Washington Officials Say an Appeal
by Mcmillan Will Make a Bad
Matter Worse.

A special dispatch to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat from Washington is
as follows:
Officials OF the department of just
ice are at a loss to understand the
action of Judge D. H. Mcmillan. late
federal judge of New Mexico, who
was summarily removed from office by
president Roosevelt on a charge of
gross immortality. Mcmillan has is
sued a statement, in which he asserts
!that there was a political conspiracy
back OF the charges. and that his re-
moval was unwarranted, and that he
proposes to ask for a congressional in
y~estigation of the case.
Officials of the department believe
ithat Mcmillan got OFF very easy. The
charges were made against him more
than a year ago, and were backed by
every attorney of prominence in the
territory. He vas given months in
which to prepare his defense, and, af-
tier the case had been practically
Iclosed, it was %re-opened at the request
Iof Mr.. Root, secretary of war, and an
jother hearing held, which was attend
led by Mr.. Root, Senator Depew and
|other New Workers interested in the
accused Judge. After hearing the tes-
|tlmony, Secretary Root declined to use
any further efforts in behalf of Judge
Mcmillan. Even then the case was
|alioWed to drag along for nearly three
more months before the facts were
reported to the president. When he
finally secured the data in the case he
Immediately decided upon the summa
ry removal of Judge Mcmillan. and
appointed his successor at once. In
the opinion of officials who investi-
gated the case, Judge Mcmillan should
nave resigned months ago, and any
attempt to reopen the case before a
congressional committee will only re.

command; and that these resources had
not been exhausted, since his police force
was in perfect control Of the situation.
He denied having spoken slight!ngly OF
his oath of office. declaring that only a
fool would do such a thing. These and
many other things he said. and when he
was done. 1t was almost a general conclu-
sion that he had made for himself a

Shortly after the Sheriff closed his state
mcnt the defense rested Its case. The
rebuttaI was very brief and there was
no sur-rebuttal.
Short Argument.
Yesterday afternoon counsel for all sides
argued instructions before Judge Sims
There was a very considerable difference
of opinion and no agreement was reach
ed. The defense, the prosecution and the
Commonwealth submitted instructions
and argued them. Then the judge took
them under consideration until this
morning.
There is reason to believe that the ar
eument will be brief. The defense Is
absolutely positive OF the acquittal OF Mr..

at all. Mr.. Smith made this statement
last night However that may be, neith-
er Mr.. Smith nor Mr.. Carter will feel 1t
necessary to say much, How the other
gentlemen may view the matter Is not
known but there will probably be no
protracted experimenting.
J, The argument will probably begin by
1870 o'clock. and from the looks OF
things now it may be concluded early in
the afternoon Mr.. Bryan will probably
open, Mr.. Smith and Mr., Carter will
follow, and Mr.. Meredith will close.

promptly at 10 o'clock, with Judge. law
