 Washington. Feb. 24.--(Special )-- Tho Senate Judiciary subcommittee continued today the examination of Judge Hundiey and will hold another meeting next Friday.
 | Hundley's examination is practically ended and will probably be concluded by the end of the week. While the meetings are held behind closet doors and the details are withheld. today sog,e of the points leaked out and 1t was evidently a field day Cor those. who are opposing his confirmation.A The Antl-Hundiey people were much pleased.
 In a recent issue of The Birmipg- ham Age-Heraid, Hundley's gather-in- law. Capt, Frank o'Brfen. was inter- viewed at length. He charged that The Advertiser correspondent had wired statements from Washington regarding ballot box .stufhng in AiabansM which were not true. and that Hundley did not make any charges in this conuec- ton against Democrats.
 Hundiey did introduce this subject at the hearing and the chances are he will rue the day he brought 1t up. for bringing it up. he did and he left the gate wide open. He undertook to show that when he was Republican candi- date for Congress against the late Gen. eral Wheeler. he had carried the Hunts- ville district by forty-six votes on the face Of tho returns. and that Hunts vile was counted against him by 500. He also intreduced . letter from one R. P. Whitman, at one time fn charge of the NashviIle and Chattapooga Rail- road of which Hunoley was counsel. and ID this letter Whitman stated he before election and another man 500; that Hundley's name had Seen scratch cd and that they were voted against him nexk dav and this he said ae- counted for the HuntsYIie district go- ing awalnst hlm.

 IL. |. is understood that many other dis. astrous facts were brought out against Hundley today in. very lively cross- examination. ,f .et
 It Is reported tonight that IIundley in cross examination, admitted that he had offered and promised to give Republican raferee Scott the poaltson of Clerk of the United States Court in place of Chas. ]. Allison. This will be news for the people of Alabama. But things got so hot for 'Hundiey that he was compeled to finally notify Scott that he could not comply with his promise. Hundley was forced to admit also that this notice was not given un- til after the Judiciary subcommittee was appointed for this Investigation. It will be recalled that HundIey hal already provided for Referee Thomp- son.
 The name of Judge Shelby of the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals, it is said. was incidentally brought into the matter, but 1t Is learned tLat Jncge shelby has indign lntly densed tha. he had anything to do with such a deal from the bench.
 Hundley mas been making light of the charges against him that he went back on gambling debts and that he was indicted and tried at Huntsvillo. The court record has been laid before the Judiciary Committee. The opinion is growing stronger that Hundley will be rejected. More witnesses fin rebut- tai are expected to appear Friday.
