Springfield, ILL.,, May, 28.-State
Senator John Broderick, a leading
Democrat of Chicago, was today in
dicted as a result of the confession
of State Senator D. w. Holtzlaw, who
says Broderick paid him twenty-five
hundred dollars to vote for United
States Senator Lorimer.
The admission and arrest came like
i the bursting of a bomb after Lori
mer's speech of vindication at Wash
ington today. Lorimer, in his con-
gressional speech, denied the bribery
charges and holds that Governor
Deneen and the Chicago Tribune are
responsible for the fight against him.
Senator Holtzlaw, whose startling
confession was made today, is one
of the most prominent members of
the senate. He has taken an active
part in the proceedings of the upper
branch and is wellknown throughout
The state. He is director in sever
al banks. The first confession by
Representative Charles A. White,
who declared he had received one
: thousand dollars from Lee ONeiI
Browne for his vote for Lorimer, and
his share legislative in the "jack
pot" has been followed by sartling
revelations, although White was stig.
matized as blackmailer by the men
whom he involved. Whites confes-
sion, sHbstantiated by Representa-
tive VI. j. G. Beckmayer, has resulted
in the indictment of the following
parties:
Lee O'Neil Browne, leader of the
Democrats in the legislature; Rep.
resentative Mitchell s. Link. Demo
crat, charged with perjury, who fol
lowing an offer of immunity, made
NE third confession and the indict-
nlent against him was mol pressed.
