to the public gaze the inner history Of his
official life for several years past-exl

effects, denied in toto the charges imput-
ing to him corruption In Office.

Decision OF the Committee
was Favorable to Judge
C. j. Campbell.

F In executive session held late last night
after the conclusion of the regular hear
ing, the Committee for Courts of Justice,
sitting in the Campbell investiga ton, de-
clded on split vote to allow to Judge
Cam pbel orders on the State of Virginia
for the expenses of sixty-three witnesses,
only thlrty-seven Of whom have been used
pnd only forty of whom We're originally
permitted the defense. The witnesses will
come at the rate Of about SIG each-a
total expenditure of something over $1,000.
The decision of tho committee, 1t is
understood, was by no means unanimous,
Chairman Southall Is said to be among
those who We're strongly opposed to the
proposition of footing the entire bill. At
the request of the committed Judge
Campbell hlnlsef was present to make a
statement, The vote, when taken, was
divided, though Just how could not be AS,
ccrtained.
Only forty witnesses We're allowed to
Judge Campbell by the committee. When
he came he brought slxty-three, or these
sixty-three only thirty-seven have been
used. An average Of sic each for the en-
tire sixty-three Is what the committee be-

The able and brilliant counsel who has
been a center of attraction throughout
the Investigation, was questioning his cli-
ent closely with regard to certain matters.
Finally. Judge Campbell had occasion to
remark that one of his questions was a
rather broad one, and Major Conrad
promptly replied that it was intended to
be broad.
'.Ar. Campbell" he said. turning in his
seat, II am examining you here on the
same assumption from which ! started
out IL, this case, and that is that You
are absolutely innocent of all these charges
against y6u-that there is no color for

pothesis. So you see the danger you are
in. T am assuming that you are innocent.
II you are not, that is your fault, and
not mine.''
Such a remark from a counsel to LIS
! client in such a cause was regarded by
many as remarkable. and 1t caused much
comment yesterday.
