CASE TONIGHT

Chicago, June 1.-THE direct evil
dence of the state against Lee O'Nein
Browne, charged with buying legisla-
tive votes for Senator Lariiner may be
completed by tonight. Representative
Brekemeyer, who admitted he received
$1,000 after voting for Lorimer, finished
his testimony shortly after court
opened today. and Representative Mi
chael S, Link, whose story was ex-
pected to be closely analogous to that
of Brekemeyer, was called to the stand
over the objections Of the defense.
Brekmeyer was cross examined by
Atty. p. II. O'Donnell. He said that
day or two before the election Of
Lorimer. the general talk about the
legislature was there was something
in it for those who held for Lorimer.
He said that to friends, he had referred
to the money received from Browne as
reward, not as bride but today it is
expected Representative Wilson will
appear before Judge Kersten to plead
to the indictment charging him with
perjury in denying that he distributed
legislative Jackpot at st. Louis.
