MING INTO THOUSANDS.
BELoIT COLLEGE IS VICTIM
Said to Have Been MuIeted of $127 900
Money Sunk in Wall Street
Client and Partners Lose-suicide
Is Hlnted At.

Chicago.-Edward C. Ritsher. per
sonal counsel for John R. Walsh dur
ing his fight against government
prosecution and who died last June, is
accused of being a defaulter to the
extent Of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
The accusation made public Thurs
day comes upon the people of Chicago
as suddenly as did the news of the
death of John R. Walsh's favorite
counselor. The charges which attack
the good name of the dead lawyer are
many-branched and involve double
dealing with his law partners, appro-
priating fee from one Of them, en-
bezzling from Beloit college trust
funds, of which he had the custody,
and robbing Mr.. Walsh at the time
when he was the most trusted con-
1ldant in the defense of the banker.
Trustees Of Beloit college, of which
Ritsher was custodian Of securities,
and the deceased attorneys legal as
soctates decided to suffer whatever
losses they may have sustained in
silence and not to air the charges
against the noted lawyer.
Discovery of Ricsher's alleged
duplicsty was made shortly before his
death. While in New York he was
summoned to Chicago by his partners
and asked to make restitution and ex-
PLANTATION. Ritsher left New York,
making an appointment to meet his
partners in Chicago. He arrived here
two or three days before the date
of the appointment. He died sud
denly. within less than twenty-four
hours of the time set for his meeting
with his partners.
Here are some of the allegations
that are made against the dead attor-
ney:
That securities belonging to Beloit
college and valued at $127000, which
we're in Ritsher's keeping, disap-
peared. John R. Walsh came to the
rescue, giving Ritsher $4,000, which
was turned over to the college.
Ritsher then gave a note for 100000
to the college secured by 1S of his
best friends.
That, after Ritsher's law firm had
done vast amount of work on the
Walsh case, his partners asked II
some finaLcial return could not be OBJ.
tained, and Ritsher told them that
Walsh was hard up" and could not
give them any money at the time,
Walsh, however, had paid him fee
of $4,000 and an additional fee of
$50,o00, which Ritsher concealed from
his partners.
That Ritsher converted to his own
use the securities given by Mr.. Walsh
to secure the two notes Of $25,000
That Ritsher "double-crossed" his
client, John R. Walsh When arrange
ments were being made for swearing
out the writ of certiorari in the United
States Supreme court Walsh gave his
note for $25,000, and with it $4,000
worth Of securities as collateral. At
the same time he made out note for
$25, 600, payable to John S. Miller, an
other Of his attorneys, and gave
Ritsher $4,000 worth of securities for
the note which the attorney was to
turn over to Miller.

Opportunity of suffrasist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women OF
Finland came to vote. The fact Is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when q
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

White CAUSES STIR

FUND IN SENATORIAL
BRIBERY CASE.
PEORIA MAN is INVOLVED
Grand Jury Probing Perjury Charges
In Connection With Browne Trial
lndict Former Aid of States Attor-
ney-More indictments Expected.

Chicago.-A sensation was created
in the Lee O'Neil Browne trial
Wednesday when the name of Edward
Hull of Peoria was mentioned in con-
nection with an alleged request tele-
graphed from Springfield for 100000
two days before the election of Sena-
tor Lorimer.
Charles A. White, recalled by the
state in rebuttal, made the statement
concerning Hull and the 100000 fund.
White testified that the information
was given him by William Rossell, an
important witness for the defense.
He told of meeting Rossell and Of a
conversation they had in which White
asked Rossell where the money came
from that is alleged to have been
used to bribe Legislators to vote for
Lorimer.
"Rossell told me-" testified White,
that while in Springfield he had
heard of a telegram being sent to
Edward Hull of Peoria two days De'
fore the election of Senator Lorimer
requesting Hull to start at once for
Springfield with 100000"
Attorneys for the defense started
from their chairs at these words and
a commotion in court followed
Patrick J. Keeley, suspended detec-
tive, former aid who turned against
States Attorney Wayman, was in
dicted on a charge of perjury by the
special grand Jury called by the
prosecutor to investigate perjury
charges in the Browne case.
Rumors were rife that before the
case of Browne could go to the jury
half a dozen more indictments, involv-
ing persons closely connected with
the trial would be voted. The indict-
ment of Keeley came Just as the
Browne defense had closed its case.
After Browne closed his defense
States Attorney Wayman attacked his
case. Residents of East st. Louis
were placed on the stand before Judge
Kersten to impeach the testimony
given by George Gloss, a motorman,
who was one of the most important
witnesses for the defense. The
states witnesses swore they would
not believe Gloss under oath.
A fist fight between States Attor-
ney Wayman and Attorney Erbstein
was narrowly averted in the trial.
The states attorney was called a
trickster by the attorney for the de-
fense. He retorted hotly.
In a moment Attorneys ODonnell
and Forrest were on their feet to sup
port their colleague, while the states
attorneys force joined in the hub

$120, 1000 was spent in employing ad-

OF the fire-killed timber is still merch-
