Man Who Claims He Was
Bribed Says He Offered
to Sell Confession
for $500.
FAILED IN EFFORT
TO SCARE LORIMER
Senator Wished Him Sue
cess as an Author if He
Concluded to Publish
His Exposure.

TATASHINGToN. Aug, 3,-Charles
NM A. White, the Illinois legis-
WV lator, who claims he was bribed
to vote for William Lorimer
for senator, completed his three days
story on direct examination before the
senate Lorimer committee today. He
has yet to measure wits with counsel
for Lorimer in cross"examination.
Most of the day was devoted to tell
ing how he spent the $1,000 "Lorimer
money and the 5000 Jackpot
money he claims he received and in
relating his attempts to have his so,
called confession printed. At the end
of the day the manuscript was put IN
evidence.
The story told at the first Lorimer
inquiry was varied by repeated fusil-
ladies' of questions from the committee
as to Whites motive in accepting the
bribes and then exposing them.
Sticks to His Story.
White stuck to his testimony that
he was working all the time for the
good of the public. The story was also
varied by differences with the testi-
mony of James Kelley, general man
ager and editor of the Chicago Tribune,
as to the price which White asked for
his confession manuscript. White
testified today that he asked only
S3500, and not $4,000,
He told how he objected TO the con-
tract because it said he 'foffered to
sell - his story to the Tribune. White
said he did not offer to sell it. but he
could not tell Senator Jones what words
he would have used TO describe what
he had done. The witness said he was
told that these words made no differ
ence anyway. He said he went to the
Tribune with the manuscript because
Edwin R. Wright, president of the Hi
nois State Federation of Labor. sug-
gested that he see Editor Mccormick of
that paper.
Eight Months in Custody.
White complained that he did not
have counsel when he made the con-
tract and that he was placed in Gus
,,ody the very night he signed it and
kept in custody for nearly eight months.
When he protested against it, White
said the officers told him they had
papers that might "surprise him.
He testified that he heard States
Attorney Wayman of Cook county tell
the officers to keep him in charge and
that he had heard that Wayman had
the officers take him on trips to Wis,
consin, Minnesota and Michigan so as
to keep him from appearing before the
Sangamon county grand jury. At times
White said four officers were with
him.
One letter from White to Lorimer in
formed the senator that White was
about to publish his exposure and that
he had been offered 50 a word for his
30, 0,000-wrod manuscript. Lorimer re-
