Inportant Evidence Given.

Chicago, Oct. 3.—A special dispatch to the Record says: “The Sangamon county grand jury, it is understood, has secured damaging evidence against at least one member of the house of representatives. It is learned on good authority that such evidence was given by Thomas Bunn, of Bloomington. Mr. Bunn is secretary of the Interstate Building and Loan association, and was here last winter in the interests of certain legislation pending before the committee on building and loan associations. He testified that he paid about SSOO in “attorney’s fees” to Representative Gibson for looking after some matters. He came here in response to a telegram and had a talk with Gibson about the legislation he wanted pushed and on Gibson's advice retained him as an attorney, paying him between S4OO and SSOO. Gibson was a member of the committee in which this-building and loan legislation was locked up.”
