looking over this mass Of testimony, that
the investigating committee has made
bunglng job OF the business it hao In hand

not properly interrogated or were more
prejudired than honest.
AS TO the charge of drunkenness against
Durell, some were kind enough 10 testify that
they had not seem him drunk, but others
avowed that they had. One lawyer describes
the conduct of Durel. in bowbeating him, and
IN alternately refusing a jury trial in a case
and then declaring there sEoaid be a jury trial
which led this lawyer to conclude that if
Durell was not drunk he was laboriug under
some mental alteration. Another witness
testified that Durell was excited on the bench
that his face was read, and toat he had drunk
little too mncb. Judge John A. Campbell,
referring to a scene in court when he was en-

that he was drunk and made no reply" mean-
ing that he did not reply to the loud and in

of evidence, while not well brou yht out and not
properly digested, goes to show the utter un.
