Prosecution Nears Close.
Today the final work of the prose-
cution is being done. When the court
adjourns this evening the work Of i'll
PRODUCING evidence may not be COM
pleted for the prosecution, but 1t will
be finished not later than Monday or
Tuesday, odds and ends Of the prose-
cution now being brought together
and woven into the evidence.
Since Yesterday morning the pro-
gress Of the case has been remarkably
tedious; the dull grind Of introduc-
ing evidence with relation to delayed
cases being such that the members
Of the court have become exceedingly

New Order Means Little.
The new order, or rather expression
Of the court relating to the evidence
on delayed cases, made late yesterday
afternoon, is taken to mean but little
This is the vote that was taken on
the question of whether or not the
court would, should the prosecution
feel dissatisfied or the court feel dis
satisfied, with the showing made on
the forty-nine cases that are specified
in the articles Of Impeachment to have
been delayed.
/. Z Yesterday the prosecution showed
itS intense anxiety to get these cases
before the senate, and in putting the
proposition Of making an expression
to the court, 1t was merely to show the
prosecution and the board of manag-
ers that the court is not and does not
wish to act arbitrarily In the matter,
but that it is willing to further con-
slider the question at q latter date
should conditions arise as to appear
to warrant such steps. 1..
On the motion or ruling admitting
to the records the offer Of proof to
substantiate charges Of delays. made
when Counsel George Bangs sought
to offer case that was not specified
merely as an offer of proof. It was
charged by the defense that such Of
fer could not be made in q court of
last resort, the contention being that
while such offer Of proof could be
made in a court from which an ap-
peal might be taken, there is no
grounds for admitting such offer in
q high court from which there is no
appeal.
While the subject was under dis
cussion Senator Bessesen took q rath-
or active part and his discussion came
to conclusion when President Bur-
dick announced that the subject was
one for each senator to decide for
himself, and he made his position
with respect to that view quite plain
and in no uncertain manner either.
Bangs Brothers.
There is one feature of the case
that never serves to fail Of being in
teresting, and that is the fight be-
tween George and Tracy Bangs. Very
few points get by without challenge,
and the sarcasm that Is displayed is
quite often extremely amusing. And
1t must be admitted that for sarcasm
the honors are quite evenly divided.
