to which all are looking with keen an
ticipatiou.
THE MORNINO SESSION
Si
Judge Campbell Grows Anlmated at
Times?The Evans Affair.
The -tatpected cross-exiunlnation of the
fiefendant drew forth a great attondance
ln the morning, and when the session be
gan thera waa not an tnch of room ln
the house to sparo. Great munbers stood
throusrhout the long day and seemed not
fatlgued.
Major Conrad openert up with a shot
at tho newspapore. He said lt had been
etatcd In the mornlng's paper, which he
vba.d near him, tha ton the day prcvloua
he grew lmpatlont, "I ccrtainly wa-s not
oognizant of tho fact," he declared. "lf
I was Impatlent I beg tliat the commltteo
?wlll pardon mn. I hope everybody wlll
cor.slder himself apolosized to."
Judgo Campbell took tlie stand agnln.
ow, as before, he was emincntly calra
and collected. Some of thls calmness dc
parted before, tho session ended. The wlt
?ess frequently grew luilmated, to say
the least. Now. however, ho appeared
utterly indifferent to the curlous eyes
peerlng at him.
SOME DIRECT EXAMINATION*.
Beforo he permitted the cross-exami
natlon of tho wltness to procc-oil. Major
Corad said he wished to ask lilm soma
more questlons. He thought he was
through last night, but lie ftnds that he
oiverloolied certain minor matters. Then
li& went into those matters:
"Somcthlng was said here about your
hablt of carrylng that ridlng whip. I
wish you would state to tho committee
lf you took tliat whip thero to thrash
that old gentleman, or why you, too lt."
"Of course, I di<3 not take lt thero for
that purpose. Since I have owned my
form, and slnco I had an accident some
time ago v.'lien I injured my laieo, I
havo been ridlng horseback a good. deal
to and from court. I frequently carry
a iittle whip."
"Had you over taken that whip Into
court before?"
"I thlnk I havo."
THE "PRKSCRIPTION BOTTLE."
"Now, passlng to another matter?you
?"uavV'licard llie testlmony of Mr. So.ii
dfge, who says you loaned him n pro
Bcrlption bottle which he got filled, and
from which you and others in your of?
fice took ii drlnk;. It was also stated by
Mr. Burke that you said you kept iho
prescripUon bottle for your frlneds. Now
totl me what. If any, of thls is true."
"When dld Mr. Snndigo say it oc
curred?"
"ln 1000." ,
"Well, gontlcmen, Ihe statements are
not correct. lt was true that I dld rep
resent Mr. Sandlge's wif.i.'aud tliat Mr.
Eiindige came to my oflice wjth several
witnesses to take depoaltlon. * ? ? This
occurr&d on November 18, 1SDS. ? ? * I
have the depositlon here nnd I will read
enough of them to flx tho caso at thls
time."
"I really don't thlnk that Is necessary,
Judge Campbell," said Chairman Routh
lUl once or twlco as tho witness wa.s go?
ing too elab'oratly into details. "Just
statg whoiii you examined on that day.
JandMf thero was nnd other tlmo when
they were examined by Vou."
"The witnesses nientlonexl by Mr. San?
dlge were examined by me ln Novembor,
1?0B. Then how say there wa.s anoth-T
case. I-.ndmlt tfiero waa another cr.se
ln which Mr. Sandige was lnterested. but
thero wero no rieposltions Inkeir and
there was no meeting in my ofllce."
"Mr. Sandlge an<l tho others havo tcs
lifled that you had a bottle, Ono. snys
It was a bottlo; another says it wa-i
a whiskey bottle?a third says It waa ,i
"prescrlption" bottle, which you kept
for the benoflt of your friends. "What
*bout thls?"
"Gcntlemen, as I said. the witnesses
met In my ollice and I took their depos
lUons. When we were through Mr.
Bandlge said soniethlng about compen
XatJng the wltnosses for their troublo.
With tho cxceptlon of ono or two ne
fToes, perhaps, they docllned to be paid,
and Mr. Sandlg-c said he would get them
?. drani lf he hnd a bottle. He turned
to mo e-nd asked me lf I had any whis?
key. and I replied that I had not; that
I dld not kec-p any in my ofllce. He
then asked If I had a bottle. I replied
that I dldn't know, but I would look
and see, Hunting nround I found a.
bottlo. which I gave to Mr. Sandlge.
"That's all. Thero was absbluttly noth?
lng said about any prescrlption bottlo
which I "kept for my friends.' "
"Dld Mr. Sandlge get the whiskey?"
"Tes. sir."
"Dld you drlnk any of lt?"

