 LEAVES THE SENATE
 CHAMBER LAST TIME
tContinued from Page one)

-@-NN-"""N~N- debate before the final vote on the reso- lution by Lea for exclusion.
 Senators came into the Senate chamber reluctantly this morning, but 60 were at hand when MT. Lorimer again took the floor
 It was I.orimers announced intention when he began to conclude his speech today, unless Interruptions should ex- tend it.
 His opponents were determined he would finish today.
 Senator Lorimer took up in turn the testimony of Beckemeyer, Molstaw, Gill; lespie and others. His analysis was much along the lines brought out by his counsel at the committee hearings.
 At one point, declaring that the pro- ceedings against him had been conducted by conspirators, he exclaimed: "If all the people knew the full story they'd drive that band of hypocrites out of the country. And they will know it. If God spares me they'll know it from one end of the land to the other''
 To his own efforts he credited the sen atorial investigation, saying the tribune people" took no steps to cause an investi- gation by the Senate until he introduced resolution asking for 1t.
 Compares Himself to Percy
 He compared his case to that of Senator Percy in Mississippi, in which he declared a conspiracy to attempt to fasten corrupt practices in the election of Percy had been thwarted only by a fortunate dis covery of facts.
 Lormer went after Senator Crawford of South Dakota. who had spoken and voted against him at the first trial. He re- ferred to charges made against Crawford in connection with a public land claim and declared an affidavit against Craw- ford which had no foundation, appeared to be truthful on it's face. Has Charles A. White made any state ment to your committee stronger than that Crawford affidavit?' he demanded. "I think the statement of a man more foul than the man who made this affidavit against him"
 | q don't ask for the senator's vote. '' continued Lorimor But I am asking you. Senator Crawford if after that awful experience you had don't you think you ought to weigh carefully. thoughtfully. mediate long and often before you vote to destroy your fellow man on evidence like that?"
 Senator Lormers tone took on deep feeling as he directed his address towaro senator Crawford.
 "I have been made out the vilest foulest creature on earth, because of misstatements about me- he cried vote dS you ulu DetOre, senator traW ford. have yourself recorded among those who voted to drive me hence I'll never believe even then that you are the kind of q man that affidavit tried to show. But surely having gone through what you have, am entitled to have you give at least full consider aton to the evidence in my case"
 Scores w. J. Burns
 Senator Lorimer took up the employ ment of Detective Burns, to whom he referred as the detective "who had driven to his grave a United States senator, whom the people now believe not to have been guilty" The reference was taken by the Senate to apply to the late John II. Mitchell of oregon.
 MT. Lorimer declared 1t had been shown that the Burns detectives had committed perjury and he made like charges against others. He said White was bought by the Tribune to perjure his soul: that G1avis was bought but lacked the nerve to go through with it and was then indicted in Washing ton to close his mouth.
 Would you turn anyone out on the testimony If there were no people back home demanding blood?" he shouted.
 "lf you drive me from this chamber I'll never charge you with anything except that you were not sufficiently informed, There will be no charge in my mind that you did not vote in ac cordance with your conviction of right"
