some HISTORICAL
IMPEACHMENTS
BOARD OF MANAGERS IN coWAN
CASE LOOKED Up MANY
FAMOUS PREcEpENTs.

Bismarck, N. D., March So.--In pre-
pairing for the present impeachment
trial OF Judge John r. Cowan, the &C
cused jurfst Of the Second judicial dis
trict, and former attorney general OF
North Dakota, the members Of the
house board OF managers went about
the undertaking with the utmost care.
No pains have been spared in securing
all information on all the impeachment
cases in the whole country since the
time Of its incipiency.
The method of procedure in such
cases is something out of the ordinary.
Even a most comprehensive grasp of
parliamentary practice does not imply
an intimate knowledge OF the rules
to be observed during the impeachment
trials for which both our federal and
various constitutions have provided.
When the members of the present
board of managers assumed the task Of
conducting this trial, they all spent
some time in making a special study
of the records Of the various impeach-
ment proceedings which have been held
In congress and in the several state
legislatures. Close attention was given
to those held in recent years, and they
were compared with the earlier trials
in order to perceive what newer prec-
edents had been established, so that
the Cowan impeachment trial would in
every way be in strict accord with the
customs and presidents of such oc-
caSions

the house SO that the senate did not
have to sit In the matter.
West II. Humphreys, a federal judge
Of Tennessee, was tried in the United
states senate on Impeachment charges
in 1882, about year after the out
break OF the civil war. And four
years later came the most noted and
famous impeachment trials In Ameri-
can history when the president came
within one vote OF losing his seat.
Famous johnson Trial
Charges against Andrew Johnson of
Tennessee, seventeenth president Of
the United States, for high crimes and
misdemeanors were preferred in 1855.
The fight was the bitterest and the
most memorable in the history Of the
country. Not since that time has there
ever been anything as fragrant in the
course of events. President johnson
was charged with many crimes, includ-
ing drunkenness and debauchery. He
was acquitted by one vote and served
two years afterward as president of the
United States, retiring to private life
in the spring of 1869, when he later
went back to the senate to represent
his state.
The Johnson trial was well known
to be the result Of much political con-
spiracy and it is well known that one
OF the most bitter antagonists in his
cabinet, William III. Seward, whose dis
missal was said to be the cause of
the impeachment, died within q year,
disappointed and down trodden.
Other Trials.
The other impeachment trials in the
United States senate were those Of
William N. Belknap, secretary of war,
in 1875, and Charles Swaine in 1905.
The history of the Cowan trial is yet
to be made, but it will be watched with
interest throughout the whole country
and the rulings and decisions made
here at the extra session of the state
senate sitting as a high court of i'm
parchment, will be cited in years to
come as a precedent in conducting of
impeachment trials.

Attempt At Tyler.

The first attempt ever made in this
country to impeach a president of the
United States was in 1S47, when
charges were preferred against John
Tyler, the last of the Old Dominion
presidents and the tenth man to hold
the office. The charges never passed

Swaine Trial.

Particular observation was given to
the last impeachment trial in congress
when Charles Swaine, United States
judge Of the northern district of Flor
ida, was tried for high crimes and
misdemeanors, and to the Impeachment
trial of E. st. Julien Cox, a district
judge Of Minnesota, before the state
legislature, the charges against whom
were similar to those in this case.
To review all these cases, 1t has re-
quired much study in the little space
Of time afforded by the recess of the
legislature from March 3 to %. But
nearly all the members of the board
especially Mr.. Nestos, has devoted
every available moment to the perusal
Of these cases.
There have only been nine impeach-
ment trials in the United States senate
since contingency was provided for by
the constitutional convention. They
began early when the republic was
almost in it's infancy, the first being
held In 1897.
The first impeachment trial in the
federal capitol was that OF William
Blount, United States senator from
Tennessee. The second came in 1903,
when Judge John Pickering of the
United States court of New Hampshire
was tried.
Samuel Chase. associate justice OF
the United supreme court, was tried
the following year, in 1904, and was
| impeached. In 1926, James H. Peck
of Missouri, United States judge, was
| tried on impeachment charges.