THE BOY WHO TUM3LED.
Mr. Otto Evans hns made here the blunt
assertlon that I klcked hls fathor?an aged
man?ln the faco. I want to mako an ex?
planatlon, and I feel that 1 have a rlght
to do so. i want tho newspap'ers to prlnt
it and 1 want It to go Into tho record of
this Investlgation. "?*.'?' 1 wlsh to say
that my personal relatio'ns wlth the Evruis
family havo been very dlsag-reeablo. In
18P0 I did klck Mr. Evans' father, and klck
him ln the mouth, but it was hls own
rolsiortune. lt camo about ln this wayj
Mr. lCvans?tlio old man?had asplratlons
for Congress and he was a correspondent
In my paper. Ho used the oolumns of
tne Amherst Now Era to attaclt Harry
Tucker, whom I was aupportlng. He
would prlnt a lctter in my paper and l
would ans-wer lt, either ln an edltorlnl or
a parallol colunm, or so on. ' The corre
sp'o'ildence bocamc very spicy. Finally Mr.
Evans wrote a particularly hot le.tter, and
I wroto a hot reply. Then, wifhout say
ing anything more, hc went into the vll
lr.se and stuck up a notice rlenouncing mo
as a cur, scoundrol and siich llkc. I went
lo him and ln very empliatic language,
cbaraoterlstlc of me when I am exclted,
I told him what I thought of hlm?that
If it was'ii't for his old age I would sl.-ip
his head off, He went away granibllng.
Thr- next day the Oounty Aliiance met, and
Mr. Evans got up on tho tloor and again
denounced mo as n scoundrel. Ue could
not ba stopped, nnd as I v.eat around I
caught him by tho shoulders and shool?
him. From tha way he aeted I thought
ho was going to cut me. I klcked hlm
oway from me to keep him from doing
fo. ? I klcked hlm ln tho mouth and I
loiockcd out four teeth.
'?\Vhen Mr. Evans went homo mlnus hls
teeth his son, Otto E. Evans. got a pistol
and started out to avenge him. * ? ?? Mu
tual friends wero eent lo tell mo that lf
I didn't apologize at once Mr. Evan3, the
son, would shcot me on night. I refii.s?d
to npologize, and I told them to tell Mr.
Evans so. A day or two al'terwards Mr.
Evans met mo and threw himself into
tho attitudo of one who Is about to draw
a plstol. In selt-defonso I shot hlm?shot
hlm twlce. I was tried aud ac<|tiltted.
"At another timo I drow a knlfe on Mx.
Evans, and It was well for mo that I
did so. Mr. Evans Interfered ln a private
eonversation and threatened me, I drew
my knlfe and told hlm 1 would cut hlm

"Mr. Chairman, the matter about whicli
I am lnqulrlng was brought out yester?

were not hero then nnd you don't ltnow."
"Yes. It was," said .nr. Slpo from tho

noss can't ba cross-examlned about It,"
"I dldn't know that," said Mr, Sotithall.
"You may procood, Judgo Campbell."
"Well. tho facts wero theso: B. B.
Campbell rcslgnod and Governor Tyler
appointed mo to succocd him. Senator
Ma.sslo, who askeil him to appolnt me,
lold th-o Governor that half the bnr waro

But tho people wore for me. Governor
Tyler made tho nppolntmcnt, ind some

"1 know that. Judgo Campbell, but
wlint 1 want to know Is thls: Is lt not

"Tliat ls not a proper question, Judgo

Somo llttlo dlscusslon followect. and
Judgo Lovlng said he would suspend

"Is lt not true that at the tlmo you
were clected to the Judgeshlp?"
"if that ls about the same matter,
Judge Lovlng, I thlnk tho committee ls
pretty woll ogreed that lt la out of or?

