A jury was empaneled, an inquest held and a ver dict rendered to the effect that deceased came to his death from causes unknown. The remains were oburied near where dis- covered.

Hedges was the owner of many suburban additions, and an enormous amount of notes secured by mortgages on sales of lots were negotinted through the trust company and otherwise. He had built four-mile cable line to one of additions, and had other ex liabilities, He filed a general assignment at noon today, with a_statement ghowing liabilities of §90,000 and assets of $2,500,000, but the assets in many cases are purely nommal. His 1,720, shares of the cable railway stock are listed at $172,050, whereas the property fully covered by bonds.

Jud opened on behalf of the state with an eloquent and able discussion of the question hefore the court as to whether or not an ex- ofticer may be imneached. Taking up the historical “precedents, Judge Doane called the attention of the court to the fact that Warren Hastings had been impeaciied a year after be had been out of oftice: Lord Melville had been impeached by the English House of Commons and tried by the Ho of Loras, even though twenty-two years had clapsed after his alleged offenses had been committed The first impeachment in States, that of Senator Blount ble case beariug directly under discussion—Senator pelled from the senate peached. The major portion of Judge Doan ment, however, wa the United was a4 notu- upon the one now Blount was ex- and afterwards im- 'S Argu- based upon *he Belknap trial. He stated that Belknap's plea to the sdiction of the senate to try his case the articles of impeachment was elab- ovately argued by the very able attorneys on both sides for five days. While he admitted that the United States senate could not be looked upon in the light of judicial suthor- ity, yet he reminded the court that that body contained at that time some of the ablest statesment wisest jurists and most eminent attorneys in the country-—men whose very names would assure the country that their judgment would be the law of the lund Judgment of At the close of the five days' argument the seuate, by a vote of 87 to 20, declared that Belknap was amenable to impe ment, notwithstanding his . resignation, Senators voted for his impeachment who personally would have been glad to huve shiclded “him from the ignominy of u trial und who were bound to him by party ties and by personal friendships:and yet they took a higher view and recorded their earnest conviction that his plea against the juris. diction of the senate was not well grounded Judge Doane quoted at length the ovinion of Judge ‘Churman and other ¢minent senator ail of whom argued in favor of the juris- diction, He then attacked the proposition of the defense and claimed that if an ex-officer can not be impeached, then the court would be at the will of every officer aguinst whom impeachment was brought, for such an ofticial, by resigning _his oftice, could escape the penaltics of his misdemeanors. The sawe lino of argument would enable every man indicted by a grand jury for crimes com- mitted while ‘in office "o escape trial by pleading that the indictment had been drawn after his term of office bad expired. Under the same assumption onc ofticial might be impeached, tried and convicted for crimes and misde- meanors committed during 4 previous term while a man whose term had just expired but who had participated in and shared the benefits of the crime and misdemeanors could escape trial misent Statesmen. r.

Taking the alrcady much discussed Belknap Ames contended that the counsel T placed an entirely erron tion upon the action of the in overraling the official's plea of tion. While it was trae, he said thirty-seven senators voted to over- rule the plea and but twenty-nine to sus tain, the trial proceeded because of the action of the president of the senate in rul ing that, while 1t required two-thirds of the sennters to convict, & simple majority could overrule a plea fu jurisdiction. e claimed that the only true measurc of the sentiment of the senate on the question of jurisdiction was to be found in the final vote, when more than one-third of the senators arose as their names were called and voted “uot ruilty,” all of them making the specifi declaration that they based their vote not upon the merits of the case, but upon belief thut the senate had no jurisdiction to try the case tor ex followed Judge Dounc with He took the ground that the only guide for th stitutionof Neb constitution should it reads on vided nt caso sl be its that first 1 be ext that of the all civi ers of o impe all civil suprenie supreme no provision which private eous senite jurisd that Ohjects to Eng Precedents. R. D. Stearns, also one of the attorneys for ex-Auditor Benton, closed the argument He contended briefly that there could be no possible misconception of the express lan juage of the constitution. It had been held that the constitution was grant of power to the legislature, but a restriction of the powers of the legisliture. The langunge of the corstitution yzas plain and not at all ambiguous.
