OWEN Is
AGAINST
AAVO N
LORIMER
Makes Speech Urging
That Illinois Senator
be Expelled


Washington, JAN l0.--A scathing ar
raignment Of the manner in which Alr.
Lorimer was elected was made BY Mr.
owen, who asserted that the testi-
mony taken by the subcommittee
which investigated tre case showed
that at least ten vot,s Of the 10S re-
ceived by Mr Lormer should not have
been counted Other senators who are
known to oppose the retention BY Alr.
Lorimer to his seat, have not claimed
that more than seven votes were faint
ed The ten votes condemned BY alr.
owen and the reasons assigned BY
him for his belief that they should not
have been counted, were as follows:
Senator d. W. Holtslaw, who con-
fessed he received money from Sena-
tor John B. Broderck John Brode-
rick, because Of his refusal to testify
lin the investigation, on the ground that
his testimony might incriminate him.
Representative Fl. J. G. BeclSemeyer,
who confessed to an alleged corrupt
agreement with Minority Leader Lee
O'Niel Browne, and to receiving mon
ey from Representative Robert 2. Will
son: Representatives Michael S. Link
and Charles A. White, both made con-
fessions that they had received money
from Browne and Wilson, and Messrs.
Browne and Wilson, because OF the
Testimony OF others that they had
handled the alleged corruption funds:
the late Representative Charles S.
Luke, because of his presence in ST.
Louis at the time the corruption fund
was said to have been distributed and
the fact that be was known to have
received an unusual sum Of money at
about that time for which his wife WAS
unable to account; Representative
Josepn D. CIafK. VINO was alsu VII st.
Louis at about the same time, and be-
cause of conversation with others
about the alleged corruption fund, and
| Representative Henry A. Shepard,
who is said to lave agreed to vote for
Lorimer because Of the latter's prom-
4 ise to prevent the appointment Of cer-
tain man as postmaster at Jersey
willie, III.
The testimony Of these men or that
OF others in relation to their conduct,
was analyzed by Mr. Owen at great
length, and he sand that, in his opin-
+ ion, the record Of bribery and corrupt-
ion set forth by him could not be bro
ken down on the theory that the
men who received the bribes were un-
worthy Of belief on their confessions
and their testimony against the bribe-
4 giyers was unworthy of credit"
He contended that the tissue of sub
stantial and circumstantial evidence
surrounding the case made it impos-
