Mrs Gilpin says that her husband
paid too many attentions to Nance
Gwyn, who is known the most beau

LEGISLATOR WHO SAYS BROWNE BREED HIM SAYS STATE
 INTlMlDATED HIM.
TRUMP FOR THE DEFENSE
Much Interest Centers in the Illinois Girls Who Will Take the Witness Stand Against
 Each Other.

Chicago June 1S-Repudiating the confession made before the grand jury that he was bribed to vote for Lori mer for United States senator, Rep resentative Link played a trump card for the defense in the trial of Lee O'Neil Browne. Link charged that his confession was secured by intimida- ton. and declared that he afterward told States Attorney Wayman that it was untrue.
 Wayman called Link to the stand, but asked that he be considered a court witness.
 Link testified that when Browne asked him to vote for Lorimer he told him that he would do so, as he had promised Lorimer his support several years before. He denied that he was bribed and on cross-examination by Attorney Erbstein of the defense charged that Wayman and police off. cials "bullyragged" him into making a confession" that he sold his vote to Browne
 He swore that when he was before the grand jury he asked to be allowed to see his wife but that permission was refused, and Wayman told him he must choose between his wife and the penitenuary."
 Link Refers to "Sweating."
 Link said that his sweating" be- fore the grand jury was so severe that he broke down and cried after leaving the room.
 Much of the interest in the trial. however, centers in the story of Miss Mollie Vandeveer of East St. Louis. States Attorney Wayman announced he would put her on the stand to off set the testimony he expects will be given by Miss Katherine Wood the St Louis stenographer, to whom, the defense alleges, Representative White, the prosecuting witness, made admis- sions regarding an alleged blackmail scheme
 ''I was willing to vote for anyone in order to defeat Hopkins. I even prom ised Browne, at one time, that I would vote for Speaker Shurtleff"
 Representative Beckemeyer made this declaration after reitering his statement that he did not consider the s1,000 he says Browne paid him to be a bribe.
