CRIMES LOCATION STUDIED IN COURT
 AT 0RPET'S TRIAL
Is Last Place In World Murder Would Be Committed Says Defendants Attorney. It Was In Plain View
(Ry Review Leased Wire.)

WAUKEGAN, H.. June 30.-Wil- liam H. Orpet. having told his story of the death of Marion Lambert. a task which was completed yesterday. his story was placed on trial today. That at least was the comment that his chief of counsel. James H. Wilk- erson put on the days evidence and that which will follow. r-
 Today's array of witnesses summon ed to support the defendants asser- ton that he did not poison Marion and that therefore she must have committed suicide were for the most part to prove that Helms woods was the last place which murderer would deliberately select as the scene of his crime The witnesses on this point were Gale M. Brooks. civil engineer. James Anderson. Jr., his as- sistant in mapping Helms woods; w. W. Gurley, a photographer. who took pictures of the place from almost every angle and of almost everything in it: Henry D. Walsh. a conductor, and John J. Staffney. his motorman.
 Prof. Henry J. Cox. weather fore tdSltI dl tHlNdSO, itSliiltu oS tO HIS February records. that being the month in which Marion came to her death and Orpet was arrested. NIT. Brooks asserted that in the place where MariOn's body was found, he could plainly see Anderson walking n the various roads around the woods and Anderson swore that from the roads he could see his chief with per feet dstinctness. Gurley's photo Eraphs showed a sparse growth of trees and practically no underbrush- in fact certain directions the photo grapyhs showed clear through the woods. The street car men testified that they could see the three men distinctly from their car.
 Cross examination of Messrs. Brooks and Anderson brought out that bit of underbrush in the woods had been burned since last February. '3e2direct examination elicited that thearea burned was slight and. was in ? hollow. that would not affect the disability of the points mentioned by the witnesses.

times, particularly in your photogra- phic senses, very brutal to me, and YOU sometimes invade my privacy. even to the extent of formulating my judgments before they are formed. and yet I am tempted when l stand face to face with you to take off all guard and merely expose myself to you as the fallible human being that am.
 MT. Colby said something that was among the few things l had forecast to say myself He said that there are some things which it is really useless to debate. because they go as matter of course.
 "Of course. it is our duty to pre- pare this nation to take care Of its honor and of its institutions. Why debate any part of that. except the detail. except the plan itself which is always debatable?
 Defense of Honor Presupposed. "Of coure. 1t is the duty of the gov ernment which it will never overlook to defend the territory and people of this country. It goes without saying that it is the duty of the administra- ton to have constantly in mind with the utmost sensitiveness every point of national honor
 But gentlemen. after you have said and accepted these obvious things your progrem of action is still to be formed. When will you act, and how will you act?
 The Easiest Way.
 The easiest thing is to strike. The brutal thing is the impulsive thing. No man has to think before he takes aggressive action but before man really Conserves the honor by real izing the ideals of the nation. he has to think exactly what he will do and how he will do it.
 Do you think the glory of America would be enhanced by a war of con quest in Mexico? Do you think that any act of violence by powerful na- tion like this against a weak and destructive neighbor would reflect dis tinction upon the annals of the Unitel States?
 Do you think that it is our duty Co carry self defense to a point Of dictation into the affairs of another people? The ideals of America are written plainly upon every page or American history.

Piedras Negras and Matamor- os. The Carranza garrisons are ex- pected to retire quickly southward to positions already selected where they can harass and impede any invading force.
 Expect One Big Clash.
 Mexican army officers are known to differ as to the ability of their troops to battle the Americans. It is thought certain that the views of a faction which clings to the belief that the Mexicans are the superior fight CTS will prevail to the extent of pre- cipitating at least one pitched battle After that. however. American army men are convinced the Mexicans will have received a lesson that will re- suit in the campaign being managed by another faction. The latter's cam paisn. it is thought, will provide for a sar-reaching guerrilla warfare in which decisive battles will be avoided.
 Ports to Be Deserted.
 Evacuation of the seaport towns is expected to be one of the immediate nolicies the Mexicans will put into eff feet.
 Twenty-two horses, twenty-one sad dles and a quantity of rifles. pistols, ammunition and clothing. captured at CarrZal, today was turned over at the international bridge here to American military authorities. The horses were brought to the Mexican end of the structure by peon and driven across in a drove to the American side where waiting troopers caught them. The accoutrements were hauled across in a rickety wagon, an American officer signing a receipt for the property. Military authorities on the Aneri- can side we , still investigating a complaint made by General Gonzales commander of the Juarez garrison that the American troops near fsleta, Texas. last night fired across the line killing Juan Moreno, Mexican GUS toms guard Nothing was found to substantiate the complaint, it was said
 A report reached American military authorities here today that General Gabriel Gavira, commanding northern Chihuahua. had returned to JuaTez from Mexico City, where he conferred with War Minister Obregon. This was denied at the Juarez commandancia with the admission that he is expect

heretofore there have been too few regular troops.
 Small Towns Endangered.
 Army men point out that it is at these small points that there is most danger Of clashes, the military author ities in the larger communities gen erally being adequate to control any situation that may arise.
 Mexican authorities here and ir Juarez said tonight that they had re ceived no information regarding Car ranza's memorandum other than con tained in press dispatches from MeM- % City. A prominent Carranza off cial. however. expressed the view that the memorandum despite its sharp tone, need not lead to a break.
 Reply Contradicts U. s.
 Apparently this is public state ment issued in denial of certain charges preferred against the de facto government in Secretary Lansing's re cent note" be said. ''ln the Mexican view the Lansing note does not prop erly relate to the vital points at issue, but is rather bill of American griev- ances against the administration of our first chief.
 May Evade Issue.
 Since Mr. Lansing sent his note, Washington has asked our first chief for declaration of his intentions to wards the United States. Unless the memorandum just issued in Mexico City states these intentions definite ly. I cannot see that it bears on the main point
 U. S. Campaign Complete.
 With the situation growing graver and graver United States army men are making diligent study of the campaign their opponents probably will wage It is believed it will be largely defensive.
 Expect Attack on Pershing.
 Reports received from south of the border regarding the position of Mex ican troops make it logical to assume, American strategists say, that the Mexican soldiers will launch a quick attack on General Pershing's column for the purpose of staggering il be fore endorsements can arrive.
 Will Destroy Railway.
 It is thought that an effort prob ably would be made to cut the Amer ican line of communications and al the same time retain control of the railroads, which will be destroyed as can plan will include general retreat were necessary. Coincident with this
