Judge Archbald
Is Convicted
(Continued from First Page.)
As the roll call proceeded sixty-eight
senators rose slowly In their places and
pronounced the word "guilty" In low
tones.
As the vote on the first article was
announced, Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, moved that the senate go Into
executive session. He said that he be
lieved that a vote on the other counts
might be dispensed with or abridged by
secret deliberation. Senator Culber
son, of Texas, and Senator. Poindexter
objected that the senate could not vote
on the articles In executive session.
After some discussion Senator Smith
withdrew his motion and the clerk
proceeded to read the second article.
Senator Bacon, who had presided
throughout the impeachment proceed
ings, asked to be excused from all
votes unless his vote was necessary to
a decision. On the second count Sen
ator Smith, of Georgia, also asked to
be excused from voting.
Before the first article of lmpeach
mnet was read. Senator : Kern, . of In
diana, Senator Dillingham, of Ver
mont, and Senator Bradley, of Ken
tucky, asked to be excused from voting
because they had- not been present
throughout tho trial.
They were excused. Senator Clarke,
of Arkansas, was excused from voting
on all articles which charged Judge
Archbald with wrongful acts before he
was elevated to the commerce court:
Senator Tillman was excused from
voting on all articles except the first
and Senator Jackson, of Maryland, was
excusfed from voting jon;jJl:articles.
He entered the senate since the trial
began." " "

STARTED IN 1912.
The impeachment proceedings against
Judge Archbald were started early In
1912 when complaint was made to the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
later to Attorney General Wlckersham
and President Taft that Jildge Arch
bald had been concerned In influencing
railroada'to grant him certain favors
in connection with coal land deals and
the settlement of cases involving coal
properties.
The house of representatives called
upon President Taft for a copy of the
charges against the commerce court
Judge, and in May, 1912. It began an
investigation, through the judiciary
committee, which ended in the recom
mendation that Judge Archbald be Im
peached. Scores of witnesses testified to the
house judiciary committee before it
adopted the articles of Impeachment,
and the majority of them again gave
their testimony before the senate dur
ing the trial that has Just closed.
The house voted to impeach Judge
Archbald July 7, and the impeachment
was laid before the senate July 15.
The trial did not begin, however, until
December 2. The charges accused him
ot having used his Judicial Influence
to secure favors from railroads that
were litigants or possible litigants be
fore him: of having accepted favors
from lawyers who practiced In his
ccurt and of having been guilty of
other misconduct aa a judge. Judge
Archbald admitted practically all of
the facts as to his neroMatlons for
culm properties, but In eczh case he
maintained that the business negotia
tions were Innocent In themselves and
that he had not In any way misused
his Judicial power or rendered himself
subject to impeachment or indictment
under the law.
Briefly stated, the thirteen charges
brought against Judge Archbald were
as follows:
THE CHARGES.
First: That he influenced officers of
the Erie railroad, then a litigant in his
court, to grant him a favorable option

a settlement between the Marion Coal
Company, of Seranton, and the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road of a case then pending before the
Interstate Commerce Commission on a
basis that would have given him a

the interested parties and did not ex
pect compensation for his work.
Third That he attempted to Influ
ence the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany to relinquish a lease on packer
No. 3 near Shenandoah, Fa so that
he might lease It on favorable terms
from the Glrard estate of Philadelphia

tions for this property Involved the ex

officials but grew out. of an attempt to
operate on adjoining coal property.

correspondence with Mr. Bruce was
only to clear up a disputed bit of tes

ultimate decision of the case.

Frederick Warnfce, for which Warnke !
gave him a note for $500. Judge Arch

pany and asserted that the note given
him by Warnke was payment for cer
tain other coal properties In which
Judge Archbald had an Interest.
Sixth: That he tried to Influence
officials of the Lehigh Valley railroad
tc buy an interest In 800 acres of coal
land belonging to' the "Everbard heirs."
Judge Archbald denied this.
Seventh: That he settled an Insur
ance suit In favor of W. W. Rislnger,
j of Seranton, and accepted certain gold
i mining stock from Risii-ger. Judge
Archbald declared the stock was not a
reward for his decision but collateral
given him to protect him on a note he
had signed with Rislnger
Eighth. That Judge Archbald at
tempted to have a $500 note discounted
by C. Q. Boland and W. P. Boland,
litigants in his court. He denied that
he had authorized having the note pre
sented to the Bolands for discount.
Ninth. That he permitted the same
note to be presented to C. H. Van
storch. a Seranton attorney, then prac
ticing In his court, who discounted it
and that Judge Archbald had. Just pre
viously rendered a decision in Van
storch's favor. Judge Archbald denied
that hi3 influence as a Judge had any
thing to do with the discounting of
this note.
Tenth. That Judge Archbald ac
cepted a trip to Europe at the expense
of Henry ,W. Cannon, a director in
several railroads. The defense was
that Mr. Cannon was Mrs. Archbald's
cousin and that the trip was an ordi

cepted at the outset of this trip a
purse of $500 raleed by Seranton attor

swered that he knew nothing of the
collecting of this purse until after it
had been presented to him.
Twelfth: That Judge Archbald ap
pointed as Jury commissioner In the
middle district of Pennsylvania J. B.
Woodward, a railroad attorney. His
answer was that Woodward was .-

and that the method of Jury selection
was such that no undue Influence
could be exerted by a commissioner.

had sought to obtain credit from and
through persona interested In suits in
his courts; that he had carried on a

"We expect the legislatures of

the treatment the women there re

We might have demanded a recount

up at the April election when the
country vote Is also strong. The
country vote has carried suffrage
against the city vote in every state

had municipal suffrage for many
years, which proves that women do
use the suffrage when they have it.'
