when Holstlaw took the witness stand
it would conclude its Washington sit
tings tomorrow.
HANECY REBUKED.
A sharp clash occurred when At
tOrney Healy asked to present in evi-
dence a typewritten statement that
Beckemeyer claimed he made a year
ago. Hanecy suggested HeaIy
might" have prepared dozen
statements purporting to come from
Beckemeyer.
That is a gratuitous insult" At
torney Marble shouted.
Before Beckemeyer left the stand
he explained he voted for ShurtIef,
republican, for speaker, because he
wanted to take 'crack at, Governor
Deneen."

Former state Senator D. W. Hoist

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-08-08

John J. Healy, of counsel for the
senate Lorimer committee, marked
the close yesterday afternoon of a
long cross-examination of H. ]. c..
Beckemeyer, former state represen-
tative, who said he received $1,000
after voting for Lorimer for senator
The clash between the counsel oc-
Cured when Mr.. Healy accused Mr.
Hanecy with having had the pur-
pose of confusing the record and
those who will read It," He was
speaking of Mr. Hanecy's questions
regarding testimony Beckemeyer
gave Saturday concerning his state
ment two years ago to officials in
Cook county that he knew nothing
of interest to the grand jury rela-
tive to corruption in the legislature
''If the gentleman means what he
says, desire to brand it in the man
ner it deserves to be branded, :"
shouted Hanecy, jumping to his feet
and facing the committees attorney
Mr.. Healy declared he could not
tell whether Mr. Hanecy was asking
about Beckemeyer's testimony Satur-
day or about the truth contained in
the statement two years ago. Becke-
meyer said he could not understand
either AS a result Chairman Dill
bingham conducted the examination
on the point himself.
ADMITS THAT HE LIED.
Repeatedly Mr. Hanecy required
the witness to admit that he lied
when he declared, before he confess
4
receiving money, that he had not re-
ceived money and knew nothing
about corruption in the legislature.
Finally he appealed to the commit
tee to be excused from answering
similar questions. Chairman Dilling-
ham ruled that after the witness had
testified three or four, or five times
that he lied, it was not necessary for
counsel to require the witness to
characterize the kind of lies he told
The chairman expressed impatience
that the examination should be
drawn out by such insistance.
BECKEMEYER Is FIRM.
Throughout Beckemeyer remained
firm in declaring he received money
after voting for Lorimer and ex-
planned that he asked to be given the
privilege Of making a clean breast
Of the whole matter before the grand
jury because he didn't want an in
dictment to be brought against him
in a hospital.
without ever having heard any
one say that NANNY Abrahams re-
ceived money for voting for Lorimer
Beckemeyer said he inferred that
Abrahams was connected very closely
in the matter; that Abrahams was
closer to Browne than the witness
and that BT0Was mad told the demo-
.rrats that .G=I were to vote for a |
republican when "Menny" did

naped by BLACK hand blackmail-
ers. Police Inspector Revere de-
clares an incendiary fire at the Gault

was set by the Mareno kidnapers as
a warning to Mareno following their
demand for $1,000 ransom for the
return Of his boy.
ANOTHER LETTER RECEIVED.
Antonio Mareno, his wife and the
three young Marenos sat in their
home, $50 Gault court, last night
and watched the clock. A few hours
earlier they had received a letter
concerning the safety OF their g.
year-old son who was stolen by
"black hand" kidnapers Saturday
night.
The letter Informed them that they
must pay $4,000 for his ransom by
10 o'clock at night. No death threat
was made, but one was implied. With
the Marenos the whole Of the north
side Little Italy also watched the

groups and waited. as for a miracle
or the ending of the world
Nothing happened. Ten o'clock
came and passed and the Marenos
were In as much ignorance regarding
the life or death or the Whereabouts
of their boy, Angelo, as they had
been before the last black hand"
letter arrived.
LETTER DEMAND FOR $4,000.
The letter in rough translation
read:
Your boy is safe. He has bet
ter clothes. better food and n
better home with us than he had
with you. But you must pay us
$4,000 by 10 o'clock tonight.
Get the money from your
friends. BLACK HAND.
The characters were printed. The
letter was delivered through the
mail as was the first letter which an
nounced the kidnapping. 1t did not
say where the money was to be paid.
The first letter had said to pay It TO
a man passing the house. The sec
ond missive did not even include
these instructions.
These circumstances have made
Mareno believe that his boy was not
killed at 10 o'clock last night. but
that he still lives and will be made
