Effort TO Remove Judge Loring.

Boston, Feb. 2O-The hearing of thu petit
TONERS for the removal of Judge Lorirg was
held before the legislative committee this after
noon. 1t was contended by the counsel ior the
petitioners, j. Webb, jr., Wendell Phillips, and
c. NJ. Ellis, that it was necessary, under the
Constitution, to alege misconduct in Office as
cause for removal, but they only argued unfit
ness for Office, upon the demand of public opin-
ion and the interests of the community.
Loring, disregarding the rules of evidence in
the Burns case, and the manner of conducting
the trial by prejudging it and informing the
claimants of his intended decision before u'aking
it public, make him unfit for the Office of Judge.
The dislike of coming in contact WITH Mr..
Loring officially was also claimed as sufficient
ground for removal, as the sentiments Of the
most eminent jurists of the State, as expressed
in the convention of 1920.
There was great crowd in attendance, who
at times applauded the sentiments of the lpeak-
ers, Notwithstanding efforts to prevent it. No
one appeared for the remonstrant, and the fur
ther hearing of the case was postponed for one
week.
