j. S. SENATOR
LORIMER OUSTEO
Senate Finds He Got His Seat
BY Corruption.
MANY PROFFER SYMPATHY
Senator Tlllmsn Weeps As State
ment He Prepared Was Being
Read BY the Senate
Clerk.

Washington-For the first time ii
Ghe history of the republic Senator
Of the United States was expelled
from that body when William Lori
mer, OF Illinois, was unseated by a
vote of IS TO rs.
This action came after the most
dramatic scene witnessed in the Sen
ate for a generation. 1t followed an
eloquent appeal from the Senator him
self who had for three days spoken
In his own defense, and after the
venerable Senator Tillman, OF South
Carolina, with tears in his eyes, had
pleaded for justice for his Illinois as
sociate.
Before the vote was taken, too, Sen
Rtor Dixon, OF Montana, campaign
manager for Theodore Roosevelt, rose
and upon his oath as a Senator de-
clared that the affidavit read by Lori
mer, involving Colonel Roosevelt and
himself in bribery charges at Chi
cage was a malicious falsehood. He
denied every detail OF the affidavit
The vote closed the most sensation
al case OF its kind in American his
tory. Other Senators have been tried
by their fellows and one or two OF the
number would undoubtedly have been
expelled from the Senate had they not
resigned. This is the first case, how
ever, where a majority OF the Senate
has actually voted to drive one OF
their number from the body.
When the overwhelming vote was
announced, Lorimer, no longer a Sen
ator, rose from his seat and walked
slowly out of the chamber. Though
disgraced and convicted after two
trials. the Illinoisan smiled as the
Senate doors closed behind him. On
his way out Senator Smoot threw his
arms about the retreating man. Sen
ator Bailey left his seat and, hurry
ing to Lorimer's side, shook hands with
him warmly Outside the chamber
more than 100 persons had gathered.
The former Senator stopped and shook
ly left the Capitol.
Many men and women in the gal
leries were weeping when Lorimer fin
istnd his three-dRy speech. He had
created widespread sympathy for
h1mslf by his prolonged defense and
by his intense pleading.
Senator Tillman said that he was
too weak to stand and address the
Senate. He sent his statement to
the clerk, and as it was read the
6outherner broke down three or four
times, burying his head in his hands
as he wept He said he was approach
ing his grave and could go before his
Maker without the stain of having
voted against Lorimer upon his record
He said he cast his vote with the full
knowledge that the act might cost
him reelection 70 that body.
