ARTICLE XIII.
On the 18th of January saw Judge Cox on
the street in front of my office in st. Peter in
such a condition that he would fail to take
the train for New Ulm, where he was to hold
court on the following day. / went to the
train, but Cox did not put in his appear
ance. Next day the trains were suspended
on account of snow blockade. saw him next
day on the street, In no condition to transact
any business. spoke to him about my case,
but the Judge treated it as matter of indlffer-
ence. Walking along the street he remarked
that he would sign any order Ladd IL Stone
would wish.
After few minutes recess Manager Hicks
requested that the evidence of the foregoing
witness be made applicable to article 10, and
further that they will not press any further
investigation upon articles 6, Is, 16, or specif-
cation 6 of article II
Continuing, witness said he (witness) did
not 90 up to New Ulm. did not testify be-
fore the committee of investigation that the
train next morning was on time and that
Judge Cox was drunk and neglected to
take the train; if SO I intended to qualify it.
On the day Cox should have been in New
Ulm saw him in the afternoon 10 front of q
saloon in st. Peter.
Mr.. Arctander, reading from witness testi.
mony before the investigating committee and
his present testimony, witness admitted in the
former there were great many inaccuracies,
particularly the running of trains as he has
since learned; in fact, he claimed his testi-
mOny was SIMPLY his impression, and not
matters of fact.
F. L. Morrell, sworn: Formerly attorney at
law at Redwood Falls. In practice from 1879,
and was present at June term of court, 1880,
at Redwood Falls. Saw respondent drink
liquor once at the noon recess; whisky was
called for in a saloon; it was warm day, and
the Judge had flushed face and was inclined
to vivacity and joking, and his coming
and going to and from court with certain law
yers that did drink led me to believe he was
drinking more than usual; at the same term
IN the latter part of 1t, an entertainment at
the Methodist church, only short distance
away, made so much noise that the judge, on
his own motion adjourned court. At another
time he was intoxicated. He called one of
the counsel fool, or words to that effect. In
fact from the second day after Senator Wilkin-
son arrived and during the whole term of
court the judge began to show himself under
the influence of liquor till its close.
1 was present at the term of court held
in New Ulm during July and August, 1880.
Mr.. Arctander here moved to strike u, wit
ness evidence already given under Art. XVII,
and nothing further be taken, since it is al.
legged in the specification of Art. XVII. that
the occurrence took place June 1, when in
fact it took place Aug. Z. Yeas and nays be-
ing ordered, resulted yeas s, nays 16.
The hour of 5 p. m. having arrived, court
then adjourned.
