Your friend Lorimer was found to be
not guilty. The courts and the senate
committee seemed to be trying every
thing else but Lorimer. The evidence
submitted both to the courts and the
senate committee would have made
n believe Lorimer was raw had he
been found guilty. Even emitting Lori
mer enough evidence was found to con-
vince the most skeptical Of the corrupt
ness of the average Illinois Legislature.
The pity of the whole thing is the low
estimate men place upon each other.
