taken up with the examination OF several
bank clerks, who had been subp9naed
10 obtain some particulars as TO the bank account
OF the Judge, which, II Is said, the committee was
astonlshedrtO find comparatively small. Mr.. w. q.
Barrett. uncle or Judge Barrett, was then put on
the stand, and renamed under close examination
until about four p. NJ, when Mr.. William +. Howe.
the criminal lawyer. was brought IN and queslQDed
on the particulars OF cases IN which he was officially
concerned that came mp before Judge CardCzO.
MI. Howe occupied the attention or the committee
until shortly before SIX when thev took recess
until hal1-past seven. During the afternoon several
other witnesses were waiting for the summons Of
the committee, VINO did not appear to aware that
they could have any other business to occupy their
attention.
Shortly before eight O'Clock p. M. the investiga-
ton was resumed, and Judge Barrett nut on the
Tor about an hour, wnen Messrs. Howe and Hummel
were called once more The meeting adjourned at
hali-past ten O'Clock p. NJ until this morning. Mr..
Plumb, the Recording Clerk OF the County Clerks
ONCE, was in waiting all day, but did not receive
