FINDS HIM PARTLY GUILTY Used Knowledge of an Impending Prosecution to Secure a Client. The Mercer county Lar has investi gated rumors concerning L. I). Thoina son, a member, who has been associa ted with State's Attorney Graham in the McKinney case, and ended by adopting resolutions which practically found tho lawer guilty of part of the charges ina.le. The circumstances, as related by the Aledo Democrat, are as follows: One evening about three weeks ago Mr. Thomason called on State's Attor ney Graham for consultation in regard to the McKinney case and learned at that time that information had been tiled against a Mr. Butler, an aged resi dent of the town, for alleged abuse of a girl in her teens. Soon afterward Mr. Thomason called up L. E. Butler, son of the accused man. and Invited him to the attorney's oflice, where Mr. Butler was acquainted for the first time of the accusation. Butler told the bai association that Thomason demanded $500 to "fix" the case, saying he stood close to the state's attorney, and later he Interview 1 the latter, with Butler as a witness, but out of earshot, and there karned that Mr. Graham did not intend to prosecute the case, as he was of the opinion that nothing could be proved. Did Not 1II I '.. Instead of telling Butler this, the lat ter states that he was informed the papers had been made out and the sher iff was to pave on the following day to arrest his father, who was out of the state, and that 500 would fix the case If it were paid that night. So Butler wrote out a check, which Thomason cashed the following day. Butler says he was urged to say nothing to any body about the matter. However, when he next met State's Attorney Graham, with whom he had been on good terms, his coolness was so marked that Mr. Graham made inquiries and learned of the circumstances. Thomason defends himself with the statement that he accepted the $500 as EURO QUALITY RIITY OUAUTT Eddy 6v Sexton, OlS.TR.1BUT ORS, Rock Island. 111.
