Unspecified Cases Thrown Out.
At the close of a two and a half
hour fight yesterday afternoon the
court of impeachment made decision
by vote of 81 to 16 that it would not
hear evidence on delayed cases other
than those specified in the articles OF
Impeachment. This ruling was made
by the court upon the objection made
by Counsel Tracy R. Bangs for the re-
spondent when the prosecution sought
TO call Scott Rex Of Grand Forks to
the stand to testify on an unspecified
charge.
In the arguments that were made
there was little that was new, the
ground being covered several days ago
on the same question when the de-
PENDANT demurred to a blanket speci-
tication charging delay in cases and
was sustained. The proposition in.
volved in this was exactly the same,
except that the prosecution sought to
introduce evidence on delayed cases
other than those specified under the
specification charging false certificates
for the purpose of securing the salary
of the Office.
On the roll call those voting in favor
of eliminating all but specified cases
were as follows:
Baker, Carter, Cashel, Davis, Duis,
Duncan, A....ngson, Ganssle, Gronvold,
Gunderson, Hookway, Jacobson, John
son, Kretchmar, LaMoure, Linde, Mar
tin, Mcdonald, McLtan, Ruzika, Simp-
son, Stevens, Syyertson, Talcott
Thoreson, Trimble, Walton, Welo,
WEIGH, Young.
Those voting against the elimina-
ton of those cases were:
Allen, Bessesen, Elken, Garden,
Gibbons, Gilbert, Mcdowell, diversion,
Plain, Putnam, Steele of Stntsman,
Steele of Renville, Turner, Wallin,
Whitcher and Williams.
Those absent and not voting Were
Movius and Pierce.
Little Evidence introduced.
Very little evidence was taken yes.
terday afternoon, Scott Rex being call
ed to the stand to testify to the case
under the forty-seventh specification,
that of A. Departs va Libby NJ. Sheets

tember, 1904, and in which he Says no
decision has been rendered.

dry owner in Devils Lake, testified