"I wish it Alstlnctly understood by
Judge Lovlng and by you, gentlemen of

"But wo are not wtHlng," aald the

"I thlnk I can show that the questlons

ABOTJT THE ASSAUXiT.
"Dld you ride to tho eoiirthous-e. e>n the
24th of June, tho day of the assault?"
"Yes, idr,"
"Ride horacbacJcf*'
"Yes, sir."
"Where dld you tle your honeaT*
"In front of my ofllce.'*
"Whore dld you then goT"
"Into the office.."
"Did you go from th* oflie* ta the
court?"
"I dld,"
"Your papera, ywtr grtp, oaaie and
other thlng were carriod then from your
ofllce to the court?"
"Yes. sir."
"Was ll your purpose after tha case
to como back to that point and get your
horsa?"
"I had to come to Richmond that eve
nlog and I dldn't Intend to go back to
the ofllce. but merely to get on my
horse and go stralght home."
"Yo-u said that when you come down
out of court after the trall you wished
to avold the crowd You gteppod a few
feet osldo and stood where all the exowd
was."
"1 cared nothlng about the crowd All
I wanted to do was.to get out of Its way
and get somewhere where I could talk
to Mr. Turnar."
"You made the statement that whlle
you wero Just turnlng to go away you
saw Judge Mann coming out. Wasn't
lt Just a fow moments before that you
parted from Judge Turner?"
"No. alr; as 1 went by him ln the
coui-t room he said sometlilng pleasant
Tliat ia all."
"You said that when you were telllng
Judgo Mann good-by you saw a hand
poked at you. and that lt was Dr. Craw
ford's. You further sold that where he
oonie from God only' knows. When you
tumed to go to Judge Mann wcren't
you ln plaln view of Dr. Crawford and
you of him?"
"When a thlng ls ln plaln view to you
you see lt I dldn't sea Dr. Crawford, so
he wasn't In plaln view."
"Was there any obstructlon ln the
way?"
"If you call a hundred or two people
pourlng out of court room an obstruc?
tlon, then there was an obstructlon."
Judge Campbell tharoupon relterated
hls statment concernlng the position In
which he was piaced when the assault
occurred.
"Mr. Turner has aald," continued
Judge Lovlng, "that he aaw your trap
there that day. You say you came on
horseback."
"Had what?" asked Major Conraa,
turnlng around suddenJy.
"Hls trap."
"A trap?"
"Hls buggy."
"Oh! I thought somebody had set a
trap for Campbell," said the Major With
a laugh.
"It was hls own trap," said Judga
LOVillg.
"Mr. Turner was mLstaken about tha
tra.p," paid the wltness, "and he haa
acknowledged to mo that he was Incor
reet. I came to tho courthouse on horse
hack. I went to the depot In b trap. Mr.
Turner got the two times mlxed."
TIIE WniSKEY" MATTER.
"Tou say, Judge Campbell, thnt In thfl
trln.l of tlie Smith cases, that upon the
Informntion coming to your knowledgo
that ono of the prosecutor3 had given
the Jurymen whiskey. you are of the
Impresslon that you granted n new trial?"
"I dld believe so two weeks ago. T
linire examined the records since and find
that I dld not grant a new trial. I gludly
make tho corr^.ctlon.'
"Is lt not a fact that the Stipreme
JTJDGE BROWT? LISTENS.

ground for a new trial?
"I thlnk so. But I iuveatiuated the mat
ter and declded that tho case had not

"It has boen testirk'd here that Carter
said he got tho whiskey In Amherst?"
Ho said, "down the strcet." He dldn't

