OV, HUGHES has appointed Rich- ard L. Hand, of Elizabethtown, to| i take testimony on the charges Mr, Hand is a well-kibwn lawyer, former president of the Bar Asso- ciation, an oki sdhool Democrat, and removed by temperament and associations from corporation .poli- tics. ; The investigation before former Chief Judge Andrews, who re- signed, had reached a most inter- esting stage-in certain testimony re- garding the relations of the Met- ropolitan Railway Company to the judiciary. ~ This is. a matter which should be thoroughly probed. It has been rumored for years that certain great corporations virtually pur- chased the nominations and elec- tions of certain judges. The names | of these judges and the names of | the corporations are well known to @imost all lawyers and to many litigants. Both the making of political contributions by a corporation and the making of judicial contributions by a candidate are prohibited by law. Judges’ statements for a series of years have been that their expenditures fwere nominal. In the face of the law and these affidavits rumors continue current, | not only as to the names of the judges, but purporting to give the exact | @mount paid for their nominations. against District-Attorney Jerome. It is reported that there were contributed by certain imsurance inter- ésts $69,000 to secure the nomination of one judge. It is reported that a certain other judge’s nomination cost $72,000. It is reported that there is in existence a Metropolitan check for $15,000 which was turned over to Mr. Charles F. Murphy after having been indorsed by a man who is now a judge. Detailed rumor extends to court clerks, jurors and other officials connected with the administration of justice. | There is no higher crime than the prostitution of the administration | of justice. No offense strikes so vitally at the roots of free government as either the corruption or the corrupting of the courts. If it is proved that any of these rumors is a fact, and that Mr. Jerome knew about it and failed to act, his offense is more heinous than any fail- ure to prosecute a mere money thief whether high or low.
