charged with bribery. came TO a dra-
matte and unexpected halt late Yes
terday when Charles 4. wilkins, spe-
clal assistant to Prosecuting Attorney
Shepherd. suddenly collapsed uncon-
scious in his chair.
In an instant detective Walter J..
Bremen who had been testifvng as to
how he claims he trapped Brozo was
forgotten. The court room was i'm a
turmoil. 1t WAS thought the attor-
ney had sustained an apepletic stroke
and was dying. y physician soon re-
stored consciousness to the stricken
lawyer and when he recovered Judge
Stein adjourned the hearing until to-
morrow afternoon. One OF the first
men to rush for medical assistance
when the lawyer fell limp in his seat
was Alderman David hosenthal. one
of the eighteen whose conviction Will
kins has been attempting to secure.
1t was stated that overWork and loss
of sleep added to recent illness caus-
ed the assistant prosecutor to break
down.
There was no morning session of
court today and Detective Bremen
was on the stand most of the after
noon. He testified that on July - he
had telephoned l'rozo to come to his
office Oh the advice of Gilman" and
that he talked with BroZo in the de-
tective's office the next day. Alderman
Gilman. president of the common
council has already been bound over
to stand trial for alleged bribery.
Brennan testified that during his
conversation with Lrozo he offered
him 800 to make a speech at a coun-
Gil meeting in favor of closing street
for the benefit OF the Wabash road and
then voting for such an ordinance.
Brozo. so Brennan testified. agreed to
the proposition and called at the de-
tectives Office again on July % when
the latter claimed he paid the hribe.
Much of the discrimination was
the same in the Gilman case--an ef-
fort by the defendants attorneys to
rrobe into the career of the detective
before his coming to Detroit to con-
duct his aldermanic investigation.

asked for a cent.
