other witness during the taking of teS-
timony in support of the motion for a
change of venue. He was followed by
c I. Pierce, a clerk at the FARRELL

Leech Shows Little Interest.
Leech seemed to have lost the nerv-
BUSINESS which was so noticeable at the
morning session, and, during the after
noon he sat between his attorneys ano
watched the proceedings with a slug
giSh sort of interest. He made no Sug-
gestions to his attorneys during the
hearing of the evidence. He watched
the court stenograpner, kept his eyes on
the reporters desk a part of the time
and the remainder of the time sat in
the same position as he occupied at the
morning session partially facing tke
witness and partially with his face to-
ward the jury box. When the court was
adjourned for the day and the shackles
had been applied to his wrists, Leech
spied newsboy at the foot of the stairs
and, reaching his manacled hand into
his pocket, he bought a Herald and
took it to the county jail with him to
read the account of the first days pro-
ceedings in his life battle
The crowd in the court room when
the afternoon session began was even
larger than that of the morning.

JURY OUT IN THE
BROWNE BRIBERY CASE

Chicago, Ill, June 25.-It has been
many years since an Illinois jury has
been called upon to consider a verdict
of greater political importance than the
one which yesterday afternoon retired
to consider the charge of bribery against
Lee O'Nelll Browne, leader of the Demo-
cratic minority Of the Illinois house of
representatives.
In instructing the jury, judge Nc
Surely said that the uncorroborated tes-
timony of an accOmplice might be con-
sldered but it should be received with
great caution. Should the jury be-
lieve that any of the states witnesses
testified because of promises of i'm
munity from prosecution, this should
enter into the consideration of the case
To find Browne guilty the court said,
the evidence must establish beyond
reasonable doubt that on June Is, 1909,
Browne gave representative White in
the Briggs house at Chicago, the sum of
$3.50 in consideration of having voted
for William Lorimer, pursuant TO a cor
rupt agreement.
