Student’s Lawyers to Attempt to Have Judge Take Case From Jury. Marguerite Mooers Marshall. (Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) _ WAUKBGAN, Ill, May 28—That State's Attorney Dady attempted to Procure through Celeste Youker a . written confes- sion that Will Or- pet killed Marian Lambert, was learned to-day from an appar- ently reliable source, It is as- serted that Dady told Miss Youker that he would keep her WADREDTEMMARHALL Jove letters to Or- pet out of the student's trial if she would write another letter to Orpet begging him to confess his guilt. Miss Youker did this, according to the story current in the court room to-day, and received from the pris- And I wanted one the worst way.

And just as one still finds here such ples and doughnuts as they serve on farmhouse dinner tables from East- port, Me., to Cape Cod, so one dis- cerns the survival of the spirit of Plymouth Rock—heroic in certain manifestations, but grim, punitive and more than a little hypocritical in others.
