LETTER PROVES CREAGER IS
A CORPORATION CANDIDATE

Tulsa, Okla, Oct. 91-That the cor
porations are directly interested in the
election of Charles E. Creager, repub-
liean congressional candidate, was
proven today when a letter addressed
to Mr. Cony Gibson, of Boynton, was
sent into democratic congressional
headquarters here. The letter was
written by H. F. DeLozier, live stock
agent of the st. Louis & San Francisco
Railway company, and it urged for
various reasons that Mr.. Gibson sup
port Mr., Creager at the polls Novem-
ber Sth.
Mr.. DeLozier's letter is added proof
to the democratic congressional cam
paign committee that Mr.. Creager is
getting aid from the corporations of
his district, and that the men high up
in railroad circles are lending every
energy to defeat Hon. James S. Dav-
export, the democratic candidate, who
more thoroughly represents the peo-
pie, and is opposed to corporations
and trust control in his district, and in
the United States.
For each of the hundreds of men
employed by the railroads to make
personal appeal to business associates
and personal friends in behalf of Con-
gresham Creager, will be the means
Of making votes for him that might
possibly belong to the democratic
candidate. To offset this, loyal demo
Gratis and republicans over the district
are more active than ever in Mr., Dav-
enport's behalf, and good reports are
coming from every one of the coun-
ties in the district.

MORE EVIDENCE
IN BRIBERY CASE
Confessions of Two Men Throw More
Light on the Jury Fixing In Lee
o'Neil Browne Case.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 31.-Diseovery of
several new sources of information
Sunday resulted in the uncovering of a
mass of corruption and bribery that
attended the acquitting of Lee O'Neil
Browne of the charge of bribing legis-
lators to vote for William Lorimer for
United States senator.
1t is shown that a majority of the
twelve men who voted to discharge
the democratic minority leader charg-
ed with handling the purse string in
the campaign to buy votes for Lorimer
had been guests at great jollification
and banquet that concluded with a
tour of various places of amusement
at a late hour of the night.
SO secure did the participants in
this affair feel that they held the wine
dinner and rounding up" in less than
a week after the verdict was returned
in court In this little function, Attor-
ney Charles Erbstein, one of the trio
OF lawyers who represented Browne
and who now is charged with having
fixed at least one juror, is declared
to have played an important part
But even in the face of this open
jollification evidence of the use of
money in the handling of the case
might not have reached the states at
torney's Office but for the fact that
the two men who already have con-
fessed-Juror Grant McCutchen and
Harry T. Stacy, chauffer, were dis
satisfied with the amount paid them
and believed they were being double
crossed"
McCutehen, the Juror, and Stacy, the
man who discovered" him and admits
that he fixed him under direction of
Attorney Erbstein, says that they ex-
pected more than the meager 1925
paid them, as well as jobs. In this
connection the name of Representative
Frederick Erickson, who was supposed
to be in possession of political pull and
the ability to get jobs, is brought in
by the two men.
At any rate, their jobs were not
forthcoming, and, according to their
stories, they got but the $125 and
nothing like the large amount of money
they expected for Swinging" such a
deal.
But the most significant fact of the
new series Of revelations concerning
the jury-fixing scandal is the apparent
one that more jurors than McCutchen
was reached While nobody con-
nected with Mr., .Wayman's office would
discuss the developments of the case
today, it was generally admitted that
McCutchen retiring and timid of nature
and diminutive of stature, to have In
fluenced the other eleven men to ac-
quit Browne in the face Of the confess
sions of bribery that were part of
the evidence against him.
Then came the investigation of other
jurors that led up to the discovery of
the champagne dinner and general jol-
LITIGATION. Futher evidence was un-
covered that is declared may result in
other indictments to be finally voted
on tomorrow
One of the most important features
of Stacy's confession consists of his
story that his dealings were directly
with Attorney Erbstein.
