Springfield, Ill-State Senator D.

urday afternoon and confessed before
the grand jury of accepting $4,000 in
brides in the last session of the legis

eleven state senators and Republicans
will quickly follow the same path.
Holstaw said that he was given $4,000
to vote for William Lorimer for sena-
tor by Senator John Frederick of Chi
cago, who is powerful West Side
politician.
The confession Of the Lorimer briba
was made more dramatic and strik
ing by the fact that almost at the
same hour Senator Lorimer was pro.
claiming himself to be innocent in
statement before the upper house.
Holstlaw, pale, trembling and ner.
vous, admitted to newspaper men af.
ter he left the jury room that he had
confessed and named the Chicago sen.
ator and several other legislators as
sharing the corruption.
The following, it is reported, were

senator, $4,000; from the general cor
ruption Jackpot 1,500; from the
