OrPet Case is Now
 Before The Court

The mystery that surrounded tho love and death of Marian, the pretty high school girl, whose body was found February 10th in Helms Wood: at Lake Forest, has resolved itself in. to a question of murder or suicide which must be answered by the jury which will try Orpet as the girls slayer.
 orpet, junior at the University oi Wisconsin, has steadfastly maintain. ed his innocence since he was jailed on Feb. II. It is his contention tha' Marian committed suicide.
 States Attorney Ralph J. Dady who is leading the prosecution, bases his case on the theory that Orpet gave Marian cyanide of potassium, pre- tending to her that it was abortivc medicine.
 The defense, led by Former United States District Attorney James Wilk erson, planned today to contest every bit of circumstantial evidence that Dady will produce.
 Because of the wide publicity giver the case and the opinions that have been formed by Lake County citizens as to Orpets guilt or innocence, it was expected that the selection of jury would occupy at least a week.
 Marian was pretty and IS. She an( young Orpet, who is of the Byronic almost pretty" type of boy hac been friends since childhood. In re. cent years the two had trodden the primrose path.
 Orpet was 2l only a few weeks ago He had planned to marry Miss Celestia YOuker, daughter of a minis ter at Harrington, H., and herself ar instructor in chemistry at the state Normal School at DeKalb.
 After arranging an alibi to conceal the fact that he had left Madison Orpet went to Lake Forest on the night of February $.
 The next morning Orpet mel Marian by appointment in the woods told her he was through" and was going to marry Miss Youker.
 Marian, Orpet declared, sobbed called him back, and evidently swal lowed poison when he refused to re turn. At any rate, he declares, sh' fell to the snow-clad ground anC when he reached her side, she was dying.
 Marian died is his arms, Orpet said The boy admitted that he fled back tc Madison and made every effort t' conceal his departure.
 Marian, orpet stated, had told hin she was fearful of her condition. Al autopsy showed there was no basis for fear.
 Friends of Marian stated she ha' admitted to them that she knew sh' was not in the condition she told Or pet.
 Orpet admitted he had sent Marian abortive medicines some months prio1 to the tragedy.
 Marian's body was found by hel father, Frank H. Lambert, superin tendent on the Jonas Kuppenheimel estate at Lake Forest. There were nc marks of violence on the girl and the cause of her death remained a pro found mystery until an autopsy dis closed cyanide of potassium in tho stomach and also beneath the finger nails.
 The fact that poison was found be heath her nails was counted on by tho defense today as a strong point t' establish the girls suicide.
 Attorney WilkersOn cOntended tha Marian took the poison in crysta form, and by that means retained some of it beneath her nails.
 E. O. Orpet, father of the defend ant, and Marian's father have beer friends for many years. The familie have continued their friendship de spite the tragedy.

CONSIDERING APPEALS WORK ON new HOSPITAL
Razing of Outlying Buildings on
Grounds at Duke and Washington
i Streets

E. Work is rapidly being pushed Tor
ward in razing the back buildings
and outlying structures surrounding
the grounds and residence OF Ed
ward L. Daingerfeld at the intersec-
ton of Duke and Washington streets
which will be the site of the new
alexandria Hospital. The entire back
wing of the old Daingerfeld mansion
is being torn down by the detail OF
workmen employed by Richardson
and Burgess, Washington contractors,
who have the contract for the con-
,truction of the new edifice. Besides
This a stable and several outhouses
md frame buildings to the rear Of the
old residence are also being demol-
ished.
1t is expected that ground for the
lew hospital will be broken
carly next week, it depending on
vhethef' or not the contractors WlSh
% start work on the erection OF the
structure before the back buildings
Ire entirely torn down. In event that
he breaking of ground will follow only
he completion of the work of razing
he outhouses, it may be that several
Laws of next week may elapse before
round is broken. There, is little
likelihood of this, however.

Judge Barley of the Corporation Court
Will Soon Make Ruling on
Sunday Closing Law

THE case of J. Reece Caton,, an
appeal from the judgement of the
Police Court in imposing a fine of
five dollars upon him for selling Ice
cream, soda water, etc., on Sunday,
will be decided by Judge Barley OF
the Corporation Court in the next
few days. Three persons have been
fined recently in the Police Court for
keeping their places of business OPP
en- on Sunday and continuing IN oc-
equations not deemed necessary. One
paid the assessment, but the pay
ment of the fines in the other cases
has not been forced, nor Will 1t I'M
til the appellate court shall have sus-
tanned the lower court or set aside
its judgment. Leo P. Harlow IS
counsel for MIR. Cation.
Many appeals have been itaken
from Justice Crutchfield in Richmond.
If the jury in the Hastings Court:
.sustains the ruling Of Justice Crutch-
field some who have entered appeals
are expected to carry their cases to
the Virginia Supreme Court OF APP
peals for final verdict. Should the
Jury return verdict for the defend
ant, it is expected 20 be held as a
precedent and will likely mean that
in the future cigar, confectionery and
saltwater stores in Richmond may
carry on their trade on Sunday.
Practically every line of business
affected by the blue laws" is re-
presented in appeals from fines i'm
;; posed by Justice Crutchfeld. Ger
! tain businesses and callings have
been pronounced by the Police Court
Justice to be necessary occupations
on the Sabbath. He has held that al.
automobile may be repaired wlthou;
| violating the law, but that the sale
of gasoline to furnish the necessary
! fuel for the motor is violation ant
has imposed fines accordingly. II
Alexandria the furnishing of gaso
line for such purposes has not beer
regarded as violation Of the law
if it is shown to be necessary. Motor
lists are deeply interested in the out
come of this test case. He has rulet
that a church organist and choirmas
ter may follow his profession, bu
has put the ban on hotel orchestras
;. Bootblacks and BARRIERS are classeC
by Justice Crutchfield as being i,
the prohibited class, while he ha:
! declared street cars, telephones ant
! telegraph services to be recessitie:
and therefore allowed them to con
tinue business without interruption
! The lid has never been put on tigh-
ter in Norfolk or Newport News.
Jitneys are just as necessary or
Sundays as street cars. So ruled
