both JUDGES intimately for years. Both were
now attending to their duties, and were as
bright mentally as before their recent Illness
McGlashan said, as one of the committee, he
thought this kind of testimony had gone on
about long enough. He did not think it adyis-
able to pile up any mere of this cumulative evil
dence until the other side put in some testi-
mony. If the latter had no witnesses then it
was useless to proceed, Cor the committee could
make up their report from the Yoluminous testi-
mOny already in.
Judge Miner said other witnesses from San
Francisco had been subPenaed and they should
be allowed to testify and be relieved from fur

Said he failed 10 discover any difference in their
mental faculties since their recovery. He fire.
QuenNy held short conversations with them and
detected no weakness in their mental powers.
In the case of Judge Morrison the disease seemed
to have spent itself at the base of the brain, aud
his intellectually was uuimpaired. Judge
Sharp TEN seemed to be the same man intel
lectualIy that he was prior to his illness his
reasoning powers do not seem 10 be in the least
impaired. He had detected no symptoms OF
soiiening of the brain in the case of Judge Nor
cine as well as of law. There is not the slightest
indication of brain disease in Judge Sharp1tein
So far as my observation rs a friend
and my knowledge of medicine goes they
are both mentally sound. The evidences are i'll
favor of Judge Sharpstein'S absolute and COM
plete recovery. Don't think either of the
Judges are in the least mentally disqualified by
their age or present physical condition.
