Criticism of Judiciary.
Again, Mr.. Jones in a speech de-
livered by him In Norfolk on the
, 2Sth day OF last March according
to a stenographic report of his speech
which was taken down for 'me) used
the following language;
Il have sat in Washington and
have seen honorable men, men that
have supposed We're independent,
come to Washington and seek the
aid of United States Senator to
secure a judgeship at the bonds OF
the Legislature OF Virginia, time and
time again. If need be. l could
lnanlo the men that done it. / tell
you, my counrymen, that there Is
not a single Office in the State OF
Virginia the salary OF which is sur
ficiently large to tempt the Gu
pidity Of these people that they do
not have to go to Washington ana
get .. k.'d by the head of the ring
