Chicago. Aug. 23.-Representative
Charles A. White today admitted on
the witness stand in the Browne bril-
berry trial that he deliberately plotted
to trap Senator Lorimer and directly
contradicted the testimony given by
him at the first trial. He admitted
on cross examination that the sole
purpose Of his writing to Lorimer was
to trap him and to get something out
Of him." A sensation came when the
defense suddenly demanded and OBJ
tanned an adjournment to prove its
claim that White had been caught in

sued.

Brownies camp as White told Of his
motives for writing to Lorimer let
ters which the defense has all along
contended were written for blackmail
purposes. Stenographers were hur-
riedly sent for and the voluminous
record of the former trial was search
ed to prove the contention Of the de-
fense that White had buried himself
in a deep pit Of perjury.
White today declared that he had
written to Lorimer for the sole pur-
pose Of trapping him and betraying
him in ordsr to add to the price OF
his exposure Of the Springfield brib-
cry jack pot
That he lied in every statement to
Lorimer; that every appeal for AZ
sistance was . cunning attempt to
draw Lorimer into . trap; that he
was not in financial straits, as he tes-
tiAed to at the first trial and that he
had considerable resource while he
was attempting to market his sensa-
tional tale, were among his admis-
sions.
Attorneys Forrest, ODonnel and
Erbstein for the defense all declared
that white would be shown to be .
perjurer by the record In the former
trial.
