BROWNE TRIALS COSTLY

man Thinks Good Results
Followed.

Chicago, Noys Why Charles A
White, who, confessed to having
taken a bribo for his vote for Lori
mer, was not prosecuted, was ex,
planned by States Attorney Wayman
before the investigation committee
today as being due to lack of evi-
dence against White.
Mr.. Wayman said the only evi-
dence against White was that con.
tanned in his own confession and un.
der the law he could not be prose
cuted on such evidence.
The witness explained that the
cost to Cook county of prosecuting
the two trials against Lee O'Neill
Browne, named by White as hav
ing paid the alleged bribe. was
$1S,5O0. The county paid a small
part of the cost of detectives work
done prior to the time of Whites
confession. The witness said the
county was benefited from tina,

ished the prosecution by entering
pleas Of guilty and throwing them
selves on the mercy of the court.
Previously, Edward Ricord, bar
Der, had entered the same plea.
Judge Glover will pass sentences
after hearing the present cases.
That no l2niency has been agreed
: to was declared by s. M. Hawkes.,
assistant attorney general of Kan
sas who is in charge of the states
case. l., 3~
None of the men who have
pleaded guilty, said Hawkes., have
any promise from us. !" we will
prosecute the other accused men as
vigorously as possible"
A $500 fine and sentence of one
year in Jail is the maximum SEN
tonce possible.
Difficult to Prove.
That the prosecution expects diff
flcuIty in proving the identity OF the
men who attacked Miss chamberlain
was admitted by one of the states
lawyers tonight. He pointed out
that the tarring was accomplished
in silence, not word being spoken
by the oh. l'er1 Tbs m,n who '.rc
Miss Chamberlain's clothes and
those who applied the tar to Nc
body said nothing, The only con-
versation that passed was between
Miss Chamberlain and Ricord, the
girls escort, who was paid to deco?
her to the spot.
AS the pair was driving home af-
ter the assault Miss Chamberlain
said: What did they mean?"
II think" Ricord replied, THAT
they meant the tar as hint for you
to leave the. country"
The only excuse for the act, ac-
cording to the attorney, was mum
ber of suspicious meddling women
who had whispered evil of the girl
and melted their men folks to pun
ish her. Investigations convinced
the county attorney that allegations
made against the young schoo
teacher were untrue.

tlo ground for the clashing forces Of
legal wit and experience.
When the court today ended, both
sides claimed the advantage. Argu- .
ments will be resumed tomorrow.
The question of facts advanced BY
