Jury to Hear How Lorimer Seat Sale Alleged
Chicago May 4 Forty nine of fifty three democratic legislators in Wisconsin will be summoned before a special grand jury to testify about the alleged sale of Senator Lorimer seat in the United States Senate. Subpoenas are being issued for six names including Lee O Neill Browne and Representative White. White described his story to the grand jury but faced procedural delays. Lorimer’s secretary arrived with a letter White says proves White is mentally unbalanced. Browne was absent and had left the city. Libel suits from Lorimer are anticipated if the grand jury acts against him.
