The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-04-07


came. You can not prove conspir-
acy by the declaration of a co-conspir-
ator. McCord said that Finley was
the only man who approached him on
the subject of the receivership and he
intimated that he desired it himself.
In the Cotton Belt receivership
Herndon got $4,000 and Geo.
Clark and another firm got
an additional $4,000 besides this
a solicitor in st. Louis got $4,000.
Now, physicians, heal yourselves!
Campbell was paid less than the
average allowed in such cases.
H. M. Whitaker was a candidate
against Felix j. McCord at the last
election and McCord beat him in
every county except Whittaker's own
county. 1t seems that Judge McCord
stood as well as Whitaker. But you
say that these things were done
by Federal judges and 1 reply that
there are judges ON the Federal bench
which compare favorably with any
men. Now as to Finley's $4,000.
Finley resigned without being urged
by any one, and before anything def
mite was done about the compensa-
ton. After he resigned, Cochran,
who was an attorney on the other
side, suggested that Finley should
have a liberal compensation, and
named $4,000 as good
amount. Herndon agreed to it
and Whitaker was there and said
nothing. McCord then entered an
order in accordance with the agree
ment. What do you think of man
who would censure a judge for enter
ing up an agreed Judgment? No
lawyer ought to do such thing. No
honest man can afford to do such
thing. Now as to the appointment of
II. M. Campbell over the protest of Jay
Gould and others. McCord said
that he thought two receivers were
needed. The evidence shows that
Bonner was in bad health and contin-
ued so until death ended his suffer-
ing and the services of Campbell was
needed. L can point to where receiv-
ers have been appointed in chambers.
None of these parties came into court
and asked that any of these orders
should be reversed. When you wipe
out the personalities in this case there
is little left.
They say that because Judge Nc
Cord erred in the construction of a
statute he is unworthy to hold his Of
flee. Another bubble is that Eddy,
one of Gould's men, was made one OF
the receivers. What difference does
that make? If he was a good railroad
man and an honest man, why should
he not be made one of the receivers?
If it was corrupt to deposit money
with Bonner q Bonner the
Longview bank and the
Mineola bank where was he TO place
it. They say shat McCord did wrong
when he promised to have one firm
of Tyler appointed local attorneys for
a firm in New Orleans, now L submit
that if you had been worried as much
as McCord had been, you would have
been sorely tempted to promise some
thing. There is one of two things for
the Senate to do either address Judge
McCord out of office or adopt
the majority report. Do not sit here
and criticise him. In all candOr a
men and senators you ought not to sit
here and criticise a Judge But it is
said that McCord said Damn the
w, L
never heard of it being a mortal Of
Tense for Judge to cuss. / admit
that it is bad habit, but if there
ever was an instance in which a man
would be justified in swearing
McCord certainly was. If it is such a
crime, where would you be, senators?
Let he who is without sin cast the
first stone. Whatever McCord did he
was censured for it. If you will read
the record l do not hesitate to say
that you will adopt the majority re-
port"
When the speaker finished he was
warmly applauded.
THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The Senate sat with closed doors
for over an hour yesterday. Every
one was as dumb as an oyster when
the session was over but from intima-
tions and mods and winks and
snatches of conversation and such
remarks as 81 told you So" 81
said L would do it" and
the like, it was gathered that an ex-
ceedingly lively time was had over
the appointees, and it is safe to say
that those fortunate enough to remain
within the sacred circle witnessed a
veritable love feast. Upon very cred.
liable testimony it may be said that
they came very near securing the
scalp of Sam Dixon, but by
dint of effort it was saved. That they
declined to affirm the appointment of
w. X. McGill of Baylor as Judge of
the Fiftieth Judicial district is
strongly limited, and that there was
so much opposition made to that of
w. l.. Barker, as superintendent Of
the Southwestern asylum, as to
necessitate the holding it up
for the time is almost
certain. Hollingsworth's appoint
ment was passed pending investiga-
ton.
The excessive use of grease and oil
in dressing the hair is common er-

many cases of deficient hair and bald

by the hair, which in a healty state

moisture. When this is objective the
