Judge Campbell On The Witness
Stand.

Stand.
Judge Clarence J. Campbell OF
Amherst county, went on the
witness stand in his own defence
last Friday. For six long hours
Judge Campbell, sat and, under
oath administered by the Com
niittee for Courts Of Justice, before
whom his record is being investi-
gated, laid open to the public gTzo
the inner history of his official life
for several years past-explaineg
the motives which actuated him,
set forth in detail the causes
behind the effects, denied in toto
the charges imputing to him
of corruption in office.
The Judge made an excellent
witness, and as questioned by
NJ Ajor Conrad, his counsel, he took
up specification after specification
of the charge against himself and
gave his account of affairs in
Amherst. He was graphic in his
description Of the horse whipping
of DR.. Crawford, holding the
whip which he used on the min
lister in his hand and demonstrating
how he had used it.
"Have you ever taken a drink
of whisky in Days drug store2''
he was asked by MAJOR Conrad.
"Never since ] have been Judge
of Amherst county," was the
reply.
"Did you ever offer any one
drink in your ofiice9" his counsel
asked.
THAT is very broad question,
Major Conrad" he responded.
Wheeling and looking squarely
at the witness, Major Conrad
said:
Judge Campbell. l came into
this ease on the presumption that
you were innocent. If you are
guilty, it is your fault, not mine.
l intended the question to be
broad. l have nothing to conceal"
Judge Campbell then admitted
that he sometimes had taken
whisky to his office in bottle and
had given intimate friends drink
there. He never kept whisky
there, he said, and the testimony
that he gave "every Tom, Dick
and Harry" who came to his
office, a drink was false.
The direct examination of Judge
Campbell was concluded that
night, and progressed without
special incident. the accused Judge
keeping up the frank and vigorous
recital of his story. He was taken
in hand Saturday by counsel for
the prosecution, and the cross
examination furnished the climax
Of the investigation.
To give summary of Judge
Campbell's testimony on cross
examination is impossible. The
defense was done, and the rebuttal
was the next thing. The prose
cution had no rebuttal witnesses
at hand and a recess was nee essary. |
After statements from either side |
it was finally determined 10
adjourn until Wednesday evening |
today at s O'Clock. AT that time
the rebuttal will begin. Judge |
thinks he will get through |
with it in one day, but Mr.. Strobe
is doubtful. Twenty subpoenas
have been allowed them.

JOHN S. WISE VERY RABID.

The MiddleseX Club of Boston,
had its annual Lincoln night ban
quet at Hotel Brunswick, February
18th. The speakers included
Lieutenant Governor Curtis Guild,
Jr., and John S. Wise of New
York.
Mr.. Wise spoke on the negro
problem, saying that "feuds and
fighting between. the white and
cOlOred races in the South indi-
Gated that our country is rapidly
approaching fearful crisis.
Among other things he said:
"The white race is proud. The
black race is gentle, but it is not
below the worm. Some day here
in Boston you will read in your
morning papers of great organized
outbreak of blacks, numbering
white men and women, and how
the Infatuated whites are slaugh-
tering in retaliation. Whom will
you help-the whites? Then why
in Gods name have you encouraged
the blacks so long? Will you help
the whites? Then you will find
the struggle transferred, even here.
The nation must say to the South,
Either obey the constitutional
mandate and let the negro vote, OF
else submit to a reduction of con-
gressional representation
''This question: Mr.. Wise
asserted, sis the most living, burl.-
ing issue now before the American
people. A legacy of Lincoln, anC
it must be adjusted, because it il
most dangerous.

remarkable photographs ever taken

original photographs, taken from
opposite points of view, represent
1870 degrees Of the horizon, showing

distances in the scenery at this
historic point One of the photos is
taken at an altitude of $50 feet, on
Maryland Heights. looking down
upon the village. 1t not only takes
in the whole village but includes the
Potomac and Shenandoah rivers,
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and
portions of Maryland, West Virginia
and Virginia.
The other is taken from Bolivar

WILL NOTADJOURN BEFORE
SIMMER

The date of the probable
adjournment of the Legislature is
a matter that is entirely even
beyond conjecture, so chaotic does
the situation seem at this time.
Not d single report has been made
on any general subject of legis-
lation save that of taxation, and
that has not been disposed of by
even one branch.
1t will not get through the
House for ten days, and then it
goes to the Senate. There, too,
it's provisions will be earnestly
scrutinized, and it is not expected
to get to the Governor for at least
a month. Meanwhile little else of
a general nature will be done.
The report of the Roads Com
mittee on Corporations is about
ready, but, with the tax bill pend
ing, it will have to await its regular
order.
The report of the committees
for Courts of Justice is one of the
most important of all, and on the
House side it has scarcely been
touched, owing to the great deal
of tire taken up in the considera-
ton of the Campbell-Crawford
case.
Then, in addition to the report
Of the Committees on Counties,
Cities and Towns and others OF
general Importance, there are now
ending bills general in their
nature, which do not relate tC
conforming the statutes to the
new organic law, which will require
q great deal of time for considera
ton by both houses. One is the
natter of congressional reappor-
and the other is the
pure-elections measure,
and still another the various
oyster bills; so it will be seen that
should the body be there Sin the |
good old summer time" there will
be no cause for great surprise.
