CHICAGO, H.. Oct. 4.-The naming
three more legislators for whose
ctes hackers of Senator Lorimer are
sclared to have bargained furnished
Il sensation of the senatorial kribe
,yestigation and opened up a new
me Of inquiry among the republican
nsmbers OF the Forty-sixth general
sembly.
The most significant feature of this
new evidence was the fact that re-
rublcan legislator is declared to have
aried the Lorimer money bags and
ought to purchase votes for the blond
senator
The three legislators who We're
h,mad-men who are declared to
have refused to sell their votes are:
Daniel D. Donahue, democrat
Bloomington, lawyer.
Homer Z. Shaw, democrat, Bement,
anker
Henry Terrill, republican, Colches-
teE, merchant.
The new names were given the SEN
sorial Investigating committee by
Representative Jacob Groves, the
grayhaired farmer from Camp Point,
who told of midnight visit to his
room at the st. Nicholas Hotel and
an attempt to influence his vote for
Lorimer. But, like the other three
men he named, Mr.. Groves refused to
be influenced and refused to give him
assistance to the bipartisan scheme
tsat landed William Lorimer in the
senate.
Just before this series OF surprises
State Senator John Broderick, the
vest side saloon keeper whose where
aoouts had been a mystery for sey.
eral days. appeared before the com,
mlttee and under instructions of his
lawyer, refused to testify except con
dltionally. The condition imposed
was that he should not be cross ex
amlned on subjects placed under the
ban by his lawyer.
But the committee Immediately re
used to hear any such plan and per
mltted him to depart for the day
ials morning he will be called to ths
witness stand and ordered to tell ev
efything he knows about the briber,
scandal in which he has been i'm
pacatec b. the confession of Stat,
Attorney Holtslaw some weeks ago
IN the event that he persists in hi
refusal the state senator will be TAX
ea before a federal Judge and com
pelied to show cause why he shoul,
ao' l answer all questions thus put b
him.
