The Corporation Commission.

Richard r Byrd, chairman of the
special Legislative committee appointed
TO investigate the circumstances sur
rounding the dismissal from the service
of the State Corporation Comm isslon Of
Major A. s Lanier, yesterday present I'd
in the House the majority and minority
reports of the committee.
The following is a portion Of the re.
port of the committee:

"2 That Lanier was guilty Of repre-
bensibe conduct in becoming a stock
holder OF the Virginia Corporation
Company Gncorporated) and in taking
an active part in the affairs of that com
pany. In lesser degree, A. NJ. Tyler
and j. W. Newly we're also guilty.
"3. While we do not believe that the
intentions of any of these men were cor
rupt, their relations with the said COM
pany were in high degree contrary to
public policy.
"a. That Judge Crump, without cor
rupt motives, but overlooking the funda-
mental objection to his share holding 10
said company, by such shareholdiDg and
sanction given to the shareholding in
and employment by said company OF
others became morally responsible for
what followed.
ave therefore conclude that Judge
Crump by his own conduct, but without
any corrupt Intention, has shown such
lack of judgment and moral courage as
to seriously impair his usefulness as a
member of the State Corporation Com
mission, where not only legal acumeu,
but moral courage, frmness, good judg-
ment and sense of justice which is in
flexible are essential.
"The same considerations which con-
trolled the commission in dismissing La
nier, Tyler aud Newly should now sug.
gest to Judge Crump that he resign"
The minority report was signed by
Senator J. Boyd Sears and was milder
in its conclusions and recommendations
1t makes no reference to Judge Crump's
resignation, but designates his counec-

terday afternoon for a statement relative
to the report of the investigation COM
mittee replied:

When asked if be would speak of his
intentions for the future his reply was:
''Most assuredly not"
1t is understood that Judge Crump
has declared to his friends that he is
conscious of having acted without dis
honesty and would conside- it an in

FROM the evidence before the legisla'
tive committee which Investigated the
Corpa.ation Commission affair the
findings of the majority of that commit
tee, suggesting the resignation OF Judge
Crump, seem rather severe. That Judge
Crump acted with indiscretion in buying
a share of the Virginia Corporation
Company no one will deny, but that
he had any wrong or illegal motive in
doing so but few reasonable men will
believe The majority report exoner-
ates Judge Crump from corrupt motives,
but finds that he was indiscreet and
weak. 1t says:
We therefore conclude that Judge
Crump, by his own conduct. but with
out any corrupt intention, has shown
such lack of judgment and moral
courage as to seriously impair his use
fulness a. a member of the State Cor
pOration Commission, where not only
legal acumen, but moral courage, firm
ness, good judgment and sense OF justice,
which is inaexible, are essential. The
same considerations which controlled
the commission in dismissing Lanier
should now suggest to Judge Crump that
he resign.
The whole affair was unfortunate, but
laek OF judgment seems to have been the
grayest ofense committed. This is a
human fraiity to which all men are sub
iect at times.

Robert Hicks n aas.

Kimball's house. Robert Hicks a gas
house employee. was brought in. Ryan
looked at him but was unable to identity
him as the man who was on duty when
be spent the night there, thorgh be bad
claimed that Hicks was present 10
reply to repeated questions Ryan said he
was at the gashouse ''to the best of bis
knowledge" and if be didn't sleep there
he couldn't tell where be slept. When
questioned about mitch" Ryan said he
didn't know where he was or when he
was last in Alexandria.
Robert Hicks testified that Ryan was
not at the gashouse when he claimed to
have been there.
Ryan was recalled and asked by Mr..
Carin if he had been on Beach's ark
since the Curtin murder and he said be
had not. Mr.. Carlin asked Ryan If he
had not told man to say III don't re-
member" 10 testifying at the last trial
Ryan replied 81 don't remember" He
was informed by Mr.. Carlin that there
was a strong suspicion hat he knew
something about Curtin's murder. &c
positively denied any knowledge of il
and was excused.
Howard Hardy did not hear an argu-
ment between Fegan and Curtin, but
testified that row took place on the
street and police whistle was blown
from the little brick.
Chief Webster was then sworn. He
described an examination of the Ton
tine Hotel by himself, the mayer,
Mr.. Brent and Officer Roberts. He
said they found hand prints, appar-
emily of blood, in hallway aud blood
stains in the stable. Mr.. Carlin asked
Chief Webster as to the size of the spots.
He said the largest one WAS about the
size of tescup. The Chief said he
couldn't say that the stains are human
blood but he thought so. He said he
had never seen the trousers found 10 the
ashbaFrel and attached no importance to
them. He said he knew nothing about
Jack Vedder.
AFTERNOON SESSION
When the court convened at 2 o'clock
the room was crowded and intense in-
terest was manifested on all sides, as II
was fully expected that the prosecution
would spring sensation of some sort.
Samuel J. REYNOLDS WAS nut on the
stand by the prosecution. He was asked
il he knew Jack Ryan and replied in the
negative. He said he recolecled the
time Ryan was shot, but had never seen
him, so far he knew He said he knew
Curtin, but could throw no light on the
mystery.
Arthur j. DOwney said he saw Jack
Ryan at Nowland's place about midnight
Saturday. December %. Ryan wa' very
drunk and he put him out.
Mr.. Brent rested his case and Mr..
Carin moved that the prisoners be dis
charged. He said not a scintilla OF evil
dence that would connect either Pstter-
son or Davis with the crime had been
brought out and, further, that he did
not consider il necessary to argue the
case.
Mr., Brent also moved to discharge
the prisoners and asked that Jack Ryan
be held for the action of the grand jury,
which the court directed. Patterson
and Davis we're at once surrounded by
tier friends and heartily congratulated.
There WIS no demonstration over the
verdict.
The action of the Police Court in
sending Ryan on to the grand jury was
based upon his own testimony.