"Now, Judge Clampbell. In vle<w ot thla

of whiskey, wasro't thla a flne chajice?
whon Caxter aald he got some "down tbe

"Maybe lt waa, but It waa Oommon

the lnltlatlve. Mr. Evans waa there
and he made ao move. I ajn not a
prosecuting attorney."
'Ts that your Idea of the dutlea of a
Judge?"
"lt Is certalnly my Idea of the duty of
a Commonwealth's-attorney. 1 don't
know whether you or ajiybody else will
agree with me, but I don't lntend to per
forni the work of Mr. Evans. I didn't
think so then. I wouldn't do lt then
and 1 won't now, not lf lt coats me my
Judgeship. I tried to be Commonwealth's
attorney once and waa defeated. They
didn't let me be CommonweaJth's-Attor
ney then, and I won't be Common

"Did you aot, nevertheless, conslder
yourself prosecuting attorney ond Insti?
tute proceedings against Mr. A. D.
Beard, oommissioner of the revenue?"
"I did, but at the time Sir. Evans and
I were not on speaking terms. Had we
been I should have submltted the case
to hlm.''
CALLED TO ORDER AG-AIN.
Something waa said about tho Inten?
tlon of Judge Campbell to slt In the Day
case, and then Judgo Loving went on
to Interrogate tho witness wlth refer
ence to tha tseleetlon of tho Jury to try
hls case In Amherst.
"Did you not object to one man on
that jury. on the ground that he was
your personal nnd political enomy?" '
"Yes, sir, a.ud I'll tell you some more
about that if you will call tho name ot
tlie jurymim?I will tell you what I aald
about hlm."
"Ahl tliat ls not necessary."
"Face tho music, Judge Loving, and
let':- have his name."
"I'll faco the muslo all rlght, Judge
Campbell. I Just didn't want to stop
and talte up timo. Mr. Strodo will look
ln the rocord and find the name.''
"All rlght."
"Meanwhile we will go on. In aplte
of the faet that you didn't think a Jury
man should slt in your caso becauso ho
was your political and personal enemy,
didn't you lntend to slt ln the ca.se of
A. D. Beard, whom you bad donunced ln
your papor aa your political and personal
enemy?"
"No, sir, You nnd Mr. Strode were at
torneys for Mr. Beard. If you had mado
tho slightest suggestlon that you ob
Jected to mo I should not havo sat ln
tho caso. Nobody ln Amherst county
can say that I will slt ln a case when
tho person Interested objected to mo,"
The colloquy between Judge Campboll
nnd Judgo Loving became protty sharp
here, and Chalrman Southall rapped sev?
eral tlmea without order.
"Turn ln the dlrectlon of the commit?
tee, Judgo Campbell," snld Mr, Southall,
"and don't look at Judgo Loving. 1
think that will havo the desired ef

Judgo Loving arose to get a drlnk of

"I ruess Judgo Loving will start me

"I am posltlvo thnt. ho said IL"
Mnjor Conrad oxpressod a deslro to find

"Judgo Campbell, you ..>-ard tho testl

reason to believe that Judgo Wood. had
sympathlon in favor of you?"
' "1 dld not."
"Dldn't ho exprcss sympathy for you?
"ICot oxactly. Moro of regret nt tho
octurrcnco than of sympathy." .
"IIo says he cxpressod sympathy.'
"I nm not responslblo for what he said
or thought. I am spoaklng fur Campbell,
and not Wood."
?Then Judge Wood was mlstaken?
"I dldn't sny that. 1 merely said thnt

