Libel Affair.

At the opening of the impeachment court
Judge Page was continued by Mr.. Clough at
great length and minuteness, covering the
charges embraced in the last seven articles and
the several specifications made to the tenth
article. Mr.. Clough, in his cross-examination,
was very aggressive, and being given all the
latitude he desired, often slipped considerably
outside and beyond the bounds of legitimate
cross-questioning, The only exception in this
respect, was in reference to the lngmundson
charge, when Judge Page having denied any
knowledge Of the proceedings at which Mr.
lngmundson was nominated treasurer, and at
which he made his speech as to the one
man power Mr.. Clough introduced the
files of the Austin Register and the Austin Re-
publican containing editorial articles and com.
munlcatlons in reference to the proceedings Of
that convention. One Communication was
shown witness by Mr.. Clough with the inquiry
if he either wrote it or knew of its contents
or publication, to which witness answered pos
itively in the negative MIR. Clough then pro-
ter in evidence, to which Mr.. Davis made
objection, claiming that while counsel
had determined to offer no objection to
the extraordinary course Ut cross-examination
entered upon, this such an outrageous

tinued until four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when, after a few direct questions, he retired.
The next witness was VIM. Meighen who tes-
tilted relative to the kind Of charges Judge
Prge was in the habit of giving in Fillmore

Mower county as elsewhere.
Sterling Chandler was special court deputy
when Mollison was indicted. Witness proceed
ed to explain how Molison continually bowed
his head and subsequently attempted to speak.

Indicted. He was special deputy and arrested
Mollison. Mollison was greatly excited and at
first declined to go. He made numerous threats
against the judge.
E. 0. Wheeler was county attorney in 1873
and heard the charge to the grand jury. Did
not think the Mollison libel was alluded to.
The judge only spoke in his usual tone of
voice. He then described Mr.. Mollison's con-
duct when the Indictment was presented sub
stantially the same as the other witnesses. The
Senate then adjourned.
