hi his right hand thrown b

hant. with his right hand thrown uTl
accusingly.
The gamut of emotion was run by
Lorimer in his swan song. From
angry vehemence to almost whispered
utterances of pathos, as he tenderly re-
cited the unwavering love and faith
of his family, Lorimer played upon the
heart-strings of his audience But his
oratory won no votes. He was almost
in a state of collapse when he conclud-
ed. from the heat and the vehemence
of his speech and his emotion at the
trial
One of the most dramatic eposdes Of
Lorimer's defense came when he aD-
pealed to the Deity to witness his In
nocence. Before God, I declare my
steadfast belief, my answering convic-
ton that no man who voted for Lorimer
did So from corrupt methods" he said
slowly.
During this utterance, he stood with
one foot forward, his hands raised TO
the dome of the senate ceiling, his eyes
wide opened and strained upward. Then
he turned suddenly and fiercely upon
his colleagues.
Much has been said about Lorimer's
resignation. What he shrieked- Re
sign! Quit, never. This is not
chamber for towards. I'll not resign. .
When Lorimer had finished, Senator
Lea called for the roll-caH.
