BROWNE TESTIfIES
IN LORIMER HEARING
Brings Name Of Speaker ST.
Ieii in the CcSa.

Representative Lee O'Neil Broy
Of Ottawa, ILL.,, was on the stand
days in the Lorimer hearing at {.
cago.
The witness said that he met Lo
mer frequently in the rooms of STCa.
er Shurtleff in the St Nicholas hcte
In Springfield. He had been canvass
ing votes among his followers and f
quently met the senator and other
members of the so-called "Lorin er-
Shurtleff crowd" to tell what progress
he was making.
Il wanted my fellows to wait to vote
for him until his election was assured,
because all the world loves winner
and no one in the world loves a loser, -
said Browne. when asked by Attorney
Austrian why he waited until May 26
to vote for Lorimer.
And is that your only reason?"
questioned the lawyer.
1T is my only reason, and it is a
good one" replied Browne
In the first days testimony Browne
admitted that he had been asked to
support Lorimer and brought in the
name of Speaker Edward Shurtleff as
the man who solicited his support. He
admitted that he had agreed to lend
his aid II assured that Lorimer could
be elected.
He produced, with perfect compos-
ure, list of thirty Democrats, includ-
ing each of those since dragged into
the bribery scandal whom he admitted
he had lined up" for Lorimer. He ad-
mitted conversations relative to Lor-
have accused him.
He said he did not send for Charles
A. White on the night on which White
claims that he was summoned to
Brownies room and offered a bribe
He said he did not pay his accus
$1,000 each il the Southern hotel in
st. Louis, that he did not pay White
$3.50 in the Briggs house in Chicago,
that he did not offer bribes to any
one. and that Wilson did not go to St
Louis to split up the Jackpot"
He said that he had Induced whom
ever he could to vote for Lorimer, but
by legitimate methods only
He said that ne went to St Louis
merely to map out his campaign for
reelection, and this despite the fact
that he had seen all of the men he
met there not two weeks before, at the
general assembly.
Absolute denial Of payment of 50 500
to State Senator D. w. Holstlaw or
any other legislator in connection with
the election of William Lorimer to
the United States senate was made by
State Senator John Broderick before
the senate investigating committee.
Broderick underwent a grilling cross
examination, but remained unshaken.
The prosecution finally dismissed him
after futile attempts to impeach his
testimony.
Speaker Edward D. Shurtleff of the
Illinois house of representatives took
the witness stand and denied that he
ever received money to be used in OBJ
tanning votes to elect Lorimer. He de-
MED that he had knowledge of bribery
of any description in, the election of
Lorimer, or ever promised patronage
to anyone voting for Lorimer.

Jackson.-The circuit judges of the
state seem to have been attending
strictly to business, judging by the no.
tifications they have sent in to the

PIANO DEALERS NOW EAGER
FOR CONVENTION.
Exhibition will be Held I'm Connection
with the Regular Event Excit-
Ing Great Interest,

Judging from the intensely active
interest being exhibited by the rank
and file of the National Association
of Piano Dealers of America, the
ninth annual convention, which Is to
he held this year in Richmond, Va,
May 1G, II and Is, VIII be the most
enthusiastic event of it's kind that
has ever drawn the music trades to-
gether. From every state in the
Union, from Canada, Cuba and Cen
tral America, have come suggestions
for making the convention success,
questions and assurances of attend
ance each communication giving evil
dence of the eagerness with which the
sessions are awaited.
The feature that has excited the
greatest interest however, Is the
Piano Exhibit that will be held in
connection with the regular meetings
This Is the first national event OF its
kind ever held in the United States
but If the avidity with which the
piano manufacturers have seized on
the opportunity of showing their
Igood may. be accepted as criterion,
it will probably be difficult for a fut-
ure exhibition to duplicate 1t. This
Is not q commercial scheme, and not
one piano exhibited VIII be for sale
Although the convention Is still about
two months distant the greater por-
tion of the floor space for the dis
play has been allotted and reserva-
tions are being made every day.
N
which will be held from May 1921 in
clusively, the social side of the event
looms up big and promising. It has
been planned to devote one evening
TO the entertainment of Richmond
and for that night the United States
Government is to send the Marine
Band of Washington to assist in the
festivities. In return, the Chamber
of Commerce of Richmond, will enter
tain all of the visiting delegates one
whole day. AS these will number be-
tween 1000 and $500, it will be seen
that the body has somewhat of q
job on its hands
Every committee of the organization
is now actively engaged in it's al,
lotted work, and so far as the con-
vention proper is concerned 1t will
undoubtedly be one of the most inter-
esting and instructive that has ever
been held, Every officer is bending
his whole energy to the work and the
preliminary organization they have
already effected is a marvel of ingen-
uity. President Il. II. Droop has for
the past six months been constantly
in communication with the state rep
resentatives and predicts a rouslng
three day session.

