LOR|NER BRIEF

TRIBUNE ASSASSIN
Attorney Tells Senate Fight Was
Started 10 Destroy Illinois
Member
B0ODLERS CALLED LIARS
White and Others Declared Unwor-
thy Of Belief on any Question
=. Funk Denounced
B0ODLERS CALLED LIARS

Washington, March 1S.-A brief
summing up OF arguments on the
facts in the investigation OF Senator
Lorimer'5 election was fled with the
Senate's investigating committee by
Lorimer's counsel today 1t is de-
clared that no proof has ben given
Of either the raising or expending of
any corruption fund for the election
and that "the chances are the out
growth of the determination of the
Chicago Tribune to destroy Senator
Lorimer politically and otherwise. )"
The briefs supplementing one of
the legal points, filed recently, con-
tend that the basis of the charges
against Lorimer though intangible
and irrespo lsbly made@.is that votes
were cast for him as a result of the
bribery of members of the Illinois
legislature. Four votes attacked
were those OF Charles A. White, who
sold the Chicago Tribune story
that he had been given a $1,000
bribe to vote for Lorimer II. J. G..
Becker indicted by the Cook county
grand jury for other matters than
the Lorimer case Michael Link and
DonGld w iTolstlaw
The brief says that Beckemeyer.
Link and Hosltlaw all were given
immunity from punishment for Of
fenses other than in the Lorimer
case, a reward for stating they had
received money for voting for Lori
mer, although all three swore at
other times that their votes We're not
procured by bribery. AS to White,
counsel argued that no one youched
for his credibility.
Tribune Doubted White.
Even the Tribune who bought
him and his story" said the brief,
"did not recognize him or claim for
him any trustworthiness The states
attorney, who used him as a witness,
admitted White was so discredited
that no conviction could be based on
n-corroborative testimony and
that there was no evidence except
Whites own testimony to sustain
the charges of White.
"The testimony of Link, Becke-
meyer and HolstlaW is unworthy of
belief by every recognized rule and
test of credibilty. Their testimony
has little tendency to sustain the
charges, and, so far as it is adverse
to Lorimer, it is unworthy of any be-
lief. Under somewhat theatrical
circumstances public attention, after
the former decision by the senate, on
the matter, was directed to an al
legged conversation of Clarence S.
Fink and Edward Hines, in which
the latter is claimed to make mis-
representation as to the employment
of corrupt practice in the election of
the Senator. We show that Funk's
testimony is not only un-corroborat-
ed but is contradicted by the mani
fest preponderance of evidence, and
that the giving of this testimony by
Funk Is merely part of conspiracy
to ruin Senator Lorimer.
"The fund, alleged to have been
used in the senatorial election, has
no other basis than malignant gos-
sip"

 Nobody is surprised! What is the use of being the whole works unless. you are really and truly the entire works? The doughty colonel might have gone further, but he didn't. We take the liberty to supply the omis- sions:
 For temparory chairman-Thco- dore Roosevelt.
 For committee on credentials Colonel Roosevelt.
 For committee on permanent or ganization-ex-President Roosevelt.

 In this way the convention can have peace. Therwise there will be more trouble to the square inch than has ever been experienced by the elephant, in all the days of his traps ing around the G. o. F. circus.
