and Conniuiy, ifrovldlug for the neu
tral respect by the two nntlon'fl for
tlio rights of each other' subjects,
has' been denounced by Italy, owing
to tlio hostile, nttltudo of Germany,
according to the Olomule d'ltalla to

i Rtronp iloinnnd has nrlsou In the
prom and among tlio public for a
cancellation of the agreement be
tween Italy and Germany, whoroby
the rights of citizens of each coun
try, within tlio other's domain, wore
to bo rospected, violation of the
attroemont by Germany being alleged.
Tlio situation Is such that tlio rela
tions of Italy and Germany sootn to
havo roachod a grontor tension than
at any time, sttice tlio war began.
Ilefore leaving Home in the spring
of 1915, Prince von Duelow, thou
Gorman ambassador to Italy, con
cluded an agreement with the Italian
government, under which, In case of
war between Austria and Italy, Gor
uiany nnd Italy pledged thomselvos
to roepoct the property and lives of
their rospoctlve subjects. This meant
for Germany a guarnnteo of several
million dollars worth of proportion in
Italy, held by her subjects, aud for
Italy the safety of 30,000 of her
cltUeus, still living In Gormany.
Had Keith Alleged.
Xo state of war exluta between
Germany aud Italy, and the negotia
tion of 1'ilnco von Uticlow Is still in
foree. Italy, according to official
opinion here, has faithfully observed
the agreement, refraining from
touohliiK German property and freely
allowing Riibjorts of the German em
pire to rotldo here. On the other
hand, Germany Is unofficially ac
cused of violating the agroomont In
depriving Italian In Gormany of
their liberty of action, preventing
mon of military age from leaving the
country, suspending payments due
troatlng them as siibjocta of a hos
tile power.
Accordingly, a demand Is now
bolng voiced for abrogation of the
agreement, which In addition to the
alleged disregard of Its provisions by
Germany, has resulted In misunder
standings In allied nations regarding
the situation.

CASE OF ORPET
TO
Fate of Student Accused of Murder
ing Sweetheart Rests With Jury
Court's Instructions Most Favor
able to defense Prosecution
Claims Tantamount to a Command.
WAITKUCIAX. Ills, July 1!5. Tho
ease of Will II. Orpet, university of
Wisconsin student, cbargod with the
niunlor of .Marlon Iaiiubert, was
given to the Jury this afternoon.
Counsel for the dofeudant said that
.ludgo Donnelb's Instructions to the
Jury wero tantamount to a command
to Dig Jury to acquit.
Special ProMccutor .loslyn In closing
said that there could bo no doubt that
tlio white spotH ou Marlon's coat ware
made trout liquid. He asserted that
the only real attack on this theory
was iniulo by tlio dofouse, outsldo
the use of experts, was to Intimate
that tho spots wore placed thoro by
some ono lutorostod In the prosecu
tion. "And you don't hollovo that,"
Insisted the lawyer.
.Speaking of Orpot's statement thnL
ho moroly looked at the body aud
fled, Mr. .loslyn said:
Closing Aiguinent.
"If ho suddenly was surprised to
rind her uiicnnsoloiis there, wouldn't
ho hnvo hathod her head lu snow,
wouldn't ho havo opened her drus's,
wouldn't ho hnvo searched exhaus
tively for signs of life Hvon tho
rnllous defendant would hnvo douo
that, but ho didn't because bo know
she was dead and he alone know."
At the close of Mr. Joulyn'H argu
ment, Judge Donnelly delivered bis
luilructlous to tho Jury.
Counsel for tho dofeuso considered
Judge Donnelly's Instructions favor
able to tho defendant. Hxcerpts fol
low; "The Jury should not go beyond
the evidence to hunt up doubts, nor
must they entertain such doubU as
chimerical or conjectural."
"The court Instructs the Jury Hint
although the Jury should bo satisfied
from tho evidence beyond a reason
able doubt that the deceased Marlon
lambert died from cyanide of potas
sium poisoning, still, If the Jury fur
ther finds from the evidence that she
hud tho snuio opportunity for taking
the poison herself without the aid of
the defendant, that the defendant bad
to give It to her, and If It Is possible
from any reasonable manner to ex
plain all tho facts and circumstances
proved ou the trial consistently with
the hypothesis that she did take tho
poison herself, for the purpose ot
killing herself, then this Is sufficient
to arise a resanoble doubt and tho
Jury should render a verdict of not
guilty."
ludgo Pntoitt Dciifcndniit
"Nothing short of proof so clear
and convincing as to exclude every
reasouatde hypothesis of Innocence
will Justify a conrletlon. and without
such proof, the jury must find the
defendant not guilty."
"To warrant a conviction the de
fendant must bv proven guilty so
slaurly that there la no reasonable
theory that he can be Innocent."
"Huless you find beyond all reas
onable doubt In considering the evi
dence that the defendant had omilde
of potassium In bis possession Just
trior to the death of Marion leniert,
then you should rind the defendant
hot guilty "
"Flight, though a circumstance to
be weighed agalust the defendant, is
not of s conclusive character and It
may not u. evidence of guilt If It ap
pears that there was any motive for
flight other than a sense of guilt."
"If there are to theories, one for
guilt and one for Innocence theu

snt down on tho stops to rost. Soon
ho heard groans from within and
broke down tho door. 1I0 found n
well-dioMod woman of about 31
years old, dark comploxioncd aud
weighing about 1 10 pounds, In tho
labors of childbirth. Ho gava her
what help he was able and cared for
tho Infant, nnd thou suggested that
ho go to tho nearest settlement, six
miles away, for holp. This tho girl
would not allow, declaring that she
would Icavo tho cabin It ho did so.
He finally provalled upon her to wait
until ho returned with food.
Upon Ills return with food and

woro lost. Last night the sheriff tele
phoned lu from tho lookout station
on Mount Siskiyou. Tho country, ho
roported, Is brushy nnd offers nlmost
perfect concealment, as luomborH of

The prospector was unable to get
