Tells Prosecutor He Could Not Identify Letters to Girl Chlca_go, June 106.—E. O Orpet took the stand in the Circuit Court at Waukegan yesterday as a witness for the state in its efforts to send his son to the gallows or the penitentiary. As he ascended the stand Frank Lambert, father of the girl with whose death Will Orpet is charged, stepped down. The two fathers, one trying in every way to shield his boy and the other endeavoring to avenge his daughter, brushed each other on their » Way to and from the witness chair. ' Mrs. Lambert in mourning, a tragic figure sat with her head bowed in her hands, weeping silently, as her hus- band told his dramatic story of find- ing his daughter dead in Helm’s Woods with the new snow drifted over her. If Mrs. Lambert had stretched out her arm she could have touched an- other mother whom this tragedy had plunged into sorrow as profound as her own. Beside her son Mrs. Orpet sat with twitching, troubled counten-, ance as the heartbroken man on the witness stand told of the series of happenings that had robbed him of his only child. Will Orpet was apparently unmoved. His white, finely chiselled face re- mained as cold and still as a cameo. He sat with arms crossed and head on one side with the air of one who listens critically and with impersonal interest. Once he turned and whis- pered to his mother. Again he took a leather notebook from an inner pocket and made a notation with a fountain pen. If State’s Attorney Ralph Dady ex- ! pected to prove anything vital against the boy by his father he was disap- pointed. Mr. Orpet, a black bearded Englishman of heavy build, his cheeks ruddy with health, told little that hurt his son’s chances and nothing that helped the prosecution. | He surprised Mr. Dady by saying he | could not identify the handwriting of forty-four letters as that of his son. One after another Mr, Dady showed | him forty-four letters written by Will | Orpet to Marion Lambert and asked | him if he could identify the hand- | writing. The prosecutor expected the identification would be a mere for- mality. To his surprise Mr. Orpet said he could not identify the hand- writing of any of the letters except two. One of these was signed “Wil- liam and the other “W. H. O.” Un- less the State is able to identify the letters through Mrs. Orpet it may have difficulty in identifying them at all. The letters have been regarded as a vital factor in the state’s case. Mr, Dady’s efforts to show that Will Orpet slept in his father’s garage on | the night before the fatal tryst with | Marion Lambert failed. An objection | entered by James H. Wilkerson, senior | counsel for the defence, prevented the | introduction of the very fact which | the state expected to prove by Mrs. | Orpet. This untold story onncerned1 the hiding in an ash heap of all the | cyanide of potassium kept in the | greenhouse at Mr. Orpet's, home a week after his son had been .arrested for the murder of Marion gmbert, whose death was caused by this poi- son. | drawing STAMFORD PARADES ON275TH BIRTHDAY Gorgeous Spectacle Covers Route Extending Five-Miles Stamford, June 10.—A salute seventeen guns fired by Battery F, Field Artillery, the new organization in this city, as soon as Governor Mar- cus H. Holcomb alighted from a special train today was the signal for the start of the big day of Stamford's 275th anniversary. The governor came on the train that conveyed the Second Company Governor's Foot Guards and the New Haven Grays, and was accompanied by his staff. He was met by Col. Patterson, U. S. A., retired, who had been appointed a special alde by the local committee of which Robert Whittaker was chair- man. There was also a flag bearer who carried the state standard. At about the same time a detachment of 800 marines and sailors from the battleships Minnesota, Vermont, Michigan and South Carolina landed from the vessels, which cast anchor last evening outside Stamford har- bor. In the military division, there were several companies of coast ar- tillery, and a company of field artil- lery, and these were followed by a brigade of 400 Boy Scouts. A series of floats or tableaux represented Stamford’s settlement and the part It played in all of the country’s wars. The costumed characters were Stam- ford men and women. About two thousand men marched in a division of fraternal societies, the Knights of Columbus who had 750 men in line, being the largest. The fire department of Stamford and vicinity formed another division, a little company from Sound Beach being headed by the famed Seventh Regiment band of New York. An- other division contained floats show- ing Stamford’s commercial enter- prises. ‘“Preparedness” Spectacle. After the procession had passed through five miles of gayily decoraed streets, a ‘“preparedne;s” spectacle was staged in Hallowe'en park. Then luncheon was served there to visitors in a big tent. Officers of the fleet were entertained by the Stamfora Yacht club, where dinner will be served late in the day, to the gover- nor