DUTY ON LEMONS EVADED
Investigation of Complaint From
California Is Ordered..
NEW YORK. June 21. Three special
customs officers from "Washington are
pending the sultry month of June in
quiet waterfront observations at the
docks in Manhattan and Brooklyn at
which Sicilian lemons are unloaded.
The purpose of their visit is to inves
tigate reports that lemon Importers are
not paying the full duties on the fruit
which they import.
The duty amounts to 1 cents a
pound, but the Government gives a re
bate for the proportion of the fruit on
ach shipment that is deemed unfit for
consumption and which the importers
are supposed to destroy. The investi
gators have been trying to learn
whether the estimate of decayed fruit
is overestimated when the duties are
collected.
The proportion of decayed fruit has
been unusually large of late, according
to the customs returns. On many ship
ments from 25 to 30 per cent of the
cargoes have been reported as unfit
and rebates to that extent have been
given to the importers.
The importers say tnat tne increased
proportion of decayed lemons from
Sicily is due to unfavorable weather
affecting the crop in Sicily. They say
that zealous California lemongrowers
made the complaints which were the
immediate .cause of the inquiry. The
California growers', it is said, are try
ing to put an end to the giving of re
bates. If this is done, the importers
say the Californians would put up the
prices of lemons.

ABANDONS HIS DEFENSE
r Continued From first Ta:eO
latur told these men that he never
received a cent for his vote and that he
voted for Lorlmer for political reasons,
but after a conference this morning.
when the two came to Chicago to tes
tify to these supposed facts. On the
contrary it was shown that their testi
mony would help the case of the state.
State Impresses Witness.
Walter Shoop, another witness, who
bad been summoned by the defense, but
who was discarded in the eleventh-hour
conference, was caught by Mr. Way
man's subpena-servers before he' left
the city, with the result that he was
put on the witness-stand In the after
noon as a witness against, instead of
for, Browne.
Still another witness whose testimony
was found to be valueless to Browne, was
Lieutenant-Governor John O. Oglesby.
The official was subpaned to appear at
the morning session. He was not. seen
bv Brownea lawyers until after lie ar
rived in court. As soon as he was
found, however, he was notified that his
testimony was not needed and he wai
sent home.
Attorney W. S. Forest, who has led the
defense of Browne, has insisted from the
beginning that he is not concerned ma
terially over the outcome in. the Criminal
Court; that he has made a legal case for
his client to stand on in a higher court.
Fear Ascribed to Defense.
State's Attorney Wayman, however.
says that Browne and his lawyers fear to
allow the case to be probed further, that
even with their own witnesses they dare
not ehanoe an unexpected slip. Although
Mr. Wayman began his closing argument
to the jury comparatively early in the
afternoon, he had not finished when
court was adjourned for the day. The
prosecutor will finish tomorrow morning
and will be followed by the defense'
State's Attorney Edmund Burke, of
Springfield, 111., where State Senator
John A. Broderick. of Chicago, is under
indictment. ' charged with buying -votes
for Senator Lorimer, was an interested
spectator in Judge McSurely's court
while Mr. Wayman delivered his argu
ment.
"You gentlemen may live to see cor
ruption grow deeper than has been
made manifest in this case." said Way-
man, but when corruption is deeper
than Is clearly shown in this case, Illi
nois will -have ceased to be a state of
the Union.
Democratic Actton Suspicious.
"The fact that more than B0 Demo
crats voted for Senator Lorlmer, a Re
publican, shows in itself that there was
bribery.
"It was a - gigantic moment for
Browne, the minority leader, when he
tried to elect Lorlmer. . If he had
failed, what amende could he have
made to his constituents? As long as
he succeeded, the Democrats could go
back to their constituents and make
sort of apology.
"White and the defendant met In the
Briggs House, in Chicago. White goes
to the room of Browne, the day after
they arrive. Browne is partly dressed
and has not geot his coat on.
" 'Hello, Charlie, I've been waiting
for you,' Browne says.
"Browne then laid 17 50 bills on the
table and White picked them up. He
put thenv in an envelope and put it in
bis pocket.
"Browne said. Ton will need a safety
pin to hold the envelope secure,' and he
gave white a pin.
Belt Bulges With Cash.
- "Browne had on a bule belt, bulging
with money and White cautioned .him
about such a careless display.' Browne
touched a revolver and said he was not
afraid. Browne told White then that
he was going to the Southern Hotel. St.
Louis, to pay Lorlmer money to other
Leglsl ators.
"The only thing before Jurors Is
whether Browne paid White I860 in the
Briggs house here in Chicago. Bronwe
paid (1000 to Link and Beckemeyer in
St. Louis, because it is no crime to do
so there. It Is out of the jurisdiction
of Illinois. The laws of Illinois do not
extend to Missouri, so he could not be
punished for what he did in St Louis."
Immediately after the unexepcted an
nouncement that the defense rested its
case. Attorney Forest moved on technical
grounds that the-case be taken from the
Jury and a verdict of not guilty be re
turned. Judge McSurley refused the mo
tion. Many Counts Stand.
State's Attorney Wayman was asked by
Mr. Forest to elect on what count he
would ask the Jury to convict Browne.
Mr. Wayman declined to do so. Judge
McSurley refused to instruct the prose
cutor so to elect.
Mr. Forest said there were so- many
variations In the indictments that the
defense could not prepare Instructions to
the Jury. Judge McSurdy told Mr. Forest
to prepare the instructions for the de
fense. Mr. Forest accepted the court's
refusal to define the issues In the case,
and asked for 24 hours In which to pre
pare instructions of the defense after the
prosecution had entered theirs. This was
also overruled.
