In a conference between Attorney Gen
eral Stead and States Attorney Way
man. The conference, to attend which
the attorney general came from
Springfield, followed the conclusion of
the days session of the grand jury and
lasted several hours.
Representative H. l.. Wheelan, a
Democrat, who voted for William LOr-
inner for senator, was before the grand
jury nearly all afternoon and will be
questioned again tomorrow.
State Senator John Broderick, Dem
ocrat, was called to the criminal court
building as a witness in the investiga-
ton, but did not go before the jury.
Representatives William Murphy.
James j. O'Toole and Charles NaylOr,
all Democrats of Chicago, were wit
nesses. They said they had not voted
for Lorimer and knew nothing of any
bribery of Legislators.
J. Henley, former vice president OF
the Chicago and Western Indiana Rail
road Company, is here, prepared 10
furnish $4,000 bond to answer the
charge of e~mbezzlement returned here
last week.
Mr.. Henley spent the greater part OF
the day before going into court in con-
sultation with his attorney, Clarence
S. barrow. The charge against the
former railroad man grows out of the
allegation made by John c. F'etzer
that huge sums were spent three years
ago to influence legislation in which
Chicago n Western Indiana railroad
