unre * OR? UNDER STRAIN OF DRAGGING TRIAL Task of Finding Jury Almost Hopeless, and Case May Last Till August. YOUTH LOSING NERVE. Steady Line of Talesmen Ex- cused for “Fixed Opinion” Is Torture to Him. Marguerite Mooers Marshell. jecial Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WAUKEGAN, IIl., May 25.—-At the opening of court this morning the selection of a jury to try William H. Orpet for the murder of Ma- rian Lambert seemed almost hopeless. Three days of the sec- ond week of the trial has brought to the jury box only one man, tentatively ac - cepted by both sides, but almost sure to be chal- lenged by the prosecution, since he has expressed a disbelief in capital punishment and a dislike for cir- cumstantial evidence. Attorney Ralph Potter for the defense has predicted in open court that “we shall be here (WADILEDITE M MARSHALL t phot mPsanent phot 16 studios mw hotog ri Also made. { | PHOTOSs Standan!

His cheeks were white when the trial began a week and a half ago. Now they have the unhealthy green- ish pallor of grass Blades pressed un- der a stone, In his temples the blue veins stand out, and there are deepiy | pencilled lines from his nostrils to the corners of his mouth. His face has grown thinner, there afte shadowy hollows beneath his eyes where the Jawbone ends at the lobe of tho ear. ‘There {1s less color in his lips and his mouth has a pinched look. His manner shows how he is feeling the tension, ery day he is more nervous, Tho first day I watched him-—the second day of the trial—it seemed to me that his composure nothing short of marvellous. He sat like @ statue, bis hands in his lap, his shoulders square and straight, his face without a trance of emotion, a mask of unwinking rigidity. CROUCHES NERVOUSLY IN HIS CHAIR—FACE SHOWS STRAIN. Now he slouches, crouches, in his chair, He pushes himself down so r that, although he ix of more than average height, and the chair back is its top comes close to his coat His chest is hollowed; one hand is thrust into his pocket or hangs limply over the arm of the chair, her hand, for almost every is shielding some portion of his face, Sometimes the fingers, the manicured finge re placed loosely his mouth. Sometimes they pil- low one cheek, or are pressed against his temple. Sometimes he shades those Inscrutable violet eyes, as if even the were too strong a contrast to the dim. mer light of his cell in the county jail. And sometimes at least half his fa is hidden by those long, prehensile fingers. He rarely keeps them in any position for more than a few minutes. For he fidgets these days, He mov head from side to side restlessness or pain, His shoulders twist in almost imperceptible shud Now and then he draws a long, long, slim, ¢ his At first, after the morning kiss, his mother rarely spoke to him. Now she is continually bending toward him, whispering some message of encour- agement; searching his face with ap- so like his own in in color, for the smile that rewards her search Will Orpet has had much to endure prehensive eyes, story that Celeste Youker, the De | Cloth and Silk you'd prefer ur Navy Blue Sui Day, at these u ductions, no mi sults you have Piain Tatlored ar We 1 BE CURIO!
