RESTS IN THE BURTON CASE
Action of QoTarnmeni a Snrpriat to Defense
. . .. and Hearing Ends fcr Daj.
SENATOR MADE SIDE MONEY AS ATTORNEY
Itroaa- Evidence Tcmdlno; to Show
tkat He Did Xot Receive
Fees, for His Otttclal
' Islseace, '
ST. LOUIS, March 2i Tha government
rested It case lata today In the trial of
United Status Senator Joseph R. Burton of
Kansas, who la- charged with having illeg
ally accepted fees from the Rialto Grain
and Securities company of St. Loula. The
aotlon of the government came aa a sur
prise to the defense. Shortly after Judge
Cheater II. Krum, for the defense, had
started his opening address Senator Burton
and Frederick Lehmann, aasoclate counsel
for the defense, held a hasty consultation,
and Mr. Lehmann, Interrupting Judge
Krum, secured a continuance until tomor
row morning.
In concluding ita evidence the government
ahowed by the testimony of Chief Post
mastor Cochran of Washington that he
had been requested by Senator Burton to
call at his (Burton's) office on the after
noon thaf Senator Burton'a Indictment was
made publlo in Washington. Inspector
Cochran testified that Burton had asked
him on what charge the indlotment had
been returned.
"I told him," continued Cochran, that aa
I had been a witness before the grand jury,
I could not discuss th evidence, but tht
the indictment was found under section
No. 1782 of the Revised Statutes. Burton
told me that h had appeared before the
Poatofflce department, not as a United
Statea senator, but simply aa an attorney
for the Rialto Drain and Securities com
pany. I pointed out to him that my under
standing of the aectlon of the atatutea was
that the fact that he had acted aa the at
torney for the Rialto company was re
sponsible for hla indictment."
Cochran waa recalled and in reply to
questions said:
"Senator Burton called me to hla offloe,
told me that he wished to represent the
Rialto company In matters before the de
partment, for which he waa to receive a
large fee. This waa on February 6. before
there waa any complaint. He assured me
that he did not wish to antagonise the de
partment. He alao aold that he had con
sulted several of his colleagues In the aen
ate and they assured him that his connec
tion with the Rialto company waa legal
and that many aenatora had Increased their
incomes In similar ways. Senator Burton
said that he had lost 170,000 recently, for
which he waa not legally responsible, but
which he wished to repay, and that hla fees
would revert to that use."
W. J. Vlckery. chief poatofflce Inspector
at Cincinnati, testified that he had accom
panied Inspector Cochran to Senator Bur
ton'a office on the evening that the Indict
ment became known in Washington. He
aubatantlated Cochran's teatimony and tes
tified that Burton said that he had ap
peared only aa an attorney for the Rialto
company before the Postofflce department
and not aa a United States senator.
Hector McRea testified that he waa comp
troller for the Rialto company on March
M. ISOt "I waa called into the office of
Mr. Mahaney. the vice president, and there
met Senator Burton. Mr. Mahaney, in the
ereeenc4 of Senator Burton, told me that
the senator had severed his connection with
the Rialto company, giving as his reasons
that aril maeters before the Postofflce de
partment had been cleaned up."
Who are the real
Enemies of The Republic
Not political bosses, not the "grafters" they
are the tools but the business men who bribe
legislators into betraying the trust of the people.
Political corruption of this sort is treason