and his staff, the Foot Guards and the Grays. Noted athletes en- tered for a meet that was held in the' afternoon in Hallowe'en park. There will be three band concerts and open air dancing tonight, and two carnivals are running. Wet weather interfered with program for the celebration during the first two days. A parade of school children about 5,000 in number was to have been held Thursday. The rain on that day and yesterday forced a postponement. It will be held next Wednesday. Most of the schools have decorated floats, representing historical or other subjects. Many of the pupils will be in costume. On account of wet weather and chieflly because of the cold it was decided to defer & series of water sports until July 4 when Stamford’s custom is to have a ‘“‘safe and sane” observance. The weather conditions today were not good although no rain fell in the early morning hours. A motor boat race is to be held to- morrow, however, and there will be rowing races for the sailors of the battleships. The vacht club has of- fered the use of its one design sloops for the use of the middies if they cared to demonstrate their seaman- ship. the Sunday’s Program. Sunday’s events include the dedica- tion of a monument commemorating the land purchase and settlement in 1641. A feature of it is a facsimile, much enlarged in broze, of the ori- ginal deed signed by Indian chiefs and whites. Immediately after the dedication there will be a mass meet- ing by the Stamford theater with sing- ing by he' Stamford male chorus and an historical address by Judge Charles D. Lockwood. Robert Whittaker is also to make an address, and his an- niversary hymn ‘“‘Stamford, My Home” for which music was compos- ed by Clayton E. Hotchkiss will be sung. ACCEPTS GERARD'S WORD Count Von Westarp Retracts Criticism on American Policy Based on Al- leged Interview With Ambassador. Berlin, June 9, via London, June 10, 10:02 a. m.—Count Friedrich Von Westarp, conservative leader in the Reichstag, has accepted the statement of the American ambassador, James W. Gerard, that the interview which the ambassador was alleged to have given to a representative of the Na- tional Zeitung, was a fabrication. As a consequence Count Westa tod. published a statement v: criticisms on the American policy which he made in the Reich- stag and which were based on the al- leged interview. CAR KILLS AGED WOMAN Waits in Shed for Shore Line Trolley and Runs in Its Path As It Ap- proaches. Deep River, June 10.—Mrs. William Frye, aged 70, was killed by a trolley car on the Shore Line Electric rail- way at Stromm’'s crossing today. She had been waiting for the car in a shed beside the track. As it ap- proached she ran out to cross over the tracks to be in readiness to board the car. She failed to get over and the car striking, dragged her a short distance, cutting off both limbs. Death was immediate.

The Women’s New Apparel Shop, 165 Main § LYMAN IN TEARS AS SENTENCE IS PASSED Convicted Swindler Is Sent to At- lanta for 18 Months New York, June 10.—Dr. John Grant Lyman was sentenced by Fed- eral Judge Wolverton vesterday to cighteen months in Atlanta peniten- tiary for fraudulent use of the mails. Lyman will be allowed to remain in the Tombs for thirty days to aid the receiver in bankruptcy who took charge of Liyman's financial affairs. The suggestion that he stay here to help straighten out matters for the creditors of John H. Putnam & Co., the name used by Lyman in his stock dealings, came from Lyman himself. He said he preferred to go to Atlanta at once, but “felt it his duty to stay | here, although life in the Tombs was breaking down his health and would his death if he were forced to asserted it would be sufficient com- pensation, however, to be able to pay back his creditors dollar for dollar. Assistant United States Attorney Stanton told the court he preferred to let the final decision rest with the .re- ceiver in bankruptcy, whereupon a representative of the latter replied that Lyman could be of invaluable service to the receiver if he helped to recover $35,000 which the receiver had failed to locate. When Lyman was called in for sen- tence he emerged from the strong room with one arm full of law books and memoranda. His wife, who was at his side all during the long trial, was walting just inside the court room and Lyman encircling her with his free arm, drew her gently to his side for a moment and then hurried to the bar, After making several unsuccessful motions to have the verdict against him set aside Lyman launched into a remarkable plea to be sentenced to some form of work so that he could support the members of his family, who, he said, were in destitute cir- cumstances and bound to become a public charge within a fortnight. There were tears in his eves and his the world without his consent ag likely to be made a walif.” When Lyman finishes the te: posed on him by Judge Wolver) will stili have to face the months to which he was sente: | Los Angeles for using the mj the Panama land frauds.
