Federal Judge Emory Speer of Ma- con, Ga., were presented today to the house fudiciary committee, whi post- poned deciding what recommendations’ it will make to the house. The majority report condemned many of Judgeé Speer’s acts compiain- ed of, but found them short of reason for impeachment, and held the case did not warrant further proceedings, That was the finding of Chairman Webb and Representative Fitzhenry. Repre- sentative Volstead, as a minority, held Judge Speér should be entirely exon- erated. The judiciary committee is expedted to adopt the majority report.

The sub-committee comprises Representatives ‘Webb, North C-lmlhm Fitzhenry, TIllinois, democrats, and Volstead, Minnesota, republican. Mr. Volsteag in a minority report, similarly declaring that there is uo evidence warranting impeachment, will attack the majority of the sub-com- mittee for criticising a judge they de clare not guilty of any impeachable of fense. Nineteen Charges Filed. Nineteen charges were filed with the committee. They alleged, among other things, that Jud‘og entertained matters bevond his Tourt’s jurisdiction, allowed excessive trustee fees to a per- aom.l friend, used his official position referment of his son-in-law, A. eywa.rd. abused his authority by estic use of government paid court employes, violated laws regarding drawing of jurors, and dissipated bank- rupt estates by appointing unneces- ury officials and allowing excessive sub-committee’s conclusions “The conclusion of the sub-commit- tee deduced from the evidence taken and from the construction of the pre- cedents of impeachment trials, is that at the present time satisfactory evi- dence sufficlent to support a conviction upon a trial by the senate is not ob- tainable. Conduct of Hearings Was Liberal. “In the conduct of the hearings the committee was extremely liberal and did not confine the witnesses to the giving of technically legal evidence. Much evidence of a hearsay nature ‘was received. The committee felt jus- tified in such a course in the light of the fact that it came to the attention of the committee that many witnesses were apprehensive of the consequences of giving evidence against Judge Speer. in the event of his acquittal. This feeling and the general disposition on the part of individuals to protect them- selves against what was termed the “wrath” of Judge Speer kept from the committee the names of the witnesses and a knowledge of the facts in thelr possession. Many of the witnesses whose testimony would be absolutely necessary to sustain some of tha charges made are dead. Others have removed from the southern district of Georgia and their unknown. Approached Condition of Tyranny. “Another phase of the record is that it details a large number of official acts on the part of Judge Speer which are in themselves legal, vet, when taken together, develop into a system tending to approach a condition of tyranny and oppression. There has beén an inequitable exercise of judicial discretion, many instances of which have been frequently criticised where the cases in which they were com- mitted have been reviewed by the courts of appeal, while in others lit- igants were unable financially to pros- ecute appeals. That the power of the court has been exercised in a despotic and autocratic manner by the judge cannot be questioned. The Jamison case is one of many instances shown by the record where the judge, without taint of individual corruption and with the apparently laudable purpose of purifying the com- munity and inaugurating a civic re- form, disregarded the law and appar- ently considered that the emd justified the means. Forced Pleas of Guilty, “The record shows instances where the judge, sitting in the trial of crim- inal cases, apparently forced pleas of guilty from defendants or convictions, and there is strong evidence tending to show that in one case, at least, he forced innocent parties to enter sucH pleas through a fear of the conse- quences in the event of an unfavorable verdict at the hands of a jury presided over by the judge in the manner pe- culiar to himself. “The sub-committee regrefs its in- ability to either recommend a com- plete acquittal of Judge Speer of all culpability so far as these charges are concerned, on the one hand, or an im- peachment on the other. 'And yet it is persuaded that the competent al evidence at hand is not sufficient to procure a conviction at the hands of the senate. But it does feel that the record presents a series of legal op- pressions and shows an abuse of ju- dicial .discretion which, though tuunx short of impeachable offenses, deman condemnation and criticism. “If Judgé Speer’'s judicial acts in the future are marked by the rigorous and inflexible harshness shown by this record, these charges hang as a por- tentous cloud over his court, impairing his usefulness, impeding the adminis- tration of justice, and endangering the integrity of American institutions.” STONINGTON Second Memorial Flagpole Set—Addi- tions to Loan Exhibit, whereabouts are On Monday the second of the me- morial steel flagpoles was placed In position on the plaza.

STARTING FOR THE WAR. l Benjamin Watson Describes in Diary Experiences of Colonel Harlard’s Soldiers, Following is an extract from the diary of Benjamin Watson of Plain- fleld (formerly of Voluntown), during the year 1861, when he was serving his country in the Eighth Connecticut regiment: The Eighth Connecticut regiment, to{ which 1 belong, was encamped at Hartford, Conn., some weeks before wa( started for the war. Our regiment | consisted of 964 men when, Oct. 17, we had orders to pack our knapsacks at 9 a. m., to leave Camp Buckingham. Supposing our destination to be Hanip- stead, L. I, we all fell in at the ceat of the drum and were soon in line. You could only realize by being present the soldiers hurrying to and fro, the gath- ering of spectators and the rattlin~ of : vehicles. The noise of the multitude reminds me of the old adage, “The eye | is never satisfled with seeing, nor the ' ear with hearing.” At 10 a. m. we were all armed and equipped as the law directs and have fallen in for roll call, and at 2 p. m. We are on dress parade. It is cloudy and very warm. The sun shines out occasionally, hot enough to remind Jeff Davis of his future home. At 2.30 | o’clock we are moving off the field with all our property—real and per- sonal—on our backs. We have left the Tenth regiment in the distance and I have not so much as cast a lingering look behind, for I am glad to leave Hartford. Orders to Colonel Harland. At 4 p. m. six companies of us are on board the Granite State, a boat that runs from this place to New York, and the other four companies are aboard the Mary Benton, that runs to the same place. One of our men from Willimantic fainted by the way, but is well cared for. Our equipage ron- sists of one woolen and “one rubber blanket, knapsack, haversack with ra- tions, canteen filled with water, mr-. tridge box, belts and musket. As we were getting aboard orders came to| Colonel Harland to go to Staten [sl- and, where we go, bidding adieu to old ! ‘Hartford. As we marched down Main street we were greeted by thousands of spec- tators from the sidewalks, doors and windows. They were givi us their well wishes by waving their handker- chiefs and their earnest looks spoke volumes. There was a large crowd: assembled at the wharf ready to re-| view us. One son of the Emerald 1sle | observed that the captain of the Eighth regiment was a fine looking man.
