. cutters will soon patrol the Jer-
sey coast.
