the proposition to withdraw public

IN BRIBERY CASE
DEFENSE IN LEE o'NEIL BROWNE
TRIAL PRODUCES INTEREST
ING LETTERS.
WHITE ADMITS HE SOLD STORY
TO CHICAGO PAPER
FOR s3.25o.

Chicago, June 15.-The expulsion
of two spectators from the trial OF
Lee O'Neil Browne yesterday gave
emphasis to State Attorney Way
mans declaration that he will take
no chances of undue Influences reach
ing the jury.
The men removed We're Ernest Kru-
lewick, west side politician, ana
Henry Wagner The latter made au-
dible expression of his belief in the
guilt of the defendant Wayman SAID
that during the trial of Skinny
MaddaG, iatbor leader charged with ex-
tortion. Krulewich brought suspicion
upon himself by shaking hands with
Madden in front of the jury Krule-
wich was one of the politicians indiet-
ed two years ago charged with pr.
mary frauds. He was served with
subpoena to appear before the grand
jury today He declared he could
not fathom T'ayman's course.
The defense's cross-examination be-
gan an attack on the character of
White. Wishing to introduce some OF
Whites letters written to Browne,
Forrest ran against snag when the
court ruled that White must first
identity them. Whites evasiYe an
swers nettled Brownies lawyers.
Eventually two letters were identI-
fed In one, written subsequent TO
the election of Lorimer. White said:
Il have only ninety cents in the
world. If you will fill in the enclosed
promissory note for whatever money
YOU viii loan me, | would be glad
The note-made out for S50-also was
placed in evidence, Others aggregat-
.ng 500 also were introduced. Some
of the expressions used in the letters
which the defense attempted to in
troduee were:
BY the grace of God, every cent
YOU have let me have | will return
Il have my ring in pawn for few
dollars"
THE future is sure to bring sur
prises. Do not be surprised at any
thing ! may do in the future
BY the latter expression the de-
Tense will argue that White attempted
to blackmail Browne A letter writ
ten by White to Mr.. Lorimer likewise
was read. In it, White said he was
about to place his experiences as a
legislator before the public. He said
he had been offered s2.25 word for
it.
Forrest asked him ii he had submit
ted his story to certain magazines
