rage On6.
Chief Clark Griffin had approached
him with the intention of tampering
with him and cautioning him to be
particular about what he testified to
against Judge Cowan, was made to
serve at it's own boomerang on Mr.
Crowley.
The report OF the Investigation COM
mittee appointed by President Bur-
diek completely exonorated the chief
clerk and showed where Crowley vir-
tually retracted every statement he
made in his affidavit. This was used
to good advantage by Counselor Bangs
In bis impeachment OF that witness.
He further waded into Crowleys
testimony showing his exceedingly poor
memory when he failed to recall even
single word he had testified to before
the Cowan house investigating COM
mittee last winter. AS a consequence
Mr. Bangs contended his testimony
charging Judge Cowan coming into the
Ness drugstore and obtaining whisky
or other Intoxicating beverages could
not be very reliable.
Disproves BranchfIower's Story.
The counselor then proceeded to
puncture the story or Monroe Branch
flower, who was called "the student OF
Wehe," by Mr.. Cuthbert in his address
the night before. Branchflower stated
heewas an attendant in the courtroom
one day and saw Judge Cowan walk
In, sand right up to the judges bench,
announce there would be no court and,
without sitting down, walk right out
Rgafn.
He said he noticed the Judge as 'ehe
walked right in, turned right around
and walked right out again. that he
was under the influence of liquor. Mr..
Bangs recalled the introduction of the
court records as evidence and ex-.
hibits and said they showed there had
not been an Adjournment during the
whole term OF court, and that portion
OF that term was held by Judge Knee
shaw
9These records alone show the facts,
said Mr.. Bangs. Mr.. Branchflower's
story must have been based on the
records in Mr.. WeFle's office"

AS TO the Hansboro trip and the
wrestling match. he said the time

Brennan Figurehead.
After citing the night of the sing
Ing in the vanderhoof hotel, Mr.. Bangs
called attention to Dan Brennan. He
passed over the youthful editor OF The
Devils Lake Inter- Ocean lightly, CALI
ing him a mere figurehead in the case,
despite his activity.
Dan may have danced and pranceu
before this senate like a punch and
judy show" he said with a SMILE" but
he was not the realm one behind this
Impeachment trial.
THE man behind is he of the one
time golden beard" and he stroked his
own clearly shaven chin as he saio
this. ''The man with the easy tread,

seen him in the foyer of the chamber

face of Joe Kelly anxiousIy look from.
his station back there to the board of
managers to see how his prosecution is
being put and carried out"
Criminal or Civil.
Much time was given to the discus
sion again of whether the case was
criminal or civil. Every citation he
read supported the contention Of the
trial being criminal action.
The Belknap impeachment trial was
cited and also the famous trial of
President Johnson, and opinions fronl
Chief Justice Church and other fam
GUS legal authorities
We Have Said the Last.
The end of his remarks was touch
ing, describing the accused jurist, nov
descending the long sheer slope of
life's afternoon and nearing the eve
ming of his ways, and the anxious
hearts that awaited the verdict of the,
senate.
We have said the last word now"
Mr.. Bangs said solemnly. 1--WE have
said the last and the defense can do
no more"
With that he retired to the side of
the table for the defense where inn
mediately after the adjournment was
announced by President pro tenn Plain,
he was greeted by his many friends
who showered him with congratu-
lations for his brilliant effort in be-
half of his old lifetime friend and
client. who was the first to take his
hand last night.

all the laws already in effect
why not support the constitution
and not the legislative laws?" he
shouted, and then to support his con-
tentions, he quoted at length opinions
from the supreme courts of North and
South Dakota and other states, where
in he was upheld, particularly in South
Dakota, where just such a question
arose before.
Drugstore Discussion.
The final discussion of the afternoon
concerned the drinking of man in a
drugstore. as cited by Judge Cowan in
his opening address, wherein there is
no blame attached to the drinker but
to the proprietor. This was upheld by
many authorities cited, and clearly set
forth that every law supported the
contention, and that there was not a
thing to favor the argument brought out
by Counselor Sinkler Saturday night.

went after the others, including Avery
Johnson.
Each witness testifying to the drug
store incidents was regaled for the full
benefit of the senate, and 1t was clearly
shown, from the viewpoint Of the de-
tense, where the likelihood of the
stories emanated.
Following the blowing up" of these
witnesses, the senate took an adjourn
ment until 1880 o'clock when the able
counselor resumed his discourse.
Judge Cowan's Record.
Tracy Bangs thought it was crime
to endeavor to charge such a man as
Judge Cowan with dishonesty or con-
meet his name with an effort to per-
petrate a dishonest act on the state of
North Dakota.
He declared the prosecution was un-
able to show, in the matter of the false
certificates, the least trace of dis
honesty in his career in the last TWEEN
ty-seven years as a public servant.
During his public life, the accused had
occupied many positions of trust and
he said he had always been an ex-
emplary official.
What has he been?' he cried.
School teacher, superintendent of the
schools, states attorney, attorney gem
eral and a district judge. Oh, Judge
Cowan has been rare man, indeed.
You should say, God grant we may
have more like you.''
Matter of Certificates.
In one of the most persuasive APP
peals yet heard in the trial. Mr.. Bangs
delyed into the subject of filing certifi-
Gates with the state auditor in regard
to the drawing of a judges salary. He
showed, based upon many authorities
cited from the opinions handed down
from the supreme courts of many
states, where that was strictly uncon-
stitutional and only statutory.
He said the legislative power was
exhausted when the salary Of a dis
trict was fixed. that the constitution
did not demand such a thing as the
filing of certificates and that such a
law as existed today in North Dakota
was unconstitutional. Then he APP
pealed to the senate as the court of
highest appeal in the state at present
time.
There is no higher court than this
senate today in this state, as it sits
as high court of Impeachment" he
said. Why should it be bound then
by something which the supreme court
has held Is unconstitutional? You
are not called upon to obey the laws
except those provided in the constitu-
ton Of this state, for those laws are
purely legislative, made by this body
and the sister house when convened
for that purpose, and subsequent
legislature can just as readily unmake

Rex, Paragon Of Honesty.

incident brought out In the testimony
Of Scott Rex, he referred to the Grand

They have had the opportunity I'd
DO this because his life has been an
open book. There is none who has
ever accused Judge John r. Cowan
OK going behind the door to do any
thing, but they know his acts are al
ways open to the public view. He
has been in the limelight in this state
Tor many years. He has served his
state In many Official positions, and

But I say to you gentlemen OF this
court, there Is record that is writ
ten that Is stronger than any we see
printed book. There is a biographer
who sits closer to us and notes our
every act with more care as to detail
than even Roswell in writing the
teachings and life of Johnson. and
that biographer writes with pen that
never fails, and the writing never
fades, and for fear his notes become
mixed he writes the record of the life
of every man upon his face, and / ask
you to look at John F. Cowan and
look at the biography of his life that
Almighty God has written there.
Then say to me, is there in that
face, is there in those lips, is there in
q line of that face one thing to show
rorruption?" The speaker paused
moment to allow his words to have
their full effect.
