 nation for One Day
MANY WITNESSES ARE
 HEARD BY COMMITTEE
for Sidney Marlborough as Against the Testimony of Rep
 resentatiye White

Chicago, October 3.-State Senator John Frederick, who is directly &C., cused by his colleague, Senator D. w. Holstlaw of Iuka, of paying him $2500, which he (Holstlaw) supposed was for his vote for Senator Lorimer, was called as a witness today before the Lorimer Investigating committee. He did not testify because his counsel, Attorney Thomas Dawson. asked that the examination be confined to the main question of his client having prom ised or paid bribe to Holstlaw or any other persons and that he be not ques- toned specifically concerning the time and place of the alleged payment of the money to Holstlaw.
 The committee, after considering the request in executive session, announced that it could not entertain the pro- priety of examining the witness with cross examination suspended.
 Direct and ss-examination must proceed if the witness testifies until the interposltion of some objection to specific question:" said Chairman Bur rows. Therefore the committee asks that the witness be withdrawn at this time and after further consideration the matter will be determined tomor- row morning."
 Before making his request to limit the examination Attorney Dawson said that Broderick was ready and willing to testify on any and all points con nected with the investigation but that he and associate counsel for the &C., cused state senator who is under in- dictment in Sangamon county for brib- cry of Holstlaw were convinced that to allow cross examination on the ques- tion of time and place and the attend- ant circumstance in the alleged pay ment of the bribe to Holstlaw would be prejudicial to Senator Broderick.s B case.
 Attorney on stand
 Attorney Dawson was called to the stand and testified at some length con- corning the whereabouts of his client since his return from Springfield last week
 Dawson insisted that he did not meet Frederick until last Saturday and that Saturday afternoon he communicated with the sergeant-at- arms of the com mittee and told him that Frederick would appear to testify this morning.
 A number of impeaching witnesses were called by the defense to disprove statements made by Representative Charles A. White, the first witness to testify against Lormer.
 1t Is said that Minority Leader Lee O'Neil Browne will appear before the committee tomorrow and the ruling to be announced on the Frederick request will probably be extended to his case should he make similar petition to limit the scope of his examination. Counsel for Frederick declared that his client. after his trial, which he said would probably be early in November. would be willing and ready to appear before the committee and answer any
