WAYnAN'S LAST WORDS
Caused Crowd to litter When He
Said White Was Black, But
Browne Was Biacker--
Also Scored Link

Chicago, June 2i.Tha case of Lee
O'Neil Browne, charged with bribery
in connection with the election of
Senator Lorimer, went to the jury
this afternon.
Judge McSurley in his charge said
that to find Browne guilty the eyi.
dence must establish beyond doubt
the following propositions;
First. whether on June lG. Browne

Briggs house at Chicago, the sum or
$3.50.
Second that the said sum was Civ
EN- White in consideration of having
voted for Lori,ner pursuant to cor
rupt agreement thereinto fore,enter.
ed into between Browne ana White,
and by which White agreed to vote
and Browne agreed to pay him.
AS the testimony of Represents
tlyes Beekemeyer and Link, who CON
ressed receiving $1,000 each for vot.
ing for Lorimer, the Judge said:
The purpose Of admitting this tes.
timony was so1ely to determine
whether there existed any motive on
the part of Browne that might lead
' his paying White $3.50 or for de.
termining the intent with which
Browne mignt have paid White the
sum; or for determining whether
there existed scheme, design or
plan on the part of Browne to accom-.
plsh certain purposes--that purpose
being tAa payment of money to
White in connection with that
scheme. design or plan"
In this connection only was the
Jury to consider the evidence of
Teekemeyer and Link. The court
put in this category also the testI-
mony of Representative Myers, who
said that he was told inaI for those
who voted for Lorimer there were
plenty of state jobs and plenty OF the
ready necessary"
States Attorney Wayman in clos
ing for the state declared That the
defense had admitted to answer three
confessions by an attack on him per-
sonally, and other things generally.

Cntly By Wayman. He referred to
Link, who is Of geat avordupols, as
that "martyred muskellung from
Mitchell, Madison county, on the Mis-
sissippi" This was in reply to Links
allegation that his confession nad

trouble was that he treated Link TOO
gentlygently as It was He said:
