COSTS $45OO TO GET
FOUR OF ORPET JURY
Slow Progress in Trial of Stu
dent for Poisoning of
Lambert Girl

wAUKEGAN, ILL.,, May 25.-The work of
getting jury to try Will orpet, University
of Michigan student, on charges of murder
ing his sweetheart, Marion Lambert, is 60
ing backward instead of forward. When
court opened today there was four sworn
and four tentatively accepted jurors in the
box, and attorneys were hopeful of COM
pleting jury by today. AT the opening of
the case this morning, there remained only
four sworn and one temporarily acceptable
juror. The others have been dismissed for
various reasons.
Almost 600 talesmen have been examined
In the nine days of the trial. 1t has cost
Lake County $4,000 to get four jurors. Sum-
moning business men instead of farmers
has failed to expedite the trial as expected.
1t was suggested-and not denied by the
young students lawyers-that the defense
would make an effort to prove a hereditary
suicidal streak in the Lambert family his
tory If this can be proved, 1t admittedly
will be big factor in legally determining
whether the pretty little schoolgirl took the
cyanide that caused her death.
