WHITE TESTIFIES
 IN BROWNE CASE

Chicago, August 23-"I wanted to get something on Senator Lorimer, 1t was not an effort to blackmail him that I offered my manuscript for sale to him. I simply wanted to get letter from him about it."
 This testimony was given today by Representative White in the second trial of Lee O'Neil Browne, who is charged with bribing White to vote for Lorimer for senator. White wrote the senator that he had prepared 30,000-word expose of alleged graft in the Illinois legislature and that he was to be paid g a word for 1t by a magazine.
 Replying to further questions on cross examination, White said he had written to Browne asking for a loan, not that he needed the money, but he said he hoped Ito get something upon Browne |"
 The defense pronounced upon this evil dence, declaring that White had sworn
 in the first trial that he was without funds when he wrote to Browne. They brought out transcript of Whites orig inal testimony in support of the charge. The witness avowal that he had hoped to trap Senator Lorimer into making ad- missions was declared by Browne's coun- sel to show that 'the plot" was less against Browne than against Lorimer.
