J. M. DoESBURG PLEADS GUILTY
IN MILWAUKEE
WILL TESTIFY FOR STATE
District Attorney McGovern::. Tells
Court That Confessed Agent in
Vote-buying Business Will Be a
Witness Against Officials Indicted
as Grafters.

Mi waukee, Nov. 244 Marion
Doesburg of the Johnson Service
company pleaded guilty before Judge
Tarrant yesterday to an. Indictment
charging him with offering a bride
of $1,000 to ex-Supervisor Edward F..
Strauss, and was fined $1,000 and
costs. ="
The amount of the fine and costs,
81, G0445, was Immediately paid. Does
burg filing out a blank. check made
payable to his order by the Johnson
Service company and signed by.W. S..
Johnson, treasurer. The check, after
being endorsed by Doesburg and his
attorney, w. j. Turner, was accepted
by Clerk of Courts A A. Weber and
Doesburg was released from custody.
The plea of guilty and the state
ment in open court by District Attor-
ney McGovern that Doesburg will be-
come a witness for the state on the
trial of supervisors indicted for the
county hospital deals was significant
as indicating growing desire on the
part of those indicted for bribery to
get under cover as soon as possible.
The proceedings in court were
brief. After the adjournment of the
Murphy case, District Attorney Nc.
Govern appraised Judge Tarrant that
Doesburg was in court to change his
plea of not guilty to the Indictment
brought against him in 1904
Doesburg, who had been sitting in
the rear row of spectators seats
since before the opening of court,
came forward at this and took a seat
beside his counsel w j. Turner, who
Immediately arose and addressed the

Story of the Crime.

I'm the case of the state against j.
Marion Doesburg, Mr.. Doesburg is
here in court, and we desire to with
draw the pea Of not guilty and enter
plea of guilty." said Mr. Turner.
"The indictment against Mr.. Does
burg charges that on the 18th day of
June, 1902, there was pending before
the county board of supervisors an
application for contract to install
heat controlling appliances in the
county hospital and that the corpora
ton known as the Johnson Service
company of this city had a bid in for
the work; that the matter was pend
ing before the county board and that
Edward F. Strauss was at that time a
supervisor; that through one Letter,
Mr.. Doesburg offered to Strauss. the
sum of 1,500 for his influence and
vote in favor of letting the contract
without reference to the merits of
the matter and without reference to
the question of whether or not this
transaction occurred exactly as stated
careful consideration, and upon the
advice of his counsel and his friends
has made a statement to the district
attorney and decided to enter a plea
of guilty.
"It is very serious thing to Mr.
Doesburg, and it was after a great
deal of thought and sorrow on his
part that he concluded to enter this
plea.
"The facts with reference to condi-
,tions as they existed in this cOmmun-
.ity at that time were that business
houses seeking any business with
the county or city of Milwaukee were
unable to get a respectful hearing un-
less some arrangement was made
with those in office, whereby compen-
sation would be paid"

the order was signed.
