HE TU[O IF BRIBERY
STATE SENATOR HoLTsLAw OF ILLINOIS WAS PAID TO VOTE
 FOR LoRlMER.
CONFESSED TO THE GRAND JURY
Holstlaw Declared He Was Given s<'ooo for His Support by State sena. tor Frederick of chicaao-AIso Go, Share of "Jack Pot"

springfield, H., May 31.-Almost at tue same moment that Senator Lori. mer was telling the United States senate. with impassioned vehemence. that no man had ever received a dollar Tor voting for him, the Sangamon county grand jury was hearing the story or man who said he had re- ceived $2,500 for his vote for Lorimer for senator
 The man who made the confession was D. w. Holstlaw of Iuka. He is a democratic state senator from the Forty-second district.
 Holstlaw was the fourth man to con- i less that bribery was resorted to to make William Lorimer, the "Blond Doss,' United States senator. None mas said that he was bribed by Lori mer
 Holstlaw's Confession.
 n his confession Holstlaw embodied the following:
 He voted for William Lorimer for united States senator because he was offered $2,500 for his vote by State Senator John Frederick of Chicago.
 That he was paid s2,5OO promised him by Senator Frederick at the sa- loon of Senator Frederick in Chicago.
 That he was later paid $7OO jack pot' money by Senator Frederick at the saloon of the latter in Chicago.
 That he voted with Senator Stanton C. Pemberton and Representative Josh 5. Clark to award the contract for leg islative furniture to the highest bidder because he was promised s1,5OO for his share in the graft.
 That A. R. Johnston and Otto M Freir, the salesman for the desk com pany, who had sworn to their ignor- hnce before the grand jury, were the men who made the deal and who were to see him paid when the contract was executed by the delivery of the furnr ture this summer.
 corroborated by Another.
 Senator Holstlaws confession re- garding the furniture deal was corro- borated before the grand jury by Otto Rreir. who as agent for the Ford-Johnson Furniture company of Chicago. obtained the furniture con tract.
 Although an indictment charging conspiracy was returned against Sen. ntor Holstlay, it was immediately noll- ad and immunity for Holstlaw, was or iercd by Judge James A. Creighton up on the recommendation of States At. tcrney Burke
 Get Immunity Bath Ready. States Attorney Burke believes the confession of Senator Holstlaw and the other evidence before the grand jury opens several new avenues for in. yestigation which probably will in volve several members of both the house and senate, and he would net be surprised to have number of ap. plications for immunity bath tickets.
 Three big gates to the field of cor euption are thrown open. 1.-The Jack pot. 2-Furniture deal 3.-Payment of money for votes in senatorial contest
 States Attorney Burke says he is satisfied the ramification of corruption In all these various lines will make Springfield the mecca of legislators tor some time to come.

MAHU'S MURDERER
ACCORDED MERCY
Killer Gets Life Imprisonment
for Deliberate, Cold
Biooded Crime.

Anderson Grace. the murderer of
Waterman Mahu. must spend the re
mainder Of his life behind the cold
walls of a prison; he must, for all the
days of his worthless life that are left,
wear the badge of the criminal, the
stripes of involuntary servitude, the
insignia of shame. Judge Robertson
yesterday sentenced him to imprison-
ment for life.
1t is not improbable TT in most
other courts Grace would have been
sentenced TO be hanged by the neck
until he was dead. for, by his 0wn con
fession. the murder was cold-booded
and premed +atad He enticed his vie
tim into q secluded spot and there slew
him. first Knocking his brains out with
a club and then shooting him as he lay
helpless on the ground. The poor wretch
did not even have a chance to fight
for his life,
Vet t3race's plea of murder in the
second degree was accepted by dlrec-
ton Of the department Of justice. That
Judge Robertson was not at all inclined
10 accept it was evident from his words
to the murderer when he told him that
his crime should by rights be punished
with the punishment reserved only for
murder in the first degree.
And vet. Grace had the effronterv to
plead for the mercy which he did not
accord his victim. He tried the old,
threadhare plea that he was a wronged
man. that his victim had acted i'm
properly toward the Hawaiian woman
