"> Was Bribed.
WORKS NINETY DAYS ON CASE
Reports to Committee He Has Comics.
sion of Man Claiming to Have
'. Received 81, 500 to Testify
at Washington.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Developments
more or less sensational about to take
place in the Lorimer case will dis
tective who built up the evidence
around the Mcnamara dynamiters,
has been at work for at least three
months gathering evidence to be pre-
scented to the committee investigating
the election of the Junior senator from
Illinois.
Aim to lmpeach Witness.
Mr.. Burns was employed for about a
month by the senate committee, and
later was engaged by the interests
fighting to unseat Senator Lorimer.
The committee discontinued his serv-
ices, according to members, because OF
the almost prohibitive expense.
1t is reported that the end sought
by the anti-Lorimer interests is the
impeachment of a certain witness who
gave evidence in Senator Lorimer's
defense relating to the alleged state
ment of c. F. Wiehe, brother-in-law
of Edward Hines, that a Jackpot"
fund of 100000 was used Ito put Lori
mer over"
Photograph Is Used.
In substance Burns is declared to
have reported to the committee that
he was prepared to offer evidence that
one of the witnesses who testified in
regard to this incident had confessed
he was paid $1,000 to come to Wash
ington. A Photographic method by
which Burns obtained the alleged con-
fession is also said to have been laid
before the committee.
1t is not asserted that the evidence
Burns promises to produce is intended
to establish whether there was $780,
900 jackpot fund or that Senator
Lorimer had knowledge of it. 1t affects
solely the veracity of witness called
by the defense.
Will Follow Lorimer.
This new evidence will be laid be-
fore the committee after the cross-eX-
animation of Senator Lorimer is fin
ished.
1t is also known that evidence in re-
buttal will follow Senator Lorimer's
testimony. The committees process
servers finally have produced former
member of the Illinois legislature
whom they had not been able to find
until recently. 1t is also the purpose
of the committee to continue it's in
vestigation into investments Of money
which certain members of the legisla-
ture are alleged to have made shortly
after May 26, 1909.
These new developments have
widened the scope of the inquiry con-
siderably, and it will not be closed so
soon as was expected.

DAMAGES After Long Fight.

Logan, Jan. 24.-Special: After
years of continuous litigation in the
lower and higher court of Iowa for
damages for the loss of services and
society of his wife and three children
burned to death as the result of an
explosion of an oil can which contain
ed a large quantity of gasoline when
it was supposed to have contained
kerosene. Lee Chapman, of Pisgah,
has just been notified the petition OF
re-hearing by the appellent has been
denied by the supreme court. This
means that Chapman will only re-
ceive 81 ,OS4 damages which amounts
under the verdict to S25 for the loss
OF his wife's services and 1858 for
each of the three children. The pur-
chase of the oil and the explosion
took place in May 1907, and the jury
returned a verdict of $500 for the loss
of his wife's services, but Judge Green
regarded this amount excessive and
reduced it to $500.

Champaign, H., Jan, 24.-Responsi-
bilitylfor the Illinois Central wreck at
Kinmundy has narrowed down to three
men as a result of searching inquiry
conducted by Vice-President w. l.,
Park of the Illinois Central. .
Henry j. Becker, fiagman, and John
Brainerd, conductor of express train
No. 25, to which was attached the pri.
vate car carrying former President J.
T. Harahan and his three associates
who were killed, and Robert Stuart,
engineer of train No 3, which crashed
into the rear end OF the other train,
may be blamed.
The conductor and fiagman, indica-
lions point, will be charged with fail
ing to take necessary precautions to
warn the approaching train of their
proximity, while Engineer Stuart may
be censured for not having his train
under control. q,
Go to Scene Of Disaster.
The board of inquiry impaneled by
Vice-President Park went to Kinmun-
dy last night, where at midnight the
passage of the same trains was noted
under conditions. which duplicated as
nearly as possible those Of Sunday
night.
There was a dramatic scene at the
inquiry when Engineer Stuart testi-
fed. Bruised and battered from his
terrible experience, Stuart excited the
sympathy of all. His head was bound
In bandages, and his face was mass
of bruises. =.
Engineer Tells Story.
Evidently seeming an adverse find
ing, the engineer asked permission to
make a statement. It was accorded.
He said:
For twenty-five years | have been
a railroader and no man has ever
been hurt by my negligence. One OF
the best friends had died in the wreck,
verdict is, want to say that | have
told the truth, that | could not see
the tail lights of the other train. |
want to be excused. ! have been I'M
able to eat anything today and l am
weak"
You have all our sympathies," said
Mr. Park, as the engineer, sobbing,
tottered from the stand.
Run on Close Margin.
The evidence developed the fact that
the two trains were running on the
narrowest margin allowed, ten min
utes. Flagman Becker had been or.
dered by his conductor to look out
for No. g." He did not set off any
fuses from Efingham to Kinmundy.
AS he alighted at Kinmundy he saw
the headlight OF the approaching train
and ran to flag it.
Three inspectors Of the interstate
commerce commission took notes and
asked questions. They were apparent
ly satisfied that the investigation was
sufficiently searching.
The conductors of the two trains
disagreed as to the time of the acct
