Damaging Charges Made.

2 Washington, March 25.-s... Resolved,
That Charles Swayne. judge of the
district court Of the United States in
and for the northern district Of
Florida, be impeacbed fer high mis-
demeanoy.p
This is the recommendation OF the
house committee on the. Judiciary to
the house. in report Of the commit
tee fled today by Representative Palm
er of Pennsylvania, chairman OF the
committee which investigated the
case against Judge Swayue. After dis
cussing the charges in detail against
Judge. SWaYne and giving the findings
In each case, the report concludes as
follows:
ft tUpon the whole case Ii is plain
that Judge Swayne has forfeited the
respect and confidence of the bar of bis
court, and of the people of his district,
who do business there. He has SO con-
Quoted himself as to earn the reputa-
sion of being susceptible 60 the malign
influence Of a man Of notoriously bad
character. He has shown himself to
be harsh. tyrannical .nd o. pressive.
unmindful of the common rule of a
Just and upright judge. He has con-
tinuously and persistently violated The
plaiu words of statute of the United
States and subjected himself to pun
ishment for the commission OF high
nisdemeanor. He has fined and i'm
:prisoned members Of his bar for con-
structiye contempt without the au-
thorisy of law and without decent
show of reason either through mex
cusable Ignorance. a malicious intent
to iniure, or q wanton disposition to
exercise arbitrary power. He has
condemned to term Of imprisonment
in the county Jail. reputable citizen
of the State OF Florida over whom he
had no jurisdiction, who was guilty
Of no thought Of contempt OF his
court, for no offense against him or In
the presence Of the court, or in OBJ
struction OF any order, rule, command
or decree. And after the accused had
purged himself on oath.
For all these reasons, Charles
.Swayne has been guilty of misbeha-
vior in his Office Of Judge, and grossly
violated the condition upon which be
held this honorable appointments. The
honor of the judiciary, the orderly and
decent administration of public Justice
aud the welfare of the people of the
United States demand his impeach-
ment and removal from the high place
which his conduct bas degraded"
AS to the charge that Judge Swayne
is non resident of his district, the
report concludes:
From the testimony in the case
your committee find that Judge Swayne
has never acquired legal residence in
the northern district of Florida, nor
has he actually resided there, as re-
quired by the act of congress. -

F. Cody Buffalo Bill made de-
position before notary in this city
today in the action for divorce which
he has begun In Big Horn county,
Wyoming.
Mrs. Cody tried to poison me three
years ago, the colonel testified.
s.She had frequently threatened to
do it. We were visiting in Roches-
ter, N. Y, during the holidays Of
1900 and the day after Christmas l
was Ill supposed the turkey and
plumb pudding did not agree with
me. She said she would fix me up.
She pretended to give me medicine.
Is was poison. It almost finished
me. for l was unconscious for some
time. I think it must have been an
overdose, for it made me vomit and
suppose this saved my life.''
Col. Cody reIated many. instances
Of his wife's having bumiliated him
at his "former home" in North
Platte by her conduct toward his
guests.
stShe drove my friends away" be
said. '.When they were no longer
welcome in the handsome residence
built and elaborately furnished, it
was no longer my home.''
The witness recited many specific IN
stances Of bis wife's alleged discour-
tesy to his guests.
Mrs. Cody's counsel inquired into
the character OF the guests to whom
she objected, and into their conduct
while at ber home. The purpose Of
the INQUIRY was to show that the men
whom he brought to the house were
a fast and riotous set and behaved lr
such manner shat she had right
to object to them.

In the time OF Cicero, there existed IN
Rome a famous trng edian and poet named
Androncus& Ono day he found himself
before a great audience with cry bad
cold and before he had finished his de-
clarnaton he became so hoarsc he could
not be heard. He supplcaled the people
to allow a slave to recite the verses, which
he would Illustrate with proper facial cx-
preston and gesture. His request was
granted, a flute player accompanied the
recitation of the slave and Andronlcus
fitted facial expression and gestures to the
words.
According to Livy and Valcrlua Maxi
mus, this was the orogin OF pantomime,
which later gave to the world the clown,
harlequin, pantaloon and coumbine, the
central figures Of pantomimic spectacle
today. Tho Roman public. greedy OF
novelty, accepted this saylc Of perfor-
nance with great avidlty and from that
time, 70 rmany years, no other form OF
public entertainment had chance to be-
come popular. After the death OF Ros-
