Burns today took the stand in the Lorimer hearing be- fore the « mitt Burns testified that the Lorimer committee employed him from last June to October, to investigate the testimony of Chas. McGowan, a Lorimer witness. He dropped the case in October, he said, because the committee stopped his fees. Afterward, the detective said, he met Editor James Keeley of the Chicago Tribune in New York, who guaranteed to pay the bill if Burns continued his investigation. “k found,” said Burns, “that Me Gowan lived with his father near Toronto, 1 telephoned the elder | McGowan and asked that he and his son visit me in Toronto.

Under the strain of a gruelling cross-examination, Dr. Stephen Olm. stead, called as an expert witness by the defense in the trial of Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard, this morn- ing made the sensational admission that it would take 60 quarts a day of the asparagus broth given the Williamson sisters to furnish p—tral food nutriment to sustain life. This estimate is even higher than that given by expert physicians, ealled in behalf of the state. Dr. Olmstead also said that not only would a pint of that asparagus broth be insufficient to sustain life, but |that @ quart of milk a day would |not be enough. | The evidence of the state was to |the effect that the Williamson girls | Were given elther « pint of the as- Paragus broth each day or a cup of orange juice. It was reported at noon today from an authentic source that Dr. | Hazzard will not take the stand in jher own defense. Dr. E. B. Little jfield, a homeopath, is now being examined, and he will be followed by Dr. Lessing of Seattle, for the de- fense. As another night session will be held, it is quite probable thet the defense will rest its case at the adjournment of court today. 6 Months for “Badger’”’ Girl May Richards Barr and her hue band, Harry Barr, and Henry H. Carroll, the trio convicted last May of attempting to work a “badger” game on John C. Robey, manager of a baking powder concern here, will have to go to the penitentiary. The supreme court has sustained their sentences. Mrs. Barr was only sentenced to six months in the penitentiary, and her term would have been over by this had she not taken an ap- peal. The men were sentenced to th rs each. The Barres were rried the night when the alleged “badger” game was attempted. They have been in the county jail for about a year now.
