JUDGE TORRANCE
DENIES CHARGES
DECLARES ACCUSATIONS OF
INTOXICATI0N FALSE
Hack Driver Tells of Occasion When
He Thought Defendant Was
Under the Influence
of Liquor
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Feb. THE assembly
committee that is inquiring into the
charges against Judge E. S. Torrance
Of this city concluded it's labors so far
as the taking of testimony in San Diego
is concerned, at a late hour tonight.
The day was almost entirely occupied
by the defense, only one or two wit
nesses being called by the prosecution.
e. f. Goddard, a hack driver, who
was summoned by the prosecution, was
the first witness of the day. Goddard
told of an occasion when he thought
Judge Torrance was under the influence
OF liquor. Goddard said that on that
occasion he drove Judge Torrance to
the home of DR.. r. M Powers and
later brought him back to the business
portion of the city.
A. H. Sweet, president of the San
Diego Bar association, was called and
testified along similar lines as the wit
nesses for the defense called yesterday.
He had never known of Judge Torrance
being on the bench while under the in
fuence of liquor and did not believe
that Judge Torrance's judicial abilities
had been impaired.
Walter S. Buchanan testified that he
had seen Judge Torrance on the morn
Collier, jr., testified that he had seen
Judge Torrance under the influence OF
liquor. The witness stated that he
did not believe that Judge Torrance
was intoxicated on the morning in
question.
Frank A. Salmons also met Judge
Torrance on the morning in question
and was firmly of the belief that Judge
Torrance had not been drinking.
Mrs. Thresher testified the same as
the preceding witness. She rode short
distance on the street car with Judge
Torrance. There was rain falling and
Judge Torrance, under the impression
that Mrs. Thresher did not have an
umbrella, rendered her the use of his.
Mrs. Thresher was sure Judge Tor
rance was not under the influence of
liquor.
Judge Torrance look the stand III
his own behalf. He denied that he had
drunk any liquor on July 81. the date
on which a witness testified that the
Judge appeared to be intoxicated. He
denied that he had ever engaged in a
boxing bout in saloon but said he re-
called an occasion when, in jocular
way, he attempted to knock off a
friends hat. Judge Torrance also de-
MED that he had used language deroga-
tory to the Christian church, although
he recalled expressing his opinion about
hypocrites in the church who had been
active against himself. He also denied
that he ever intimated any prejudice
against Jews.
Concerning Messrs. Mills and Collier,
who testified that they saw him intoxi-
Gated, Judge Torrance said that those
gentlemen and himself were not on
good terms. He had no knowledge of
the matters to which they had sworn
nor as to their Impressions Judge Tor
rance also contradicted the testimony
Of other witnesses who had testified
against him.

PUBLIC SIGNS OF MOURNING.
So Common i'm Washington that
They Lose All Meaning.

So Common i'm Washington that
They Lose All Meaning.
The trappings of public woe exhibit
ted in the national capital have become
something of nuisance Years ago,
whenever an eX-Cabinet officer died.
the department to which he belonged
was draped with black until it seemed
that the nation was in horrible grief.
Congress finally took charge of this
and passed law preventing the drap-
ing Of public buildings as a mark of
mourning. In those days, also, it was
customary to close department upon
the announcement Of the death Of an
ex-Cabinet officer, and also upon the
day Of the funeral There has been a
reform in this particular, and the de-
partment now closes only upon the
day Of the funeral Of a man who died
while in office. But it has not prevent
ed the exhibition Of public mourning
in a most ostentatious manner. The
desk and chair Of the late Secretary
Of State were draped for a month, and
had most nournful appearance. Sec
rotary Root, when he came here to be
sworn In, could not occupy the Office
Of the Secretary of State because the
trappings of woe for the late Secretary
Hay made the Secretary's Office unin-
habitable. Those who knew Secretary
Hay are convinced that he would not
have approved Of any such display.
Then, again, the half-masting of
flags is most depressing For the last
two years the flags Of Washington,
and especially those Of the city govern
ment have been at half-mast nearly
all the time. People forgot for whom
they were mourning. The flags on
the schools, on fire department build
ings and on the district government
building are continually waving at
half-mast, and no one can tell Why
or for Misunderstanding Post.
