stantial defense whatever, have modi-
fed their opinions as the trial pro-
crosses.
1t is probable that the end is near at
hand, and possibly final vote can be
reached at the end of the present
month. Certain 1t is that the con-
stituents Of the senators who reside
outside the second district will up
hold and approve them when the facts
become known, If a verdict is given in
strict accord with the evidence and
testimony; taking also into consIdera-
alton the credibility and character of
the witnesses.
This testimony now appears to be
reasonably certain to show, that the
first report Of the house committee,
every member OF which was a stranger
to the accused, was practically cor
rect statement-that the charges do not
constitute an Impeachment offense.
AS the trial proceeds it more clearly
appears that the whole proceedings has
arisen out Of unfortunate and bitter
political contentious existing in the
second judicial district, over which the
residents of other parts of the state
have little or no control.

The CHARGES
IN THE COWAN
CASE REFUTED
VIEW OF SECOND JUDICIAL DIS
TRlcT MATTER BY EDITOR
KELLOGG OF JAMES
TOWN.

jamestown Alert: In deciding the
Cowan impeachment case, senators cal
led on to vote and who desire to do
justice to the accused. can rely with
safety only on the evidence submitted
as the right guide for reaching a de-
cision. No doubt some members of
the senate went to Bismarck at the
opening OF the case prejudiced
against the accused, for the natural
reason that only the charges made by
the prosecution had been given pub
lefty before impeachment trial began.
These charges were widely circulated
through the industrious efforts of the
political and personal opponents Of
the judge before his trial began; the
judges defense had not been heard,
Members of the senate residing OUT
side the second judicial district were
naturally unfamiliar with the condi-
tions in that district. which bear upon
the case. The public generally outside
OF the second judicial district were in
the same position as members of the
senate. II Cowan had any defense
against the black charges SO freely
aSScAtSu " las pAOSSSuNAOAis X 4ldu Iut
been given, and the natural inference
became a fixed belief that he was not a
fit person to preside as judge over a
district court or any other court.
But within the last few days over
fifty witnesses have given testimony
on the side of the defense. This tes-
timony relates to the only two charges
against the judge on which the prose-
cution is seeking an impeachment,
namely, charges of. intoxication such
as to render him unfit to preside over
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1911-04-22

court proceedings, and delay in cases
tried before him.
The charge that habitual intoxica.
tion has rendered the judge physically
incapable is disproved by the judge
himself, whose explanation Of his own
case before the senate and whose par
ticipation in the details Of his own
defense, show him to be a vigorous and
capable man. Many witnesses have
been subpoenaed for the defense and
their testimony is expected to be COM
plete within the next two weeks. The
witnesses to refute the charges against
the judge come from a wide area Of
the state, not only from the present
second judicial district, but from the
old district formerly presided over by
Judge Cowan These witnesses are
seen to be men from all walks of life,
and are leading business men, bankers,
attorneys and farmers. They come
from localities where the charges OF
the prosecution are laid and the char
acter of the defendants witnesses as
far as introduced is seen to be Of the
highest order. They are good citi-
zens, well known and reputable men.
These witnesses have fatty contra
dicted the sensational charges given
such wide publicity by the prosecution,
and not only one but several have
testified to nearly every specification
of the impeachment charges. Incl
dents Of alleged drunkenness at Lakota,
Rugby, Devils Lake, Minot stockyards
and Hansboro, which We're made much
of by the prosecution and which at
first had a most serious look are now
emphatically denied by witnesses from
those very localities. and their testi-
mony is eorroborated by other witness
es, who saw the judge at the time
named by the prosecution.
Charges of delay of court decisions
are also explained and shown t. be,
wherever actually existing, the fault of
attorneys and clients in failing to file
briefs, or negIecting in some manner
the requirements Of legal procedure
before decisions could be expected or
alleged delay are claimed to have been
persistently expedited by the court,
while the delay is proved to be
caused by attorneys and others.
The testimony for the defense so far
is strong argument in favor of the
accused. 1t is reported that several
senators who have labored under the
impression that the Judge had no sub
