Browne Bribery Trial Ends in Hung Jury After 115 Hours
Jurors in the Lee O'Neil Browne bribery case were discharged after 115 hours and 12 minutes with no verdict. Foreman Henry F. Mueller said the panel could not reach an agreement eight to four for conviction. A new trial was set for July 7 at 4:00 a.m. Judge McSurely denied a motion to restrain officials from addressing the jury through the press. The case tied into White's Chicago Tribune confession of payment for votes in the Lorimer matter, with testimony detailing payments at the Southern hotel and in St. Louis. Several legislators confessed to receiving money, fueling a high-profile graft inquiry.
