Another Legislator Says
He Was Offered Bio Bride

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, April DEMONSTRATION OF
the biggest legislative bribery scandal in
the history of Illinois. which threat

begun today by States Attorney Way
man.
Representative Charles A. White. who
charges that he was paid $1,000 by Lee
| O'Neil Browne to vote for William Lor-
inner for United States senator, was sum-
moned before the states attorney.
Representative Jacob Groves of Adams
| county added weight to the charges. In
an interview in Quincy, Ills, he was
quoted as saying that he was offered
money to vote for Lorimer. and that he
| had heard of members getting s., 900 for
their votes.
100000 to Elect Senator.
1t was said that additional evidence
was in Mr.. Wayman's hands, including
an allegation that it cost 5000 600 to
elect Lorimer to the Senate, of which
ringeaders got $4,000 and individual
members Of the legislature the remainder.
From Sangamon county came news that
States Attorney Burke OF Springfield had
announced that he would investigate
Whites charges. II he believed that they
could be proved they would summon
White and Browne before a Sangamon
county grand jury to answer the charges
that $1,000 bride money was passed in
that county.
Senator Lorimer in his home at Pistakee
bay. made a statement denying every
word of Whites confession. which was
printed in the Tribune. He declared that
politics was back OF the charges and
there was no foundation for them.
Blackmailer, Says Browne.
in the day from Ottawa, made a state:
ment declaring that White was a black
mailer who had written him several
threatening letters.
Grand jury investigations in Cook and
Sangamon counties will follow. The
charges may find their way to the United
States Senate. where William Lorimer
may have to defend an attack on his
right to his seat.

occasion to use once before In his pres

ished when j get into the presence of

will all recognize to be a truthful state

who tried to get by the colored porter at
the door of the Supreme Court. He insist

citizen to enter into the presence of that
august tribunal which. after all, was the
peoples court. But the colored gentle

of that organization dere amt no appeal

Secretary Giblin of the Legislature
told me that this White came TO him
once and suggested that the secretary

with a gun, and White displayed a re-

II understood that these charges
were to be made. About three weeks
ago friend of mine came to me and
told me that some one was circulating
stories about me, to the effect that |
had been going around handing out
money. I was unable to trace the re-
ports to their sources. however.
White declares that 1 handed him
5000 after he had come to st. Louis in
response to a telegram from me. In the
first place, never sent White a tee-
gram. 1 barely know him by sight, and
l never gave him 500 or any part of

Roger Sullivan. dominant figure in
Illinois democracy. Who was in Joliet to-
day, characterized as nonsense, the story
Of White. that Lee O'Neil Browne, demo-
cratic minority leader, had purchased
votes for Lorimer.
Sullivan said that Browne himself was
a candidate for senator, and any attempt
to connect him with active campaigning
for Lorimer was incredible.
1t makes me laugh declared Sulli-
van.
The Tribune story. he explained. was
the first intimation he had ever received
Of bribery charges.
Il am not personally acquainted with
White he said. This man White has
admitted telling untruths part of the
time. The question now is whether he
would not tell them all the time. And
If he tells them part of the time when
are we to believe him?
II think you will find the democratic
party is entirely innocent of any con-
nectiOn with the bribery that may have
been attempted or done. So far as I
know there was no money paid for
votes for Lorimer The party believed
it was working for it's own best inter-
ests when 1t voted for him."
