BY RESTING ITS CASE
Counsel for Lee O'heiIl Browne Fails
to Call Senator lorimer to
Witness Stand.

CHICAGO, June 21.-Ths defense n
the bribery trial OF Lee O'Neil Browne
sprung big surprise shortly after
noon today by resting its case without
calling United States Senator William
Lorimer to the witness stand and
without making any attempt TO prove
that a political plot is responsible for
the charges against the defendant.
Lieut.. Gov. Oglesby whose appear
ance among the witnesses today led
to the belief that Lorimer would be
called. did not testify.
The state will open in rebuttal this
afternoon and IL is predicted that the
case will 90 To the Jury tomorrow.
The sudden change in TIC plans %
the defendant which hal number OF
witnesses in The ooIrt room. who
were not called, is believed TO be the
result OF an all-night conference OF
Brownies counsel. Certain members
OF his legal staff were eager TO call
Lorimer, Browne, Oglesby and other
leading politicians 10 testify regard
ing the alleged political plot. Their
associates, however. argued that while
such a course might be wise political
ly, IL would injure the case from a
legal standpoint. Browne himself Is
said TO have sided with the latter fac
ton when finally won its point.

CLINTON, n. j., June 21.--While

miles, wrecking the wagon TO which
they were attached.
The team was tied to a ring attach

After the animals had been stopped
IL was found that the bolt OF light
ming which had shattered the pole had
also melted the iron shoes from each
OF the mules. Otherwise they were
'uninjured
The source of the ightning bolt
that struck the pole puzzled all the
local electrical experts and meteor

At the time the pole was struck a
fierce thunderstorm was raging in the

that lightning. striking the telephone

insulated liberty pole, where the full
force of the bolt was spent.

INSANE WOMAN FIRES
BARN AND PERISHES
She Is Made Demented BY Her
Brothers illness and Eludes Her
Watchers.

CLAYTON, Mich. June 21-Rose
Kahr, demented. set fire TO the big
barn on the Kahr farm a mile and
half from the village this morning,
and burned up with the building.
The Kahr family, Germans, came to
this country about Is years ago. They
bought the farm on contract about 10
years ago and were working hard 10
pay for II. The mainstay OF the house
hold Is Ernest, a son. Besides Ernest
and Rose. a sister. there Is another
sister and the aged father and mother.
Rose was 80 years old.
Ernest has been Ill three months,
and his case is regarded as hopeless.
This misfortune preyed on the mind
OF Rose, and her mental arrangement
became pronounced within the past
few DAYS. She was being closely
watched, but was allowed TO go to the
barn TO feed the chickens. Soon after
she disappeared within the structure
smoke was seen issuing from one cor
ner. Other members OF the family
hurried out. but when they opened the
doors were confronted By wall or
flames. They could not enter, and in
a very short time the building, which
was worth aout $1,000, was leveled TO
the ground. Neighbors found the
bones OF the demented woman In the
ruins.
