Gives Careful Analysis in Senate
Today Of Testimony Taken
by the Investigating
Committee
COUNTRY HAS BtEN DISGRACtD
Declares illinois Man Holds Seat as
Result of Bribery and Takes
View Adverse to Findings Of
investi gators.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 3.-That
Senator Lorimer holds his seat as a
result of bribery, and on that account
should not be permitted to continue
in the senate, is the conclusion reach
ed by Senator Root, and announced
by him in an argument on the floor
of the senate today.
Root spoke without notes and in
the main his address consisted of a
careful analysis of the testimony TAX
en- by the committee. The argument
was almost entirely legal.
The speaker lost little time in in
dicating the conclusion he had reach
ed, which was entirely antagonistic
to Lorimer. He took the position that
the investigation committee had been
at fault in permitting either the attor-
ney for Lorimer or the attorney for
course i'm the matter of connecting
Lorimer with the corruption OF MEM
i5ers of the Illinois Legislature, but
agreed that even in the face of its
fault in this respect, the committee
had obtained sufficient evidence effect
ually to taint and invalidate the elec-
ton.
Regrets Forced Conclusion.
1T is fair to infer" said Root, thai
the committee was of the opinion COR
rupt methods and practices We're re-
sorted to, but that their legal effec'
was not such as TO invalidate Lori
mer's election. i regret to say thai
after an examination OF this testimony
I'm constrained To disagree with thu
members of the committee" saying III
had been forced to this conclusion
with deep regret, both on account o
his respect for the members of th'
committee and regard for Lorimer
Root said he had been impelled Il
of the state of Illinois and the country
at large.
81 cannot" he said most earnestly
"come to any different conclusion"
He expressed the opinion that boil
the state and country had been dis
graced by the methods of the Lorimei
election.
Bailey Creates Sensation.
At the conclusion OF Roots speech
Senator Bailey created a sensation b.
asserting that If Lorimer were shu
out by any such logic, then Cullom
also should be excluded, and he add
ed impressively, "and there is no ont
here who'd not acquit Cullom Of hav
| ing knowledge of any wrong-doine
| I'm connection with his election"

JUDGE HOLDS HYDE JURY
Porterfield Thinks Missing Juror
May Return in Right Mind,
ONE CLUE TO WHEREABOUTS
Incident WnI BE Responsible for
New Jury Law at Next Session
of the Missouri III.
Legislature.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 12.-Contrary to
the plan announced yesterday, the jury
that is hearing the case Of Dr. b. Clarke
Hyde, accused of numbering Colonel
Thomas II. Swope, was not dismissed to-
night, although Harry Waldroh, the miss
ing juror, has not been located. Judge
Porterfield decided late today that he
would hold the eleven remaining jury
men for another week in the hope that
Waldron may be discovered and found
competent TO resume his duties.
Waldron has been missing since Mon
day morning, when he escaped from the
jury's hotel, and but one clew TO his
whereabouts after he fled has been
found. That came today when Mrs.
Reidy werby who lived short distance
from the Waldrons, said ,she saw the
missing man in her pasture yesterday
afternoon. He appeared demented, she
said. An Investigation of her story was
started, although officers place little con-
fidence in the clew. All OF the city
police force and several deputy county
marshals are still detailed on the case
The members OF the jury were in high
| spirits today. as they thought their CON
finement would be ended tonight. When
Judge Forfeited sent them to their hotel
for the night there were some disap'
pointed looks. The court explained to
the men that the county had been put tc
great expense in-the seven weeks that
the trial has run and he wanted to be
certain that there was no chance OF
Waldron returning before discharging the
jury.
1T is possible" said Judge Porterfielt
in an interview, that Waldron may wan
der around for a week in a dementeC
state, then come to mis- right mind and
return a competent juror. Such thingi
have happened. / do not desire to dis
