BOTTLE SOUGHT
AS oRPET CLEw
Shows ThaW Leads to
New Search Where
Girls Body Lay.
rRr r.lesrsph to Tie Trlbune.l J

Chicago. Feb. 1.-THE two-ounce
bottle which Willim II. Opet bought
in Madison, Wis, before starting for
Lake Forest TO meet Marian Lambert
was still the missing key to-day by
which officers hope eventually to unlock
the mystery Of the girls death. Its To-
cation was put up to Leslie ?. Hanna,
attorney for the young man.
"Wll you let Orpet tell" Mr.. Hanna
was asked, "what he did with the bottle
which c. W. Hassinger, the Madison
drug clerk, says he sold him, and which
Orpet himself admits having bought
Mr.. Hanna denied the request.
IL do not recognize the accuracy Of
the many stories about the bottle he
said.
"Have you discussed the matter with
your client? Do you know where the
bottle is YOURSELF"
81 have discussed various incidents
Of the case with him as they came up
answered Mr.. Hanna.
Chief McGuire, of the Lake Forest
police, took advantage of yesterdays
thaw, the first since the discovery Of
Marian Lambert's body, to renew his
search for the bottle. With five officers
he started early in the morning into
the woods where the girl was found,
planning to search every inch of the
ground.
Mrs. Lambert, mother of the dead
girl. was reported to-day to be still
prostrated, though not in a dangerouy
condition.
Harry r. Beardsley, of the William
J. Burns International Detective Agen-
cy. said he would search the tracks and
roadbed of the Northwestern Railway
between Highland Park and Chicago
for the bottle. His theory is that
Orpet threw the bottle away while rid
ing into Chicago from Highland Park
after he had left the girl in Helms
Woods.
81 have traced Orpet's movements
from the time he purchased the empty
bottle in Tiedeman's drug store, at
Madison, at ll:45 in the morning. a
week ago last Tuesday" said Boards
ley. 81 also know that Orpet wrote 10
William J. Zick, a fellow student at
Madison. last summer. In the letter
he told Zick he wanted a medicine for
girl friend.
AT Tiedeman's drug store | verified
the fact, already reported. that Orpet
asked for an empty capsule of eN-
traordinary size before he bought the
empty bottle. He took the bottle only
because he could not get big enough
capsule.
AT 1905 o'clock. one week ago last
Tuesday, Orpet left Madison on a
Northwestern train. He got off at
West Allis, near Milwaukee, and waited
there twenty minutes for train to
Highland Park. At S:25 p. m. he tele-
phoned TO Marian Lambert from High
land Fark The record of the call has
been found, but have not been able
to find telephone operator who over
heard the conversation"
