The judiciary committee has removed the
seal of secrecy from the evidence which it took
in the Woods case. and examination of that
evidence shows that ali the charges made
against Woods have been proved, and the won
der is how he was ever confirmed, even In a
partisan republican senate.
Noble c. Butler. clerk OF the U. S. court at
indianapolis testified that after there had been
one mistriaI in the case against Coy Bern
hamer and Others. a second indictment was
presented, and Judge Woods told Butler that
lie (Woods) had drawn it with his own hand.
In court motion was made by the attorneys
of defendants TO quash the indictment and

acting as both judge and prosecutor was not
known at the time. When Butler was asked
how Judge Woods came TO make this admis.

HE said to one day in his room: Il
suppose you have some idea about who drew
that indictment? The question seemed to
invite but one answer, and l said / supposed
he had something to do with it, and he said he

first case was in the handwriting of the district
attorney. while that in the second case was

having drawn this second indictment and
given it to the district attorney to be
copied. Other witnesses testified that
they had seen the typewriter indictment
but did not know by whom it was written,
though the fact was brought out that District
Attorney Sellers himself could not work a
