Chicago, May 9.-Although SEN
ator William Lorimer declares he has
mo intention of resigning, it is
thought possible that he will temper
arily relinquish his seat and demand
that the senate appoint committee
to investigate his election. This ac-
tion is predicted in political circles
here following the indictments re-
turned by the Cook county, Illinois,
grand jury, caused by the allegations
of State Representative Charles A.
White that he had been paid to vote
for Lorimer.
The grand jury at Springfield today
is investigating the Lorimer election,
beginning the second week of the
probe. Other indictments, it is inti-
mated, will be returned in Chicago.
The whole affair has caused so much
talk and notoriety, it is declared, that
Lorimer is considering asking the
hstate to begin an investigation of its
own, in order that he may be vindi-
Gated.
Washington dispatches received
here have repeatedly intimated that
Lorimer would resign. Although the
senator has refused to talk of the
charges of bribery in connection with
his election, further than to deny
them, and to declare he would not re-
sign, II is known that he has been
greatly worried over the affair, and
desired that the case be thoroughly
investigated.
Reports received from Washington
say that a number of senatorial con-
ferences have been held regarding
the Lorimer matter.
The senators, 1t is declared, have
I been considering the adVisability OF
forcing Lorimer to resign. and secure
vindication before resuming his du-
ties in the senate.
The friends Of the senator here in
innate that, as a compromise, the Chi
cago senator may retire from active
duties, pending investigation, and Sc
cure investigation by the senate as
well
There is much speculation as to
who would be named should Lorlmer
be forced out. 1t is generally be-
lieyed that Governor Deneen fayors
former Senator Hopkins, defeated for
reelection at the last legislature, on
the ground the people of Illinois nom
mated Hopkins at the primaries held
before the senatorial election. Deneen
was a staunch supporter of Hopkins,
and refused to become a candidate for
the senate himself, although urged to

he wore when he passed away.
The hands are clasped over the

guests of the Swopes at dinner pre-
ceding the typhoid epidemic in the
family, and they brought their own
water, and drank it, while the Swopes
drank the hydrant water. The state
held that this showed a plot on the
part of Hyde to make the family i'll,
so that he could poison them under
the guise of treating them.
The witness declared that she, on
her own initiative. put the drinking

Whe Davy Crockett sat in the ma

of the State of Texas, he had many
clashes with men of more education
but less wit than himself. 1t is told
of him that one day, while standing
in front of his hotel on Pennsylvania
avenue, a drove of mules trotted by
under the custody of an overseer
from one of the stock farms in Vir-
ginia. A congressman from Boston,
who was standing near by, attracted
Crockett's attention to the unusual
sight, saying:
Hello, there, Crockett; here's a
lot of your constituents on parade.
Where are they going?"
The celebrated hunter looked at
the animals with a quizzical glance,
and then turning to the other, said
quietly, but with much emphasis,

ing to say anything for publication
William Grayson, a mulatto negro
who is held as witnes against the
party or parties who killed young
Williams on the circus train Satur'
day night, made statement:
Grayson says that he was on tor
of a box car Immediately behind the
fiat on which Williams and his chum
were riding. He says that he heard
loud voices on the fat car and looked
over to see what the trouble was
There were several men in wagon
on the fat car fighting. A man
whom he does not know had Williams
down in the wagon choking him
but could not manage him alone and
called for assistance. Then, he says
John Wilson, a negro, who is in jail
here, charged with being implicated
in the crime, placed a pistol in Will
liams's face and fired.
There was a trail of blood for a
hundred yards or more from the
place where Williams was found bacl;
toward Columbia, and it was thought
that the murderer held his victim
until they reached the cut and threw
him in there to keep the body from
being found easily. Grayson says
that Wilson Immediately threw the
body out of the wagon, but that 1t
fell on the floor of the car and it was
several minutes before it was discov'
cred that it was still on the train
and that when it was found it was

Many Homeless From Flood

Louisville, Oct. almost unpre-

Ohio river valley during the past
three days, and as result the Ohio
threatens to reach a food stage in a
few days., In the past thirty-slS
hours the river at Paducah, KY, has
risen 6.3 feet and continues to rise.
At Evansville, Ind, the river was ris-
ing at the rate of three tenths of
foot an hour. The rainfall at the lat
ter point totalled eleven inches in As
hours, breaking the record in that
section for the past 40 years.
At Louisville, Owensboro and 9th
er points in Kentucky, Eevansville,
Bonneville and other points in
Southern Indiana, the rain of the
past few days has caused damage
amounting to hundreds of thousands
of dollars, it is estimated. Bridges
have been carried away, crops are to-
tally destroyed, railroad tracks wash
ed away and various other losses
have been caused.
A dispatch from Boonville, Ind,
states that 500 people are homeless
there and that the deluge has de-
stroyed more than a million dollars
worth of property in Southern Indi-
ana. Damage to bridges and roads
in six counties in Kentucky has been
placed at half a million dollars.
According to the officials of the

was one of the longest and most dam
aging in years.

PAYS PENALTY.
Negro Bunk Sherard Hanged Last
Friday at Greenville.

Greenville, Oct. 7.-The first legal
execution in Greenville in sewn years
occurred this morning in the Jail yard
when the negro, Bunk Sherrard, paid
the penalty with his life for having
murdered Special Officer Waldrop at
Piedmont two months ago.
Dead in Few Minutes.
Sherrard was pronounced dead in
IL minutes after the springing of the
trap. His body was cut down and
after being prepared for burial was
turned over to his family.
There were few spectators admit
ted to the Jail yard, only the county
officers, county physician and two
newspaper men being present. The
Sherard case has had some peculiar
sides throughout. Officer Waldrop,
the slain man, was returning with
party of officers from quelling dis
turbance at a negro church near Pied
mont, and becoming aware of a party
of gamblers in the woods near the
town they closed in on them, with the
result that the negro Sherard opened
fire, killing Waldrop almost instantly.
The negro then made his escape and
was hunted by mob for nearly two
days. When finally exhausted he sur
rendered to the sheriff.
Confessed After Conviction.
During the trial late in September.
Sherard declared his innocence, but
after being found guilty and when the
judge ordered him to stand up and
receive sentence he fel into a faint
and many people supposed he had
been literally frightened to death.
For several days Sherard was uncon-
scious and under care of a physician.
Finally he rallied and soon after SEN
tence was passed upon him he sent
for his lawyer and made confession.
