A bold attempt to have Thomas
Doueresn. witness of vital import
suce to the prosecution in the TREY
l.. Ford bribery case, kidnapped and
spirited cut OF the city was laid bare
yesterday afternoon in Judge Lawlor's
court Previous TO the attempt one
Of the Hdnspers had told Lonergsn
that he was preparing magazine ar
icle which would set him and his as
sociste boodIers right before the east
err public and had obtained from him
. statement TO the effect that he had
never been promised any monetary
consideration for voting for the trolley
privileges.
This statement was introduced in
court yesterday and. with Lonergsn
out OF the way until after the trial,
its effect upon the jury would have
been greatly enhanced
The first intimstion Of the plot came
from Lonergsn himself. who stated
from the witness stand that two men,
who have been Identified as Detectives
Dorlsnd and J. C. Brown, in the en-
ploy Of the United Railroads. endeav-
ored last night to persuade him to go
sutomobiIing with them down the
line" In waiting for Lonergan was the
.'Bsnso Eyed Kid" also q member OF the
United Rsiiroads detective force. who
was 70 take care Of the former super
visor until such time as the usefulness
sf the witness TO the prosecution
should have passed.
The entire scheme, which was nfpped
in the bud by Special Agent William
J. Burns. serves to iilustrate how des-
perstely the defense is pressed for a
means Of escape from impending con-
vicfion.
