VA'iUS. July 13. Professor Eli
Metchnikoff, the famous bacteriologist,
is dead from heart disease. He was 71
yeaVs old.
Professor Metchnikoff was world-famous
as an exponent of theories for the
prolongation of human life. He was
most popularly known as the grreat ad
vocate of tne "sour milk cure" for old
age. believing- that the principal agent
in senile decay was the continuous
auto-intoxication of the body through
the putrefaction of matter in the large
Intestine and that the bacteria which
cause such putrefaction could be ef
fectively combated by preparations of
milk soured by cultures of selected lac
tic acid bacilli. Later Professor Metch
nikoff went so far as t. declare that
the larga intestine was as useless in
the human body as is the appendix,
and prophesied that the day would come
when it would be a commonplace op
eration to remove it.
He was the discoverer in 1912 of a
new microbe which he called the "gly
cobacteria" in the intestines of a dog
and announced his belief that the in
oculation of the large intestine in hu
man beings with this germ would go
still further than the sour milk treat
ment toward the prevention of senile
decrepitude. The "glycobacterio," it
was explained, were sugar bacilli of
Which the large intestine stood in need.
Kxperiments Made on Self.
Of this discovery. Professor Metchni
koff said: "In the course of my recent
researches I found that there exists
In the large intestine of human beings
a certain quantity of poisonous sub
stances, which are called indols and
phenols, and which have been proved
responsible for the gradual decay of
the system, known as old age. These
can be destroyed only by sugar."
Jn the course of hi3 studies. Pro.
fessor Metchnikoff experimented upon
himself to some extent as well as upon
animals, and it is said that he inocu
lated himself with the new "grlycobac
teria." In 1SS8 he had attracted the notice
of Louis Pasteur, the founder of the
famous Pasteur Institute for the treat
ment of rabies, in Paris, and he was in
vited to become one of Pasteur's asso
ciates. In 1S9S he succeeded as the di
rector of the institute, a post which
be held to the time of his death.
150 Tear, of Life Forecast.
In his study of longevity. Professor
Metchnikoff came to the belief
that it should not be uncommon
for people to live to the age of 150
years. His researches showed amonK
other things that animals which had
no large intestines lived to an advanced
age. In the case of human beings he
found that even among those whose
sufferings were terrible. there were
few who wanted to be put out of their
agony by death- They all wanted to
live. "This," said Metchnikoff, "shows
that deaths between the ages of 60 and
80 are not natural."
If the normal specific longevity were
attained by human beings he believed
that old age and not degenerate indi
viduals would lose the instinct for life
and acquire an instinct for death and
that as they had fulfilled the normal
cycle of life, they would accept death
with the same relieved acquiescence as
they now accept sleep.
He was the author of a number of
hooks. including: "The Nature of
Man," "Immunity in Infective Diseases,"
"Prolongation of Human Life," and
"Optimistic Essays."

Prosecutor Finds Dying Wife
on Return After Fake Call.
SHOTS FIRED AT ASSASSIN
Mrs. Oscar McDaniel, of St. Joseph,
Mo., lleatm to Death in Home
as Part ot PJot ' to Stop
Fight Against Crime.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 15. Mrs. Os
car McDaniel, wife of th prosecuting
attorney of Bucbajian County, whose
skull was crushed by assassins at her
home about midnight last night, died at
Ensworth Hospital here today without
having regained consciousness. The
entire police and. Sheriff's forces are
engaged in the- search for the murderer
op murderers. Five men have been
taken into custody pending the Investi
gation. An assassin fired five shots at her
husband, who engaged in a pistol duel
with the man. Kither was hit and
the man escaped. The attack was evi
dently earefu'ly planned, and it is be
lieved the assassin intended to kill
both the prosecutor and his wife. The
police connect the tragedy with an
anonymous threatening letter received
by Mr. McDaniel about a week ago.
McDaniel was called downtown by a
telephone call about 11:80 P. M. He
found the call was a fake. Ho hurried
back home and as he stopped his car
rn rront or the nouse a. man openea lire
on hin fromi behind a. tree. After his
assailant fled, the prosecutor hurried
on upstairs to his wife's room, where
he found her senseless on the floor, her
head terribly crushed. She had been
beaten with some heavy, blunt instru
ment. Bloodhounds are being used, in
an effort to track the slayer.
Friends of the Prosecuting- Attorney
believe the crime the result of his ac
tivity in prosecuting burglars and high
waymen. H -is just completing sis
first term in office and several times
had been warned anonymously not to
be & candidate again.
