Miss Patton's examination was not
completed when the biggest row of
the sensational murder case was pre-
cipitated by the lawyers. The young
woman was the second witness called
by the defense and Attorneys Schenck
and Atchison wanted to prove that
Wilkerson often boasted to her of his
ability as fighter and told her of his
numerous conQuests. Some of these
statements were repeated to young
Bragg. Some were not.
The state contended that the de-
fense could not show the individual
battles in which WilkerSon engaged.
For more than an hour the attorneys
hurled supreme court decisions at the
court. Then the court adjourned for
noon TO think it over. The question
was a vital one for Bragg's interests
and involves the use of nearly 80 of
the so witnesses subpoenaed by the
defense.
1t was last winter when Miss Pat
ton declined to acceput Wilkerson's
attentions. The young mans frequent
quaTrels did not appeal to the Valeu-
cia girl and she began to accept the
attentions of Bragg. Wilkerson was
enraged. For months he had held un-
disputed sway in the community, and
when Wilkerson loaned his attentions
to young woman it was deemed a
token of greatest consideration. None
, VI the NOuHS pSOpIS ever lllCy
could make eyes at the girl who re-
ceived Frank Wilkerson's attention.
| So when Bragg stepped into the
| breach, and took all the open dates
at the Patton home, there was an up
rising.
| Then it was, the defense claims, that
| Wilkerson tried to poison the mind of
Fred Moore against Bragg and urged
| the farmer to drive Bragg from the
community. When this failed, Wiker-
son threatened to whip his rival. Then
| he told his sweetheart he would kill
| him.
! From this evidence the defense hopes
to convince the jury that Wilkerson
was always the aggressor. that Bragg
was afraid of the man and tried to
| evade him.
Defense Is Outlined.

at the morning session. He occupied

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

If a store is to be successful,
it must advertise, but advertis-
ing of itself, no matter how well
done, will not avail much if it is
not FORTIFIED BY COUR-
TESY AND INTEREST on the
part of the sales people.
During the meeting Of the
American Publishers last April
in New York, a number of
gentlemen were walking up
Fifth avenue and reached a
candy store. One of the party
thought he would like to buy
some candy and send it to the
wives of the gentlemen of the
party, so they started to go in
the store.

SENATE MUST
60 On RECORD
At EARLY DATE
ENTIRE COUNTRY IS LOOKING ON
IN LoRlMER CASE AND THERE
WILL BE NO CHANGE TO SIDE.
STEP.
BY Clyde RI. Tavenner

Washington, Jan. 13.-With the en-
tire country looking on. each indiviiu-
al memDe of the United States SEN
ate will soon have to go on record
either for or against Lorimerism.
Every senator who votes for Lori
merism will have that vote charged
UP to his record. When he comes I'D
for reelection to the senate. Or if he
ever runs for any other elective posi-
ton, his opponent will be sure to
point to the vote for Lorimer and to
urge it as good reason why the peo-
pie should retire MIN to private life.
Every senator knows this as well as
does the writer. Those members who
are against Lorimerism and all that it
stands for are glad to have the op-
portunlty to go On record But those
senators who for any reasons feel
bound to vote for Lorimer are squirm-
ing. The entire matter is very an
noying to them. They hope some way
may be found or invented so that a
direct vote may be avoided.
Indications are, however. that the
Lorimer senators will have to, step
out before the people of the nation
and show where they stand. The
fight against Lorimer will be forced
by motion declaring that Lormer is
not entitled to his seat, and, as such
a motion is privileged, it can be dis
posed of only by a majority vote. The
public should watch how their sena-
tors vote. 1t only happens now and
then that senators are forced into a
position where they must reveal their
true colors. and the people ought to
take advantage OF such mites
The vote on the Lorimer report may
be considered thermom1 register
ing every senator's temperature on
the proposition Of keeping politics in
general, and the election o. United
States senators in particular, clean
and wholesome.
1t is hoped the senators who are
making such courageous fight
against the adoption of the Lorimer
report will guide proceedings in the
senate so that the resolution prov1d-
ing for a constitutional amendment to
elect senators by a direct vote may
be brought before the senate while
the Lorimer case is pending. so that
both may be discussed at the same
time and the bearing of one 'lpon the
other clearly demonstra Je. Nothing
could more forcibly illustrate the
need of direct elections of senators
than the corruption and jugglery
which gabe Boss Lorimer his seat.
\ progressive is authority for the
statement that not fewer than thirty
senators are against permitting Lori
mer to remain a member Of ne sen
ate. Thjs is far from a majority but
the number is large enough to assure
a tremendous battle before the case
is disposed of.

tative of Lee O'Neill Browne, on the
same account
Michael s. Link, another member Of
the legislature. under oath, stated in
like manner before the senate COM
mittee that he met Lee O'Neill Browne
at the Southern Hotel in ST. Louis on
June 81, 1909. and received $1,000 from
him; that he met Brownies man, VIII.
son, in St. Louis, on July Is, 1909, and
got 5000 from Wilson at the same time
and place as Beckemeyer.
Charles A. White, another legislator
who voted for Lorimer, testified under
oath that he had made an arrange.
ment with Lee O'Neill Browne ON May
25. 1909, to vote for Lorimer, for ST.
600, and was to have as much more
from other sources repeatedly referred
to as the Jack pot" that Browne paid
him S1,000-first, 500 at Springfield,
Ill; $50 in Chicago, ILL.,, and $3.50 in
Chicago, ILL.,, on June II, 1909, and that
he received in like manner 5000 from
Brownies man, Wilson,, at the South
ern hotel in st. Louis, on July Is, 1909.
Whites testimony is corroborated by
Thomas 2. Kirkpatrick, who said that
White deposited for safe-keeping a
package Of money marked eight hun
dred dollars with Mr. Hollender,
cashier of the Grand Leader Store in
st. Louis, in the latter part of June.
White is otherwise corroborated by
accounting for the time, place. and
amount Of mis- various expenditures OF
this money received from Browne and
Wilson.
Charles S. Luke, who voted for Lori.
mer. is now dead He met Lee O'Neill
Browne at the Southern Hotel in ST.
Louis on June 81, 1909, at the same
time Browne paid Beckemeyer and
Ling. Luke exhibited $3.50 to his wife
Immediately afterwards without ex-
planning its source.
Lee O'Neill Browne was. indicted for
bribipg Charles A. White. The first
jury disagreed and by the second jury
he was acquitted. Brownies attorney,
Erbstein, was indicted for bribing the
jury which acquitted Browne.
Such is the status Of the case before
the United States senate. The issue
Is not whether Mr. Lorimer personally
bribed, but whether in his election
there were used or employed corrupt
methods Or practices"
