WASHINGTON. July SB. A detailed ac
count of a reputed attempt to buy enough
democratic rotes In tbs Illinois legislature
to re-elect Albert J. Hopkins to the senate,
wao told on the witness stand yesterday be
fore the . senate Lorimer committee by
James Keeley, general manager of the
Chicago Tribune
It was the seneatlon of a day .of sen
sations In the hearing. It followed Mr.
Keeley's testimony as to how ha happened
to buy the confession of Charles A White,
the legislator, whoso story about graft at
Springfield resulted la the Lortmer investi
gation. It was subsequent to testimony by
Edward Hlnes, that Henry 8. Boutell. now
American minister te Switserland, told him
President Taft would assist In the elec
tion of Lo rimer to the senate,
Mr. Hlnes had been placed on ths stand
today to tell about . visits be paid last
winter to K. H. Gary, R. 8. Lovett, suc
cessor to E. H. Herrtman. J. 8. Bachs Jk
Co., and others In New Tork. Nona of
these visits, the witness claimed, had any
thing to do with ths Larimer case.
Mr. Keeley said what he knew about the
Hopkins' story was obtained from Clif
ford Raymond, tbea representing the Tri
bune at Springfield) and Ira C. Copley,
representlve In congress from Aurora, III.
Ha taatJfied thai CharlM VliW
other Chicago newspaperman at Spring
field, came to Raymond during the legis
lative sesion In 1909 and told him a story
which Speaker Shurtleff had personally re
quested It be not printed. What Raymond
had told Mr. Keeley, the witness testified,
Raymond had been told by Wheeler, Mr.
Keeley said:
The Rayasoad Story.
"Raymond told mo that ths story was
that on a certain night. Speaker Shurtleff.
Dan Shanahan and some others, whose
names I do not recall. ' met In a certain
room in the St. Nicholas hotel In Spring
field, and that that meeting was caused by
a report being received, that a certain
man had come to Springfield to buy cer
tain democratic votes on a certain day for
Hopkins. ' .
"That Representatives John C. Werdell
and Anton Cedmak, were called In and
that Speaker Snurtleff told them be knew
what they were doing. That an attempt
was being made to buy democratic votes,
and ho read them a ' list of fifteen or
twenty men, who were to be bought and
tha prices that were to bo paid.
The Ust was headed by 'Manny Abra
hams, the 'Bellwether, I have been told.
Bhurtleff said, 'Now. we know what hi
going on, and you can't put It through.
If 'Manny' Abrahams votes for Hopkins
tomorrow, I will suspend ths roll and will
announce your names and win read ths
Ust of men to be bought. If you try that,
that Is what I will do.'
"That Roger Sullivan had been telephoned
to go to Springfield. His train was due
to arrive at midnight. Hs rounded up his
followers and told them he would blow
them out of ths political waters If they
attempted such a thing."
Moaey Takes to Sariagflela.
Mr. Keeley said Raymond told him this
story prior to the Liorimer election, and
that 128,000 or. $30,000 was reputed to have
been taken to Springfield, k, r
He then read from a memorandum that
on September IX. 1110,. Representative Cop
ley and John M. Glenn, came to bis office;
that Copley and Hopkins came from tha
same town and they "bate each other
healthily and viciously.".
The witness produced a memorandum of
what Copley had said. It was to ths effect
that "Daniel Byrnes, formerly of the Chi
cago Jk Northwestern, was ths man who
tried to put through the deal," and that
ths money had been taken to Springfield
by a resident of Wbeaton, 111.
Mr. Keeley testified that he had been
Informed that the Wheaton man was Fred
erick M. Blount. According to the memo
randum, Copley aJd he bad called upon
Governor Deneen and Deneen ' had agreed
to call In twenty of his republican allies
and If the democrats voted for Hopkins,
to have these twenty switch from (Hopkins.
Mr. Kseley said he sent a list of ques
tions on May t, 1910. to Hlnes and E. 8.
Conway, aaking about the liortmer contri
butions' Mr. Conway said be knew noth
ing about them.
Btaoa Decltaed to Answer.
"Mr. Hlnes," the witness said, "declined
to answer. He came to my office that
night with Mr. Wiehe, and aaked If this
list of questions wss a Joke, said be had a
reputation in Chicago and that these ques
tions were Insulting.
"He told me he would, sus mo for libel if
I printed anything that reflected on him.
I replied I would print ths truth and that
the Tribune building was worth 0,500,000;
if hs sued he might bo able to use It (the
building) In his lumber business."
Mr. Keeley said ha sent tha sams ques
tions to Roger Sullivan, explaining, "that
I had been his friend, but if ho was in this
matter, 'God help him' for I was going to
treat him just as I did ths rest, and I
thought tfce roof was about to cava in."
Mr. K alley Insisted that It was upon ad
vice of counsel that he had not told the
previous Lorlmrr committee about his
knowledge of the story that Hines asked
Funk to send a Lortmer contribution to
Edward Tilden. Senator Kenyon suggested
that, a partner of Mr. Austrian, Mr.
Keeley's counsel, was counsel for Tilden,
and for the whisky Interests, which were
reputed to bare contributed to a "jack
pot." Mr. Keeley said hs did, not doubt
Mr. Austin's Integrity. He said ths exis
tence of a corruption "Jackpot" was com
mon gossip.
