I reported the following conclusions
flrst-That upon the general charge of habitual
ihtenlperance the evidence conflicting, but the
\ prepondefance was in favor OF the defendant and
we DO not consider the charge substantated.
] second-Ihat while there was direct testimony to
I the erect that Judge Hatch had been seen under
the influence Of some smulant on two or thee oc
esions during his present term of Office the test.
nhony failed to show that he had ever been under
me innuence OF drink to such extent as to
capacitate hm from transacting the business of his
ofhce, and this conclusion is confirmed by the rec
ords ana calendar, which show that the business of
ms Court has been kept up and that of nine cases
Appealed 70 the higher Court seven were affirmed.
Ihird-The charge of corruption was withdrawn
fourth-The charge of drunke mess upon the
bench was not established
Tour committee IS therefore Of the opinion that
wmie the evidence shows that Judge Hatch uses in
toxicalng liquors to extent still not sufficient
to warrant the State TO interfere In other words
there are not sufficient grounds TO justify mpeach
ment- We recommend therefore that no further
proceedings be taken in the premises