LOU 0RPET IS ACQUITTED
(Continued From First PssO
Mrs. Orpet, and they made their way
down the back stairs and to the jail.
Orpet's few belongings which he had
in his cell were already packed.
He had recovered his self-possession
by this time and thanked Sheriff Grif
fin for making his four months' stay in
jail as comfortable as possible.
The party then were taken home in
an automobile by Leslie P, Hanna,
Waukegan, attorney for the defense.
Three Ballots Taken.
The important events of the trial all
occurred on the 15th. The selection of
the jury began May IB, the taking of
testimony was tgun June 15, and ac
quittal was July 15.
Three ballots were taken by the jury.
The first two stood 11 to 1 for acquittal.
Foreman O'Shea said that by agreement
of the jurors the name of the obdurate
member would not be made public.
The Jury had received instructions
from Judge Donnelly which Mr. Wilker
son and Mr. Potter. Orpet's counsel,
considered highly favorable to tie de
fendant in tne ii interpretation ot rea
sonable doubt as applied to the search
of baffling circumstances which con
stituted the principal part of the evi
dence.
Judge Donnelly said that he would
be very slew to admit a mistrial.
After the jury retired the defendant,
with a smile on his face, retired with
his mother and Mrs, Edwin Taylor, a?
friend at whose home hj roemed while
attending the University of Wisconsin
at Madison, to the witness room, ad
joining that assigned to the jury. Their
attorneys and a few friends followed
them and chatted freely ef the evidence.
A reporter who had written 6ome time
ago that Mrs. Orpet ha4 eried in court
was chided by her.
"I have not broken down once." she
said, "and I don't want people to thirk
I broke down when my son needed me "

has had to bear ten times what I hav
or what anyone else hi-s."
The forenoon and if minutes of the
afternoon session were occupied by
Attorney David Joslyn in the final sum
ming up for the state. Th rumpled
bed at Madison, the alibi letters, the
flight from Helms Woods, the defend
ant's alleged freaks of memory, were
pictured with a sinister sequence from
which he said no inference than guilt
could be drawn.
"He got that cyanide of potassium in
Madison and brought it with him to
Lake Forest," said Mr. Joslyn. "He
took it into Helms Woods with him and
administered it to Marion Lambert in
liquid form. Never mind the experts,
gentlemen of the jury, use your com
mon sense. Liquid alone could have
made those circular spots on her cloak,
and liquid alone could have reached
her stomach. You can't swallow a
dry powder and you know it, especi
ally when death from the fumes, as
the chemists testified, comes so quickly
as to preclude the act of swallowing."
Case Perplexing One.
The case of Marion Lambert and
William H. Orpet. in the course of Its
development, became one of the most
perplexing in the annals of criminal
history. Motive, paralleled motive, ac
tion, paralleled action. opportunity,
paralleled opportunity, until the marks
of murder and of suicide became sub
stantially as one.
In the end the guilt or innocence of
the defendant, so far as the adduction
of actual fact was concerned went to
the jury on the mystifying niceties of
chemical analysis and Orpet's own com
promising conduct. The mystery at
tracted unusual interest in all parts of
the United States and Canada.
I .a at Summer, young Orpet, then a
pallid, slender youth of 19, of sharply
regular features, somewhat vain of his
college opportunities and undisciplined
as to character, returned from the
University of Wisconsin at Madison for
a vacation at home. He fell madly in
love with Marion, according to- his let
ters. She had completed her junior year
at the Deerfield High School and was
then 17 and known for her gaiety and
laughter "the life of the party," as
one witness put it.
Girl'a Letters Destroyed.
When Orpet returned to college in
the Fall of 1915 frequent letters were
exchanged. OrpeJ destroyed hers: she
saved his and they remained after her
death to speak ef the great fear of
exposure that came upon her. Orpet,
in testifying, said that he was certain
that these fears were groundless. Once
he mailed her a bottle of molasses and
water "to ease her mind." and he
brought a similar compound with him
for the same purpose when he entered
Helm's woods, near Lake Forest, with
her en the morning of Wednesday, Feb
ruary v. last. i
Opnet testified that he nud tm trtn'
to allay her fears and to explain a story
which had reached Marion that he was
engaged to one Celestia Youker, but
the elaborate efforts which he made to
keep the trip secret, and his subse
quent eonf Uoting statements - of it to
officers of the law developed Into the
most damaging evidence against him.
It led to the menacing questions of
