Committee Adjourns Without De-
Gliding Wendenburg
Case.

The Executive Committee of the City
Bar Association held another meeting
yesterday in the Federal building and
completed the taking of testimony in the
case of the Association against Attorney
u. O. Wendcnburg on the charge OF UNI
professional conduct in connection with
some cases tried before the United States
District Court at Norfolk.
The committee adjourned late In the af-
tcrnoon TO consider the request OF Major
Charles S. Stringfellow, of counsel for
MIR. WendenburE. to be allowed TO argue
The case. No date WAS fixed for another
meeting, and it will be subject to the
call of the chairman.
The witnesses examined yesterday were
Hon. George E. Bowden, clerk of the
United States Court ct Norfolk; District
Attorney Edgar Allan, Postoftice lnspec-
tor Bulla. and Janitor Roberts. of the
Norfolk Custom-House.
1t is understood that the testimony OF
Mr. Roberts was 10 the effect that he
had heard Judge Waddi!l tell Mr.. Wen
denburg in Norfolk not To take advantage
of the order Of the court in order TO
gain the release of The prisoners of which
he was counsel.
While the hearing has been entirely Sc
cret a we'll known lawyer expressed the
opinion last night that the prosecution
had failed to make out its case and that
the result would be q vindication for the
attorney He based his calculations on
Information he had received from differ
ent sources. and said it was to the effect
that the evidence Of several of the most
important witnesses had been conflicting
in its nature.
Mr.. Wendenburg has all along been
confident of vindication, and while he
declined TO discuss the case last night
st was evident that he had lost none OF
his confidence in the outcome.
When the committee shall have deter
mined the matter now under advisemcnt,
as to whether or not there shall be argG
ment, another meeting will be held
and the result announced.

NORFOLK ELECTION CASES.
Three Judges Acquitted aud Oothers TO Be
fried.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

Especial Dispatch to lhe 1lmes)
NORFOLK, Dec. 3o.-The trial OF the
first three judges charged with fraud before
Police Justice Taylor. ended Saturday
night at o'clock in their acquittal.
Ihe magistrate, In rendering ms de-
c.sion said there wers three charges
against the accused:
i That Trower and Fearer had failed
to open the polls on time. The magis-
trate was of opinion that therein they
had acted legally, as they had no IN
formation to the effect that the tnlrd
Judge, Keeling, would not serve
2. That the three Judges suspended
the election to eat breakfast. While
this might be a technical violation or
the law, the magistrate thought he
would have done. the same. ana SO ne
dismissed that charge.
3. The charge of corrupt and wilful
de;ay in finding names. The magistrate
said one man was voted every two min
utcs. or sS5 votes during the day-this
allowed one minute to find the name
and one minute to prepare the ballot lie
thought this reasonable and therefore
would acQuit the defendants on thls
charge also.
The election cases were continued To-
day, when the judges and clerks of cleo
ton at the First Precinct of the Fourth
Ward were arraigned before Police Justice
Taylor upon the charge of committing
fraud at the November legislative cleo
ton, including being privy to the stuffin5
of the ballot box.
The defense insisted upon proceeding
with the trial, but the Commonwealth
allesin. that some material witnesses
could not be present, secured continu-
ance until January.
The defense then said that Judge Brook.
o, their counsel, would probably be en-
gagged on that day, attending to his du-
ties as a. member OF the Constitutional
Convention, and they might later have TO
ask that the case be again continued
nrobably until January 18th.

Firing a gun in the dark is consider