Defense Introduces But one
Witness.
COURT 0vERRULES A MOTION
Refuses to Direct Verdict
of the Jury. y
Arguments are I'm Progress and the
Case will Soon he In the Hands of
the Jury-News From the Common
Pleas Court.

a motion to take the case from the
jury and direct a verdict for the de-
fendant was overruled Thursday
morning by Judge Babst. in the case
of the State of Ohio against Loring
]. Smith, former secretary and gem
eral manager of the Ohio Milling and
embezZlement.
The Indictment on which Smith Is
being tried alleges that he drew a
check for $19S of the company s
funds on deposit in the Marion Saw
ings Bank and that hs directed the
money to be applied on his own ac-
count with the city National Bank. In
addition there are five other indict-
ments against Smith, each alleging
separate embeZzlements.
The testimony showed, so the de-
fense claimed i'm the motion, that
the directors OF the company, when
they took away from the treasurer
the right to have fun control of the
companys funds and by a resolu-
ton gave the control to the manager
for the purpose of simplifying the
business. failed to call a meeting of
stockholders to change the constitu-
ton and bylaws, therefore Smith
never had control and custody of the
funds. The defense therefore clai ned
that If he had no control over the
funds he could not be guilty of en-
bezzlement.
The motion was argued Wednesday
afternoon and taken under advise
ment by the court. The jury was dis
missed during the argument and did
not report again until Thursday
morning at nine o'clock. The case of
the state of Ohio was concluded
Wednesday afternoon and the motion
to direct verdict was Immediately
filed and argued,
After Judge Babst had rendered his
decision on the motion the defense
introduced but one witness, b. f..
NAPLES TO explain certain erasures on
the companys books. The defense
then closed, although l.. j. Smith, the
defendant and at least ten other wit
nesses were there expecting to testi-
fy.
At 1:25 o'clock the arguments We're
finished and Judge Daniel Babst
commenced his charge, He deliverd
an excellent address to the jury, in
structing them clearly and concisely
On the law, the manner in which they
should weigh the evidence and their
procedure in considering the case.
The jury retired to its room short
~ before two o'clock.

Mayor John G. Setter did not think
well of the motion filed by Attorney
James Eymon to the effect that Will
liam p, Fetter, defendant In the ac-
tion brought by the Rose law de-
tectives should be dismissed. The mo-
tion which was filed last Monday
morning was promptly overruled when
the mayors court went into session
Thursday morning.
The motion was to the effect that
Fetter's trial was not just, because of
the fact that he was not given the
privilege of meeting all of his wit
nesses face to face.
Mayor Setter gave Fetter the maxi
mum fine, fixing the assessment at
5000 and costs. Judgment will not be
executed until after the case is con-
sidered by the higher courts. Fetter
furnished bond of $500 for his ap-
pearance in the common pleas court.
The Fetter case is the first instance
where Attorney James Eymon has ap-
peared as council for an alleged Rose
law violator. He declared Thursday
morning that he will carry the case
to the higher courts and is quite CON
hdent that the mayors decision will
be reversed
Fetter who conducts n cigar stand
and pool room on south Main street
was brought into court as result Of
charges brought by Detectives Edward
Rist and Jack Powers.
