In response TO these inquiries. Colo

made this statement:

Col. Llewellyn w. Johns. an exper;

You can't determine accurately
how many are dead until the mines

The explosion must have been a
terrible one.
There is no doubt that the firing oI

Washington. Feb. 22-In the
Swayne impeachment trial TODAY,
Senator Bacon objected to Senator
Hale's resolution to bring the trial to
a close Saturday. Senator Hale's rea-
son for wishing to bring the trial to a
close was that the appropriation bills
were pressing.
Senator Bacon contended that there
should be no undue expedition in dis
posing of the Swayne matter, saying
that while he agreed with Senator
Hale as 70 the Importance of pressing
the consideration of regular business,
he regarded the trial of Swayne as a
constitutional function of great impOr-
tance. He suggested longer daily ses-
sions of the senate.
Witnesses Examined.
Witnesses examined in the interest
of Judge Swayne to-day were: F. w.
Marsh, clerk of the federal court, of
Pensacola; Beverly H. Burton, deputy
clerk of the state circuit court; Thom-
as F. McGourin, U. s. marshall; Eli
jah Parker; Percy 5. Hayes, a Pensa-
cola newspaper man, and AdOlph
Greenhut, all of whom testified TO cir
cumstances connected with the con-
tempt proceedings; Ezra p. Axtell, an
attorney who testified regarding the
respondents use of 2 private railroad
Car, and Milton Jackson, of PhTladel-
Phia, a brother-in-law of Judge
Swayne, who said that in recent years

Guyencourt, Delaware.