TRIPS IN COUNTY,
Judgo Lovlng hero went on to ques?
tion tho witness olosely about hls rcln
tlons to Judgo, Wood. Judge Campbell
aald ha had nevor promlsed the Flu?
vanna Judgo to support him for the cir?
cuit bench. Ho was very cmphatlc In
hls statoments ln. thls partlcular. The
cross-oxamlner then went on to tako
up another of the statoments rnade Fri?
day.
Boforo your trial on tho charge of aa
sault-dol undorstand that you said you
dldn't as* any of your friends and
chacquers lo be present at the trial?"
"Yes, sir."
"Do you recall a trlp over tho county
Just before tho trlol?"
"I may have' made such a trlp. I fre
auently go about the county. I have a
considerable law praetlce."
"You dou't practlco law in the country,
do you?"
"Yes, sir, I get my practlco and
kecp lt by visiting my cllenta."
"You don't remember Just why you
took thls partlculor trlp?"
"I do not."
"Do you remember a partlculor trlp
yau made to Pedlar District?"
"I mav have gono to Pcdlor."
"Why?"
"I am lnterested ln the people of Pedlar
and I frequently go there."
CAMPAIGN APFAIRS.
"J-tevertlng -io June SO, 1900. Judge
Campbell?do I understand that you said
no money or whiskey was used by your
side ln tho Flc-od-Lovlng campaign at
that tlmo?"
"I thlnk money and whiskey were frce
ly usod on both sldes."
"On the Flood sldo, you mean."
"No, sir; I m?>an on the Lovlng eldo ns
well?on your side." (
"That's all news to me."
"Mr. Bowen has tastltied that he gave
voterB drlnks, and on your authoiity
bought whiskey for use ln that electlor.?
that ha took a Jug of whiskoy to you
offloe."
'Tt ls all absolutely untrue."
"Dld Mr. Bowen drlnk any whiskey?"
"I have heard that he was for Flood,
but drank Lovlng whiskey."
Hot questlons were then fired at the
witness about tho lnfluence he exortert.
or ls sold to havo exertcd. over Fomi
stove factory hands?not cltlzons of the
county?ln brlnglng them in to vote.
Judgo Lovlng wanted to know lf Camp?
bell had given these "lllogal voters"
money. Chairman Sotithall rul-sd that no
chaTges had been made about money and
that ho could not proceod ln thls connec
tion. Judge Lovlng replied that. he pro
posed to show that the votr-rs bought
whiskey with tho money. The witness
declared that he dldn't even know
whether or tiot the stove factory men
had over voted in the electlon.
MEDICATED WHISKEY.
The old question of "medlcated" whis?
key came up hero, a.nd Judge Campbell
was asked again about the instructlon
he gave to tho jury with reference to
tho sale of this whiskey. The Judgo said
pracUcally what he said last night, trat
the term "medlcated" was used by him
In a Jouc'ar way. Tho term had bfe*n
colned by an old polltlcal frlend who had
used lt conslderably ln local optlon elec?
tions. By "medlcated" whiskey, the
witness said, he meant whiskey used for
medlclnal purposen, not a prctext, but on
a genillno prescrlptlon. One drop of
laudanurn in a bottlo of whiskey would
not make it "medlcated." Thla would
be an ovasion of tho law,
"Isn't an lnvaslon a very casy thlng
under your Instructlon that 'medlcated'
whiskey mlght be sold?"
"I beliovo that in Its wtsdom tho Leg?
islaturo Invested a certatn amount of
confld&uce in tho physiclans. Whon your
physiclans are right your prescriptions
and medlcated whiskey wlll b? right.
When tho physiclans are wrong the pre?
scrlptlon and medlcated whiskoy will bo
wrong."
"Now, Judge Campboll, was r.ot thal
a mlsleacUng Instructlon of yours al
lowlng tho nale of 'medlcated' whiskey';".'
"I gave the Instructlon. I dld It, and
I dld what I thought was right. Aud
another thlng?I nevor gave an Instruc?
tlon to a grand jury bofore I road Uio
law ln full for tholr benelit and guld
anco"
"You read tha law? What law?"
Judge Campboll read from a compllatlon
of rovenue laws, and said he had also
glvon tlie Jury the law from tho Codo
and the Acts of tho Goneral Assembly
Just what sectlons ho could not remoiu
ber. The witness waa queslloned close
ly by Judgo Lovlng, but ho called a
halt.
"Don't try to gat me mlxed up," ho
said. "You mlxod Judgo Wood up on
clvll aud crlmlnal law."
Whon Judge Campboll was through
Judge Lovlng himself aros? and roud
tt statuta whloh tho witness said dld not
apply In the caso of Day, becauso one
came bofore the other,

