He thought his kindness little APP

counsel for the prosecution, in opening
the case against Judge John f. Cowan
of the Second judicial district and for
mer attorney general Of North Dakota,
now on trial for various crimes and
misdemeanors, while in Office, and in
which he will be opposed by his broth

for the defense, addressed the state
with the following remarks in setting
forth the specific charges preferred by
the house Of representatives against
the district jurist:
The senate is in session to perform
an extraordinary and important con-
stitutional duty, and we should de-
termine the nature thereof and the
purpose sought to be subserved.
The English precedents are OF value
here chiefly, as they afford contrast
with the American impeachment pro-
ceeding; 1t has been well said that the
impeachment proceeding in America is
an anomaly.
Under the English practice the com
mons had power to impeach, and the
lords sat as a court for the trial there
OF, and here the analogy fails, for in
English practice the proceeding was
essentially one for the punishment of
crime, where the criminal was Of so
high degree and great influence that
II was feared he might escape justice

Bismarck, N D., March 31.--Both
sides gained a point yesterday in the
impeachment proceedings against
Judge John F. Cowan in the state
senate. The first signal victory for the
prosecution was the overruling Of the
objections entered by the accused tur-
list, wherein he questioned the con-
stitutionality of the manner in which
the articles of impeachment were
drawn. The second triumph for the
board of managers and its counsel, was
when the senate sustained it's objec-
ton to the defendants demurrer per-
tanning to Specifications 2 to incIu-
sive in Charge No. 8, relating 10 ha-
bitual drunkenness, by a vote Of %
to 1S.
The big point made by the defense,
over which there was a most convinc-
ing, logical and eloquent argument
which gave some indication of what
the proceedings promises to be--was
in regard to Specification 1 of Charge
No. 6, which was set aside by Presi-
dent Burdick and later by an almost
unanimous ratification vote Of the sem
ate. The nature of that specification
was that Judge Cowan had continuous
~ refused and neglected to perform
the duty imposed upon him by law to
decide motions, applications and spec
ial proceedings submitted to and pend
ing before him. within thirty days after
the same were submitted to him.
Almost Unanimously Sustained.

the defense. Judge Cowan was almost

prosecutions contention TO sustain
specifications in charge No. s, collect
ed last night, for which purpose the
senatorial court adjourned last night,
G. A. Bangs, this morning announced a
desire on the part of the board OF
managers to file bill of particulars,
which he did not believe he could do
until Monday. To this the counsel for
the respondent strenuously objected,
for the reason that the statutes pro-
vide that such must be returned by
the house of representatives which
power was not vested in the board Of
managers.
Opposing Demurrer.
In opposing the Cowan demurrer in
regard to the specification In charge
No. s, G. A. Bangs stated it was not
so much his intention TO cite authori-
ties as to state the theory when a de-
murrer should be overruled.
He gave certain rules which were
applicable in establishing any habitual
crime, contending each act was not
a separate offense, but series Of acts
went to make up such a charge. He
said that the gist Of the charge set
forth in the specifications under dis
cussion went to prove the habit In
dulged in, and that 1t was the prac-
tice and the habit OF crimes that con-
stftute the evil OF the Offense, that It
was not necessary to set all specific
offenses in the pleadings.
The prosecution then cited cases
where no specification Of a single
charge, time or place were named in
the charge.
Reply Of Defense.
In beginning his answer, Tracy
Bangs said he would use the word
1--WE" in referring to the senate, as he
expected they would all be here So
long that he considered himself a part
Of that body.
He said he had listened 35 minutes
to the distinguished counsel for the
prosecution to cite authorities on
which to base his objections to the
demurrer, and had not heard any, be-
cause there were none.
The ten different cases his brother
had cited, he supposed, We're claimed
to be analogous. but there was no
similarity.
The first was the keeper OF a gam
ing house, which was made an offense
by the statute the same as common
nuisance.
The second was a street walker, an
other offense in being something.

charge of the habit Of neglect OF Of
