Attorneys and Chemists in
Battle on Question Whether
Cyanide Which Killed Girl
Was Liquid or Powder.

WAUKEGAN, H.. July g. - The
court room in which Will Orpet is
being tried for the murder Of Mari
an Lambert was turned into a labor
atory TODAY while experts and attor-
neys engaged in a general battle
with formulas and chemical terms
for weapons. All during the fore
noon session, attorneys for the state
endeavored unsuccessfully TO break
down the expert testimony OF DR..
John A. Wesener that the cyanide
which caused the girls death was
in powder form.
The fight waged especially fercely
around the three spots which were
found or Marian Lambert's green
coat. which she wore 10 her death
in Helm woods Psychologists have
by cyanide of potassium, but
whether the spots were made by
powder or liquid is mOoted ques-
ton. The defense had staunchly
contended that the girl herself took
the poison-in powder form; the
state that Orpet gave her bot
tie of liquid cyanide.
Deals Blow to State.
DIR. Wesener also dealt the state
blow by testifying that the cyanide
which was found in the dead girls
band could not have come from
the Orpet greenhouse because it
tested a higher percentage than SAM
pies which have since been taken
from the greenhouse.
Bitter clashes between the wit
nesses, the states and the defense's
attorneys marked the progress of the
questioning. The state impugned
the motives Of Or. Wesener in testi-
flying as ne did, which brought hot
replies and objections from Orpet's
counsel. Summed up, Or. Wesener's
testimony was as follows:
The cyanide, if in solution form.
would have showed no trace Of cy-
anogen at the end Of four weeks.
Lasts Longer i'm Powder.
critics would have lasted a longer
time.
Therefore, since the spots on the
coat still held traces of the poison
on June 13-four months after the
girls death-they must have been
in powder form or they must have
been put there since the body was
found.
Following DR.. Wesener on the
stand was DIR. William O. Krohn, an
other poison expert.
He testified at length. under direct
examination. concerning hysteria.
nervous diseases and kindred all
ments as they affect young persons
Through his testimony the defense
expected 20 show that Marian Lam
bert was in a state OF hysteria at

such a condition was susceptible 20

For unto you is born this day in the city of David Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swad ding cloths and lying in manger.'
