GAINS SUPPORT
OF A SENATOR
Jones, Of Washington, An
nOunCeS That He Has
Changed His Position
CASE FOUNDED ON
PERJURY HE DECLARES
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, July 10.--Senator
William Lorimer. OF Illinois. faced the
crisis of his senatorial career today
when he prepared to begin his own
personal plea Of Not Guilty. 10 the
charge Of knowledge OF corruption n
his election.
Senator Jones, Republican, Wash
ington) a member OF the investigating
committee, made a speech IN favor Of
Lorimer. He announced that he would
vote for Lorimer, although In the first
trial he voted against him The tes-
timony in the last hearing and the
character Of the witnesses had caused
him to change his minds Jones said.
"An impression prevails through
out the country" Jones declared,
that vote for Lorimer is vote
in favor of bribery and corruption. |
regret that impression and believe
something should be done to correct
the lack Of respect people have for
public men. There is a tendency to
recognize public clamor and yield TO
its demands. I think Senators should
act fearlessly and according TO their
convictions"
Interruptiag, Senator Smith. Of
Michigan. protested vigorously
against the insinuations that Senators
could be influenced by popular senti-
ment He declared that he had read
every word Of the testimony and If he
reached the conclusion that perjury
and bribery and infamy attached to
the election Of Lorimer he would
stand by the consequences. There
were those In the Senate, he said,
who sought to control their associ-
ates. Il was worth a mans political
I life to oppose them
Jones answered that there was no
difference in the exercise of honest
conviction whether a Senator favored
or opposed Lorimer
But I want II understood" he
added, that a Senator voting for
Lorimer is justified If his conscience
tells him that Lorimer's election was
/ legal and a Senator casting such a
vote should not be considered as ia
voring bribery in the election Of Sen
ators"
Jones insisted there was only one
jackpot fund from which two dis
tributions were made.
/ Not one dollar OF the funds paid
Beckemyer was Lorimer money and
his testimony was to that effect.
said Jones. Il believed Holtslaw
lied when he testified that Brodericl
said the $2500 given him was Lori.
mer money.
THE case against Mr.. Lorimer II
based upon perjury-and nothinl
else" declared Mr.. Jones, bringing hi
!, clenched fist down on the desk with
violence that sent all his papers 4
the floor.
Brown, and Link, and Beckemyel
and White all committed perjury
time and again. All we're told that &
!. they could connect Lorimer with tn,
matter each would be given an i'm
munity bath. Not one of these mel
has ever been prosecuted for per
jury"
