sand Dollars from Lee 0'Neil
Brown Cross Examined.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE direct evidence
Of the state against Lee O'Neil Browne,
charged with buying legislative votes for
United States Senator Lorimer, may be
completed by tonight. Representative Beck
meyer, who admitted receiving 1000 after
voting for Lorimer, finished his testimony
today and Representative Michael Link,
whose story was expected to be analogous
to that Of Beckmeyer, was called to the
stand.
Beckmeyer was cross-examined by At
torney O'Donnell. He said that day or
two before the election of Lorimer the gen.
eral talk about the Legislature was that
there was something in it," for those who
voted for Lorimer. He said that to friends
he had referred to the money received
from Browne as a reward, not as a bribe.
What did Browne say to you the day
before Lorimer was elected?' asked States
Attorney Wayman.
Browne said: "'You cannot afford to
quit the bunch now. Stay with us ,"
Attorney Forrest Of the defense brought
out that Beckmeyer had told g. N. Welch,
q friend, that he would vote for any one
to defeat Senator Hopkins.
At one stage of the balloting he had
promised to vote for Speaker Shurtleff.
Link is a farmer, 81 year old, He de-
clared that he voted for Lorimer because
he liked Lorimer's position on the deep
water project, and because Lorimer per-
sonally asked for his vote. He was prom
ised no reward, but later was given $1,000,
he said, by Browne In the Southern hotel
In st. Louis.
Miss Mollie Vandever OF East st. Louis,

was the photographer for Representative

the flour, He said the nitrltes would tend
10 delay digestion and that some OF the
bread would not be dlgested at all. On

water contain nitrites and that person
would inevitably take nitrltes into his

bleached flour as his saliva would contain
nitrites.

nitrltes by an individual would make him