marked the- cross-examiner, as he pro- j
coeded to read another statute. "That I
covers tho whole thlng." ho declared,
when he reached an end."
"When two statutes aro ln confllct tu |
these two are," said Judge Campbell, ;
"I chooso tho one lost past. I dld that ;
ln tho caso of Day."
"Wbereln do tho statutes confllct, Judge j
Campboll?"
"1 don't want to appeor rldiculous, and
I can't go Into a dlscuaslon of the lega!
aspects of Ihe matter on thls short no
Uce, when I haven't seen tho two sta?
tutes for a lor.g time. I must decline
tr> answer tho question. II the com?
mltteo wants to force me to answer tho
commltteo will have Lo give me time to
look at tho laws-"
"That's all right, Judge Cam-'?
"Wait untll 1 got through, Judge Lov?
lng." '
"I Just wanted to rell"'-'.- you."
"I don't want your rchef."
Major Conrad plc-.t-d hls hand on the
should-sr of the witness. who seemed to
bo gettlng exrited.
"I Just wanted to say-" began Judge
Lovlng.
"I don't want a.r.y relief, I said?"ltt
me alone."
"Well, lf you don't want any relief why
go aheid."
"Judge Campbell," said Mr. Soutliall.
"the committee don't cure about tbe con?
struction of tho law. All we want to, knnw
ls what Instructlon you g.v.-a the Jury?
what law you read to them."
"I was about to say, Judgo Campbell,"
said Judge Lovlng, "that we aro not In
a hurry about the matter. You can walt
untll we come back here next week bo?
fore vou answer my question."
ABOUT THE LAUDANUM.
Proceedlng, Judgo Lovlng asked the
witness If lt wasn't time that the State
law was deslgned to p-revcnl the sale of
Just such whiskey as he called "medJJ"
cated."
"I say that a drugglPt haa a right to
use aleohol ln medlciqo "
"Of couise, but you said you told the
jury that flve drops of laudanum in a
pint of whiskey was sufflolent to make
lt medicine. Dc you take the position
that thls ls not a rlolation of the law?"
"I do not, because it would bc a viola
tion of tho law. I don't remember ghing
the foroman of tho jury any such llliis
tratlon. I don't say I dldn't use the
languago, but. If I did, It was ln somo
other connectiou. I couldn't have said
lt otherwise. because lt aln't thr law."
CHECKED THE WITNESS.
After some conslflerable questlonlng
with reference to Day and tho witness
who testifled asair.st hkri ln Amherst?
some of which witnesses Judge Campbell
c-haracterlzod as ex-jail birds and ex-con
?i-lcts?Judge Lovlng askod one rnofe ques?
tion about tho Board matter. lt had
been charged by tho witness that Beord
had not aasossed himself and hls partner
Harrison to tho full extent requlrcd hy
the lav.-. The cross-examlner nor; wish
od to know why somo uctlon had not
been taken against Mr. Harrison as well
as Mr. Beard. Judgo Campbell declared
that he had lald tho matter beforo th#
grand jury. that It, waji their buslnilss ty
Indict Harrison, Beard and <>verybody
elso who mlglit be connectod ln the af?
fair. If Harrison was not Indloted, it
lay with tlie grand jury. Somo Indlca
tlon was given by tho witness of an in
tention to speak of the grand jury.
"Will gentleinen of tho committee-"
began Mr. Strode.
"Of c<*ui'fcp, ho can't revoal what hap?
pened ln the graiid jury room?what con
slderutlons led tlic Jurymen not to Indlot
Mr. Harrison. I ngroe.wlth Mr, Strodu
entlrely. Please take noto that I check
the witness."
ABOUT SANDIGE.
The matter was dropped at thls po'nt
and Judgo Lovlng went off in another
dlrectlon.
"Y'ou say that the occasion tostlflofl
here by Mr. Sandlge happened ln 1888
and not ln 1003, and that you wero not
then Judge."
"Yes, sir." , '"??
"You said also that tho statement of
Mr. Sandlgo with referonco to what, hap?
pened in your otliee was substantjally
correct'.'" ., , ,
"Eecept In referonco to the "prescrlp
tlnn' bottlo. That waa altogether incor
rect. I wish lo explain, too. My office
has threp rooms. Freqnantly friends
dro'D in und ask tc> go into or.c of these
rooms to talk. I lot them do so freely.
Froquontly l havo found bottle,s?on one
occasion, I am frank to say, that I found
as many as threo. Whon Mr. Sandlge
asked for a bottlo I turo&d around and
handed him ono of thesei "
"Wero th.ey 'prescrlfitlon' bottles,"
askod a menibcr of the commltteo,
"Thoy were not. I ijevor eaw a 'pre
.scrlptlon' bottlo there."
P STRONG QL'EHTIOX.
"Now, Judge Campbell," said Judge
Lovlng, "I want to ask you a quest on
which you need not answer untll the
commltteo passes upon II. And before
tho committee passos upon lt I wish to
bo heard upon the matter. Thls Is tha
question: Although not Judge of Am

