DEFENSE SHUTS
LORIMER OUT
OF GRAFT TRIAL
Attorneys for Alleged Briber of
Illinois Legislators Rest
Case Abruptly
Prosecution Declares Defense
Feared Further Testimony
of Its Own Witnesses
Browne, Lori.ner and Lieuten»
ant Governor Were Ex=
peeled to Testify
HICACO. June 21.— Precluding
the possibility of- the defendant
going- on tho stand in his own
behalf and shutting out all testimony
that Senator William Larimer might
have to offer in denial of the charge
that his sr-at in the United States sen
ate was purchased, lawyers for Lee
O'Xeil Browne abruptly ended their
case in the criminal court here at noon
today.
The sudden, move of the defense was
wholly unexpected. More than fifty
witnesses for the defense were thus ex
cluded. Several of these, in addition to
Browne and Senator Lorimer, were
considered important. Among them
was Lieutenant Governor John C.
Oglesby, who arrived in Chicago from
Springfield this morning.
It is said that Browne's counsel be
lieve Ineir case stands or falls upon
whther t'le jury is willing to accept
the testimony of Representative
Charles A. White, wlio made the first
confession and delivered the principal
testimony In the {illcgred bribery scan
dal. It is hoped by the defense that
the jnry will look upon V» T lute's tes
timony as doubtful.
Attorney W. S. Torest, who has led
the defense of Drowne, ha« insisted
from tlie beginning that he is not con
cerned iiiiUerla'ly over the outcome in
the criminal "court, but that he has
made .i legal case for his client to
stand on in a •:fsh'cr~co~urt.~
State's Attorney Wayman, however.
s*y« that Browne and his la.wyers~fear
\n allow the case to be probed further;
that even with their own witnesses
they dare not chance an unexpected
Although Wayman began his closing
argument to the jury 'comparatively
early in the afternoon, he had not fin
ished when court was adjourned for
YTayman said In part:
"You g-entlemen may live to see cor
ruption grow- deeper than has been
manifested in this case, but when cor
ruption is deeper thanis clearly shown
in this case Illinois will have ceased to
be a. state ol the union.
"Murderers may go free; larceny is
excused by the law, and a man may go
out in the night and rob to feed a
starving family, but there is no justi
fication for bribery, it can not go un
punished.
"The fact that more than 50 demo-
crat?! voted for Senator Lorimer, a re
publican, shows in Itself'that there was
White and the defendant met in the
Brigss house in Chicago. "White went
to the room of Browne the day after
they arrived. Browne was partly
drrssed and had no coat on.
Browne laid 17 $30 bills on the table
and White picked them up. H« put
them In an envelope and put it in his
pocket.
Browne said: "You will need a safety
pin to hold the envelope secure," and
he gave White a pin.
'Browne told White then that- he
tvrs going to the Southern hotel, St,
Louis, to pay Lorimer money to other
legislators.
'The only thing before you jurors is
whether Browne paid White $SSO in
thr Briggs house here in Chicago.
"Browne paid 11,000 to Link
Beekenmeyer in St. Louis because it Is
•no crime to do so there. It Is out of
the jurisdiction of Illinois."
.State's Attorney Wayman was asked
- by Forrest to elect on what count be
will ask the jury, to convict Browne.
Vayman declined to do so. Judge Mc
• Surely refused to instruct the prosecu
tor to ko elect. „
Forrest, said there were so many.va
ilations about the Indictment that the
defense could not prepare instructions
to the Jury. Judge McSureiy told For
rest to prepare the instructions for/the
defense.
•.. Forrest made exception to the court's
' refusal to define the Issues "in the case
\u25a0 and asked for 21 hours in which to "pre
• pare instructions of the defense after
the prosecution had entered theirs.' This
also was overruled. ;

following an investigation =made last
week, -by'Cthe ' board of education,
charges v/erc- tiled with that body yes
terday- by . Clerk MelvinG., Dodge, - ac
cusing Principal Walter N., Hush of, the
Polytechnic high" school .;, with "unpro
fessional Uoridu<;t, v 'insubordlnatlon' and
evident untitneHs for teaching."
In the instrumentwhich incorporates
the." allegations '-.four regulations of the
departincnt are set out, .each of , which
Bush is declared to have' disregarded
in the. conduct of the school. Two of
the^, regulations \u25a0 are*'- confined to I the
registration of: the ,time • teachers and
principals are .present -each day, one
deahrwith a monthly report from prin
cipals to -the superintendent; t and the
last with the, student -study schedules.
It is charged that by "making: false Ve
ports BushAvas able'to' secure to him
self as principal of the school a higher
salary than, a correct" report of -attend-,
aiif-e would cntitlciiiniito. • \u25a0;
Priorto the filing of the: charges an
investigation was, made by .the board; of
education and testimony^, taken from
most of .the teachers in the high school.
The Investigation was conducted •under
the supervision of President Thomas R.
\u25a0liannerma'n, of ; the, board of. education:
Bush was '\u25a0 present,' but .was not called
upon to offer an explanation. He will
be heard Tuesday. v
The charge of= insubordination grows
out of " an alleged to enforce
section 62 (a) of the rules of the, board,
which requires teachers.: to be in the
school; building at 8:15 a:,in. ( This rule
also mikes it the duty of the principal
to mark the'morning and afternoon at
tendance of 'teachers."; Section 32(a) is
also quoted as a regulation disi - egarded
by Bush. This makes it. the duty, of
the principal to be in the. school build
ing at S:3O every morning. " \u0084 :
. Complaint ,is further made that sec
tion IS-ib of the school regulations has
been a dead letter in the school.- -This
sets forth r - that any- pupil "can' so ar
range his or her- studies that rlie courso
can be- completed "in four years, but
bars" any '\u25a0* partial : course pupils .from
the high. schools of " the city. Just, in
what measure this rule has been broken
Is not set out inMhe 'charges^. . /.
