batteries. The Michigan Is due in New

SCORED OHIO BENCH.
Sensational speech by Judge Blandin in
Burke Case.

Cleveland, Ohio, November 28.-After
hearing the testimony of several unim-
portant witnesses in the proceedings
against State Senator Burke today, the
attorneys for both sides announced that
all their witnesses had been expected and
that they were ready to begin arguments.
Attorney johnson opened for the Bar as
sociation and Attorney Koran followed
for the defense Ex-Judge Blandin made
the ssosing argument for the prosecution
Judge Blandin arose to speak, as every
one supposed, in support of the charges,
and in defense of Judge Dellenbaugh. In
stead of doing that the judge did not at-
tempt to aftrm or deny the truth of the
charges nor did he attempt to defend
Judge Dellenbaugh. He made bttter
and sensational attack on the whole bench
of Cuyahoga county. He said he knew
the risk he was taking but That he did
not care. For some time the ex-judge ana
mem bers OF the bar, who listened to
Blandin's passionate uttsrancss, stood
amazed az his daring Then they broke
into cheers When Judge Blandin finished
they cbeered and clapped theiI hands
again and again.
Judge Blandin declared it was the
bench which needed reforming first; the
elimination of rotteness should COM
msnoe with the bei:ch he said. He went
into details and did not hesitate TO say he
was til lng ABOUT Judge Walter Q. Ong
and j j L. *. Dissette. He said il
was comparatively insignificant thing
whether Judge DellenDaugh was i'm !
peached and driven from the bench or
whether Vernon H. Burke Was disbarred.
1t is more important, hs declared, TO
cleanse the bench of the county so that
property, liberty and life may be safe in
the hands OF the seven men constituting
the court 1t was one of the most sensa-
tional speeches ever made by lawyer in
Cuynhoga county.
The trial committee then retired to con-
siuer the testimony. A decision may not
be reached for several days.