agrr-ornr;nt ho was to reslgn and you
I wero to tako hls pla*o?"
"Don't answer that quostioo." called
out the cha.rman.
[ "Now, Mr. Chairman." aald Judgo Lov*
; lng. rliiing, "l want to say somothlng.
I lt is true that thls goes back bcyond tho
I date of Judge Campbell's entrance upon
I otilc-a, at which pomt the commltteo haa

I We proposo to prove that before tho

| ho know he was soon to be Judge, and
that wh"n he reaJJy afterwards becama
Judge h. cloted hls eyes to thls knowl
tdgo of thrt vlolation of the. law."
Major C^nrad arose.
"Giintlemen." he eald, "I don't know
what chargeti mlght have been brought
agaln.it Judge Campbell or wlll bo
brought In the futuro. Ho stands ber*
j to meet thoso which have beon brought.
' Others mlght havo been brougtu, but
| they were not." Major Conrad sat down.
"I thhUc tiie question ls altogether out
of order," said Chairman Soutball.
"Very well," naid Judge Lovlng. as ho
fell back ln his seat.
i Hq was through with his cross-examl
! natlon.
MR. STRODB TAKES A HAXD.
Mr. Strode now took a hand. Tha
witness announced that ha had Just re?
ceived news of a death ln hls famlly
and that he would have to go home on
j the night train. He hoped the com
I mittee would get through with him with?
[ out adjournlng for dinner. Mr. Strode
> said he boped to get through ln a short

? promlsed to do eo.
I "I thlnk, Judge v^rapbell," began the
young attornoy. "that you claim some
credlt for the Issuance of tho warrants
against Day?"
"I have said that lt was at my sug
gcetlon that tho prosecutlon sworc out
warrants."
?'Dldn't tlioy try before to vatnly get
Indlctmcnts against Day ln your court?"
"Not valnly. They certainly tried,
and they dldn't succeed. That, how
ever. lay between tharo and the grand
Jury."
"You said that you told the people ln
tho church to swear out warrants becauso
lf Day were Indicted In your coUrt you'
would havo to certlfy the case back to
a maglstrate for trial. dld you not?"
"Yes, sir."
"That the caso would have to go to
the maglstrate and that lt mlght as well
begln there?"
"Yes. sir."
"Isn't lt a fact that your statement ot
the law was Incorrect and that you dld
not have to certlfy the case back to th?
maglstrate; that you must then and thero
empanel a jury and try tho case lf Day
i\f-re indicted?"
?'rtn^'the case of Mr. A. D. Beard did you

"I dld not. but I want to say that H

Mr Strodei "The point to wu.ch you
