A G00D COURT RECORD J The impeachment of Judge Swayne brings to light some facts thet speak well for the men who occupy federal Judgeships this gountry. ‘The avernge federal judge deals with big tesues He rubs el- Bows with great corporations.

Since the beginning ‘over 1,000 judges have sat in federal courts. ‘Yet the Swayne case ia the first In which @ federal judge has for- mally been accused of dishonesty.

One federal judge was impeached and removed from office for @runkenness. Another was disgraced and removed for disloyalty wo were impeached, but not convicted: one on political grounds and the other for arbitrary and iMega! conduct. ‘The proceedings against Judge Swayne are the first of their kind ince the impeachment im 1976 of General W.
