Conviction of Lehman, Rich Citizen,
Marks Another Triumph For Folk.

Conviction of Lehman, a Rich Citizen,
Marks Another Triumph For Folk.
st. Louis. Mo.-In fourteen minutes
the jury which tried julius Lehman,
e1-member of the House Of Delegates,
for bribery in connection with the pas.
sage of the City Lighting bill. found
him guilty and fixed the punishment at
seven years.
1t was another signal triumph for At.
torney Joseph W. Folk. He presented
the case against Lehman in a twenty
minutes talk to the jury. He summed
up the evidence to the effect that Leh-
mann distributed the S47,5OO Doodle
used in the lighting steal. and asked
the jury to give the defendant the max.
imum penalty.
The S47,500. it will be remembered,
was distributed ut an alleged "birth.
day" party at Lehmann's house, and
was accompanied by shameless quibs
and jeSts on the part of the boodling
members of the combine which shared
in the rake-off.
Lehman seemed 10 be greatly crest
fallen by the verdict.
Soon after the verdict had been re-
turned Lehman gave bond in the sum
Of $4,000, and his attorneys gave no.
