their inning i'm the game for
the life or death of Will Or
pet today.
The bunch"now only 16
strong-are school girls, chums
of Marian Lambert, and they
came into the big courtroom half
laughing, half frightened, and
took the stand, one after the
other, to aid the prosecution OF
the youth who wrecked the life
of their friend.
They had been in court before
but this was their day-the day
they were to refute the story of
Josephine Davis, now ostracised
from the BUNCH" who said Mar
ian had cried and threatened sui
eide on the day of her 18th birth
day party, four days before her
body was found.
''She Was Dead"
Bernice Wells came first to the
stand.
What did Marian say to you
when you left the Lambert home
the day Of the Party?" the prose-
cutor asked.
'Bernice, ! am awfully glad
you could come that's what she
said" the witness answered.
Then she said she would meet
me at Eleanor Doubles home the
next Sunday"
But she didn't meet you?"
asked the prosecutor.
"She was dead" Bernice an
swered.
Then the state got down to the
question it wanted brought out.
did you see Marian go with
Josephine Davis in any other
room on the afternoon of the
birthday party?"
81 did not"
Did you see her crying?"
NO"
Marian Was Crying.
Florence Russell came next.
did you see anyone crying at
the birthday party?" she was
asked.
Yes" said Florence. Anna
Paulson was crying"
Anyone else?"
Eyes, Marian Lambert and
she both were crying together"
What did Marian and Anna
say?"
Marian said: Anna, I'm aw-
fully sorry you did not arrange
to stay all night with me. We
haven't missed staying together
on my birthday for Is years
"Was that al she was crying
about "

Then the state turned Miss
Russell over to Attorney Potter
of the defense for cross-examina-
ton.
Florence admitted she was
lust friendly" with Marian and
that she was not alone with her
on the day of her birthday party.
Marian told me Sunday morn
ing that she had learned VIII
Orpet was engaged to Miss You
ker, and that Josephine had writ
ten Will and soon Will would
come down and tell her the
straight trutho { it," Miss Rus
sell said.
On redirect examination the
state brought out Marian had told
Florence that Orpet had been to
Lake Forest two weeks previous
to the birthday party, and had
slept In the garage on the Kup-
penheimer estate, because he had
something on the chauffeur and
could stay there any time he
wanted to and nobody would
know it. "a
Marion told me Orpet was of a
passionate temperament. Miss
Russell said. HE would get mad
and fly off into a temper; Mar
ian said she liked him that way"
Then Miss Russell sprang the
testimony the state had waited
for.
"She Didn't Care"
Marian" she said, told; me
once that she thought Josephine
Davis liked Will Orpet awfully

didn't care ABOUT that. She
