scene of their secret tryst in the woods
near her Lake Forest home, tonight
confessed that she wa dead when he
left her ,
That confession, piled on top of the
day's list of developments, started
him on the way to the Waukegan jail,
a murder suspect and started the po
lice on the trail of further evidence
on what they thought might prove a
trick suicide paot or suicide by false
pretenses.

After visit to the scene of the
tragedy on his arrival at Lake Forest
from Madison, Wis., today Orpet broke
down and confessed to State's Attorney

low poison and that she was dead when
he left.
From his cell in the Jail he admitted
that the Lambert girl had the right to
appeal ' to him for protection, which
he did not deem it advisable to give,
but protested that he was innocent
of murder.
His clothes, taking tip the story
where he left off, yielded stray grains
of sugar which the police seized as a
clue in the. direction of the trick sui
cide pact. .
A old aad Sugar rig-ore,
"I am not yet ready to start a mur

Backing their theories, a letter was
produced with its telltale story of the
