ORPET'S LETTERS
ARE ISSUEIN CASE
Judge Donnelly Delays Baling on
Objection of Defense at to
Their Competency.
0BFET TALES TO BEP0BTEE
Waukegan, 111., June 23. Judge
Donnelly was st(ll unprepared when
court opened today to rule on the
competence or incompetence is evi
dence of the earlier letters of Will H.
Orpet to Marion Lambert, for whose
alleged murder the young man is on
trial. ' ; ...-'
The defense objected to the admis
sion of the earlier letter a having
no bearing on Marion' death. Judge
Donnelly, speaking to the lawyer be
fore the jury wa called in, said that
the letters wt.e so prejudicial to Or
pet. as . plainly indicating seduction
that it would be dangerous to submit
them to the jury.
"I have read the letter," the court
said, "and they affected me. The ef
fect on the jury may be imagined.
They might not draw the distinction
that they are trying the defendant
for murder and murder alone."
State' Attorney Dady argued for
their admission ok the broad ground
that an illicit love affair culminating
in murder could be shown only by
reading the entire series of epistles.
The citation of authorities consumed
an hour. ' -
Orpet' Talk to Reporter. .
Everett Friganza, a newspaper re
porter, who had various interviews
with Orpet, was recalled to the stand.
"Orpet told me that he met Mar
ion In the Helm's woods to tell her
their freindship had ceased that he
wa through," the witness said. "He
said thev walked together. She
stopped and he walked on. When he
looked back she had fallen in the
snow." ' -
Friganza, In talking with Orpet on
the train coming from Madison, to
Lake Forest, asked Orpet if he was
engaged to Celeste Yonker.
"He said they were practically en-
Eased." related the witness. "He
asked me not to drag nef name Into
the case. He admitted that his rela
tions with Marion were illicit. He
said 'it was a cold proposition I nev
er told her I loved her I never (aid
I would marry her.'"
Objection by Defenie.
After Oroet wa olaced in iail Fri
ganza aid that he found it difficult
to reach Orpet and had himself ar
rested and thrown into jail with the
accused on February 20.
. At this point Attorney Potter of the
defense objected, '
"We have information," laid Mr.
Potter, "that the state's attorney con
nived with witness to get him into
jail to obtain Orpet' confidence."
"Overruled," said the court
"In the iail." continued the witness.
"I aaked Orpet if he had disposed of
the bottle which contained the potas
sium cyanide. He laid 'no.' "
aligning of the various factional lead
en with the government continues.
