O . ; : . - 1 4 Or While Witnesses for Defense Testify Defendant At ' tends to Mail. SCORES OF LETTERS COME front Halifax to Spokane and South to Tampa Strangers Extend Sym pathy to Youth Who Says Girl Poisoned Herself. VAUKEGAN, 111.. June 30. William H. Orpet, having told his story of the death of Marion Lambert, a task he completed yesterday, the recital was placed on trial today. That, at least, was the comment that his chief of counsel, James H. Wilkerson, put on the day's evidence and much that will follow. Today's array of witnesses summoned to support the defendant's asseertion that he did not poison Marion and that therefore, she must have com mitted suicide, were used for the most part to prove that Helm's Woods was the last place which a muraerer de liberately would select as the scene of his crime. The witnesses called on this point were Gale M. Brooks, a civil engineer; James Anderson, Jr., his assistant in mapping Helm's Woods; W. W. Hurley, a photographer, who "took pictures" of the place from almost every angle and of almost everything in it; Henry D. Walsh, a conductor on the Chicago & Milwaukee electric line, and John D. Staffney, his motorman. Professor Henry J. Cox, weather forecaster at Chicago, testified as to his feoruary records, .that being the month in which Marion came to her death and Orpet was arrested. Mr. Brooks asserted that from the three trees where Marion's body was found he easily could see Anderson walking in the various roads around the woods and Anderson swore that from the roads he could see his chief with perfect distinctness. Curley's photographs showed a sparse growth of trees and practically no underbrush in fact, in certain directions the pho tographs showed clear through the woods. The streetcar men testified thai they could see the three trees distinctly from their car. Professor Cox's testimony bore on the bottle of molasses and water which Orpet said he threw away in his frightened flight from the woods and which was recovered nine days later. This container when found was frozen into a bunch of lorg grass and frozen to the bottle itself was a muddy lMf. The weather man s records showed the right combination of wind, snow, thaw and freezing to account for the .condition of the bottle. While the testimony now is being taken Ornet looks over letters which reach him every day from all parts of the country, from Halifax, fapokane ana Tampa, Fla. Most of them are from strangers and generally express sym pathy. KITCHENER ESTATE LARGE About $850,000 Distributed In Will on Probate. LONDON, June 30. The will of Field Marshal Earl Kitchener.
