it is the present Imperative duty of the

The president said the United States

Will Orpet is on trial here, threatened j

to commit suicide if it proved true mat

Orpet had transferred his affections

to another.

The school girl witness, called by the

state, continued to testify for the de

fence. She completely repudiated pre

vious stories of the cheerfulness of Ma

rian, her chum, and told of spells of

depression over fear that she was in

a delicate condition and later, when

this fear became less acute after Jan

uary IS, over the reported defection of

Orpet, a student at the University or

Wisconsin was engaged to marry Ce

leste Youker. according to the witness.

" I wonder why she told me that.'

Marian said to me," related Miss Davis.

"Maybe it was just to make me feel

bad.'

"So we framed up a letter to Orpet.

but as no reply -was received, Marian

began to think that Miss Mason had

told the truth. It was on February 6

when Marian had her 18th anniversary

party that she threatened to kill her

self. "Honest, if Billie has thrown me

over, I'll kill myself.' she told me.

"I laughed at her Just to try to get

her out of the mood and then she

laughed too. I said, 'You won't let me

tell everything to your mother now:

hall I tell what I know after death T

She laughed and said, -well, I guess

not. There will be gossip anyway and

we might as well give them something

to gossip about.' "
