Senator William Lorimer yesterday began testifying In his Aw 11 defense. It was his first appearance in the witness chair since the senate ordered an investigation his election and the event attracted to the committee room a large audience, composed chiefly of women, which waited through an uninteresting day for a sensation that failed to I develop. Senator Lorimer was not called until Kdwai'd Hines, the Chicago lutifber man, and H. A. J.

I'phain, a Milwaukee" lawyer and partner of Senator SLe.phensoii in several lumber companies, had occupied the better part of "the day. The first question Judge Haiieey, Lorinner's counsel, put to Senator Lotliner was a blunt and leading one. "Did you ever pay anything of value to anybody for your election?" he demanded. "1 never did," replied Senator Lorimer. Then Judge Hanecy repeated the question in different forms, evidently framed to cover, the same 'inquiry from every angle or construction, and each time Senator.

Ioriiner turned his face to the committee and replied: "I never did." Mr. Hanecy then h'd the senator Mhroiigh a recital of political condi-j lions in Illinois prioT tT el'eetlon; I The event inferred from the drift of Judge Tanecy's questioning was that, he expects to; accuse Governor Deneen of having itieen responsible for a politi-icaj intrigue which resulted in the of former Senator Hopkins. 1 Hines and Cpham testilied that I hey 1 had a conference in the Union League 'Club in Chieago on May 27" the day following Loriiners election.
