Marion JLamhert Not Cheerful and
Happy, as Formerly Described,
Despondent Over Ap
proaching Motherhood.
WATJKEGAN. 111.. June 13. Jose
phine Davis completed her, testimony
today without wavering from her re
vised statements to the effect that
Marlon Lambert, for whose alleged
murder Will H. Orpet is being trie 1,
was frequently depressed and melan
choly, xcept when in public, and that
she actually threatened to commit sui
cide. According to Miss Davis, chum of
Miss Lambert, the latter was perturbed
about her condition for some time, and
while on January 20 thit was some
what allayed a new worry arose in the
knowledge that young Orpe had trans
ferred his affections to Miss Celeste
Youker.
The schoolgirl witness, called by the
state, continued to testify for the de
fense. 6he completely repudiated
previous stories of the cheerfulness of
Marion, her chum, and told of spells of
depression over fear that she was
enceinte, and later, when this fear be
came less acute after January 20, over
the reported defection of Orpet.
Other Girl's Motive Snapected.
It was Dorothy Mason who told
Marion that Orpet, a student at the
University of Wisconsin, was engaged
to marry Celeste Youker, according to
the witness.
'I wonder why she told me that.'
Marlon said to me," related Miss Davis.
"Maybe it was Just to make me feel
bad.'
"So we framed tip a letter to Orpet.
but as no reply was received Marlon
began to think Miss Mason had told
the truth. It was on February 6 when
Marion had her 18th birthday party
that she threatened to kill herself.
'Honest, if Billle has thrown me
over, I'll kill myself, she told me.
"I laughed at her Just to try to get
her - out of the mood and then she
laughed, too. I said: 'You won't let
me tell everything to your mother
now; shall I tell what I know after
death?' She laughed and said. 'Well,
guess not. There will be gossip.
anyway, and we might as well give
them something to gossip about.' "
State's Case Is Shaken.
The 'state's case was built largely
around Miss Davis' former statements
that her chum was happy at all times
and at no time displayed signs of de
spondency. She explained that her
first stories were told in the midst of
excitement, while she was mourning
her friend, and her resentment against
Orpet led her to assume his guilt.
Conversation with her mother lay at
the- bottom of her change of heart. It
was too grave a thing to trifle in the
smallest way with the life and liberty
of a human being, and eventually she
told her story, she said, to a represen
tative of the defense.
