States Attorney Wayman De-
nounCed for Treatment of
Witnesses.

Chicago, Nov. 4-Lee O'Neil
Browne today continued his testi-
mony before the Lorimer ommittee.
Browne has already said he knew all
about the election of Lorimer by
bipartisan coalition. because he him
self helped break the deadlock and
elect Lorimer. For this reason he
said he knew of no money having
been used wrongfUny in procuring
the election.
Browne. answering a question as
10 his defense funds in his own
trials, admitted Lorimer personally
leaned him money without a note Or
other security
JACKPOT NEW TERM
Browne also testified that during
his 10 years in the legislature he had
act seen or neard OF corruption of
any kind; nor did he hear the term
Jack pot" until it was used in con
-FeCtion with the White story. When
asked about White, Browne said: Il
did not pay any attention to White,
because. IN my mind, he had ceased
10 be ANYTHING recoguizable-'
WITNESS GROWS BITTER
Browne said another Chicagoan,
whose name was not given. had loaned
him 81 500 TO assist in his defense.
Browne bitterly denounced States At
,orney WaymaD Of Cook county. whom
he accused of i'll treating friends OF
he witness at the time of the graDd
jury inquiry into the Lorimer case
Browne also said the G4ncsSU FfSune-
had placed James J. Doyle of La Sale
in the field as a democratic candidate
TO oppose the witness. They spent
lot of money, the witness said, and at
tempted on one occasion to involve
bim in a street brawl in order TO dis
credit him
BROWNE GOES INTO DETAILS.
Browne told the committee yes
terday how he participated in night
Iy conferences with Senator Lorimer
and his republican lieutenants for a
week or more before the breaking
of the deadlock Erowne gave a
more detailed account of the manner
in which the Lorimer forces lined up
republican and democratic votes for
the senator than any witness who
has yet testified. There was no eff
fort on his part TO pass responsible
ity along TO someone else.
Two or three weeks before Sena-
tor Lorimer's election Speaker
Shurt1eff came to my room in the St.
Nicholas hotel" said Browne. He
asked me what ] thought of Mr..
Lorimer as a candidate for senator
and whether il would be possible for
me to support him He asked me
also how many democrats of my fac
tion would support him.
Il told Mr.. Shurtleff / couIdn' :
speak for anyone but myself. As
for myself I could not say oGhand
whether l should support Mr., Lori
mer or not. I said ! would think il
over and would consult with others.

WHEAT PRICES TUMBLE.
With an almost unprecedented
flood of wheat pouring into Chica-
go, while the Armour Grain COM
pany-Lichtstern pool are trying to
rid themselves of more than 4O,-
900, 900 bushels OF the cereal. CON
ditions on the board of trade yes
terday sent prices tumbIing again
and caused one brokerage firm to
suspend and another to transfer its
trades.
ONE TRADER POSTED.
The first suspension came early
in the day. Sam Finney, who
conducts a small trading house. was
caught in the whirI caused by the
big drop. He was posted" by the
board Pringle, Wing e Co, a COM
paratively new concern. transferred
it's trades a short time later tC
Booth & Co, and ceased operations
for few days.
With no reassuring news as to the
attitude Of the government toward
the alleged attempted wheat cor
ner," the market went tumbIiEg at
the opening bid. Thursday. a. the
close, the price for Decem Der wheat
stood at 50 3-S cents. The first bid
yesterday was AZ cents. The high
est point it reached was 81 is cents
and at the close the quotation was
/ Is cent below the closing price of
the day before.
LOSSES ARE INCREASED.
There was no pressure from long
wheat after the first half of the ses-
sion and the larger operators were
careful Of the short side. Contin-
ued gradual liquidation Of both spot
wheat and futures by the Armour
Lichtstern brokers' caused z loss Of
half a million or more the corner"
had cost them.
Proof that the Armour-LichtsteT
pool" had cornered only a small
portion of the visible supply was
shown when 1,073 600 bushels of
western wheat arrived in the market,
as against 569 900 bushels on the
same date year ago.
