THREEBILLS INBRIBERY CASE! | Members of Illinois Legislature Held for Bribery or Perjury. | ‘ DEMOCRATIC FORCES SHAKEN Lem O'Nelll Browns is Leader of | Party In Lower House—White's Charges Have Begun to Bear Frait. | CHICAGO, May 7.—Lee O'Nelll Browne of | Ottawa, democratic leader of the Tliinols | Mouse of representatives was indicted on a charge of bribery and IRepresentative Robert Wilson of Chicago and Repre- sentative Michael 8, Link of Mitchell, were indicted on charges of perjury here today | by the special grand jury which, for a week, has been investigating the election on May 26, 199, of Willam TLorimer of Chicago to the United States senate. The charge upon which the indictments were returned in Judge Kersten's court was | supplied by Representative Charles A. | White of O'Fallon and Representative H. | d. C. Beckemeyer of Cariyle. Wilson and | J1Ank as well as White and Reckemeyer ars democratic members of the legislature. Specifically, the bribery charges against| Browne is based on the charge that he gave Representative White 350 in a hotel in Chicago late in May, 196, as alleged com- pensation for White's vote for Lorimer for senator. The perjury charge agalnst Link Is based on his testimony before the present | krand jury, May b last. In this testimony | Link is alleged to have sworn that he was | not in.St. Louls, Mo, July 15, 1909, and | that he did not there meet Representative Robert E. Wilson of Chicago. The grand jury declares that it finds upon investi- ' gation that Link was in St. Louls on the date and did meet Wilson The jury further declares that Link will- | tuily perjured himself after full relllnlh;,n the of the value of his statements in Investigation. St. Louls Hotel Incident. The perjury charge against Wilson 18 based on his testimony given before the members of the grand jury May 5. The in- dictment alleges that Wilson testified that he did not hand sums of money to Repre: sentatlve White and Representative Becke- | meyer in the Southerh hotel at St. Louis *July 15, 1909, The grand jury states in its investigation that it finds that Wilson did hand money to both White and Beckemeyer in $t. Louis on the date specified | Immediately upon the return of the three indictments Judg Kersten fixed Browne's | bail at $15,000, that of Wilson at $15,000 and | that of Link at $,00. Another indictment | not bearing upon the Lorimer investigs- | tion, but in connection with another cass of alleged legislative bribery, was returned by the jury against Willam J. Henley, tormer president of the Chicago & Western Indiana rafiroad. -This indictment charges Henley with embezzlement of the railroad's funds. ‘I It is a direct outcome of charges made by John C. Fetzer, who declared that a ush fund” had been in the legislature to mecure the passage of rallroad legislation. The specific bill was house bill 777, validat- ing a $60,000,000 hond issue made by the Chi- cago & Western Indlana ralroad. Fetzer sald that a slush fund of $212,000 was distributed among leglsiators by agents of the road. Following his indictment, Representative Link was taken into the private office of State's Attorney Wayman, where he was closeted with' the pubMic prosecutor for sev- eral hours. State's Attorney Wayman, it is sald, is trying to secure a confession from Link that the prosecutor thinks will strengthen the. testimony of White and Beckemeyer, Sensationnl Eleciion. The session of the legisiature that ele- vated Lorimer to the senats was one of the most sensational In tae history of the state. It had been preceded by general primaries, at which hoth parties recom- mended candidates for the senatorship. Senator Hopkins, then the incumbent, re- ceived a plurality of votes, over ex-Gov- exnor Richard Yates, Congressman Edmund Foss and others. Congressman Lorimer had not been a candidate, but came forward when it be- came plain that no other choice could be made. With the assistance of democratic votes he was elected. White's story in substance was that | Browne approached him at Springfield and | offered him $1,000 to cast his vote for Lor{- mer. White, In his confession, declares that he accepted the money with the pur- pose of showing beyond a doubt corruption existed In the legislature. At the same time, White admitted he spent the money which was given him in three lots of %60 each and one of $850. This feature of the confession in the eyves of States Attorney Wayman, weakened the story as legal evidence, particularly Lorimer, Browne and others ralsd a chorus of alleged blackmall. The confession of Beckemeyer therefore was recelved with the greatest satisfaction by the prosecution. Beckemeyer upheld White on the essential points, it 1s alleged, of having accepted $1000 for his vote for Lorimer, of having been at St. Louls at the time another alleged ‘jack-pot” was distributed and of having accepted a share cqual to that of White's. Seven Illinols logislators were present in | the IlHnols criminal court building today | when the grand jury was In session. They were, H. J. C. Beckemeyer, W. C. Blalr, | Daniel D. Donahue, Joseph H. Clark, | Henry |A. Shepherd, Michael §. Link and Charles A. White. 1n addition, the widow and two childven of the late Representa- | tive Charles S. Luke were in attendance. | Luke, Breckemeyer, Link and Shepherd are alleged by White to have bveen at St Louls when the “jack-fot,” made up of the proceeds of various purchased legisla- | tion, was distributed. | None of the men indicted in the Lorimer case would talk for publication tonight Mr. Browne, talking over the long-dis- tance telephone from his home at Ottawa declined to state when he would come to Chicago. Senator Lorimer declared he had no statement to make at this time.
