 MT. Mays exclamation was directed to- ward the mana gers for the House who are conducting the prosecution of Judge Arch bald for alleged misuse of his judicial power. Attorney A. s. Worthington, for Judge Archibald, was cross examining MT.

Williams, the business associate of Judge Archibald
 May claimed he recalled the contract be- cause he received letters containing claims by others to an interest in the bank Mir. Worthington remarked to the witness that the claim had been made that these let ters were fictitious, and that the real reason for withdrawing the contract was a tip about Washington investigation into Judge Archbald's s conduct.
 Witness Apologizes
 If that claim is made, it is a lie,' shouted MT. May Senator Bacon, presid- ing cautioned him that such language should not be used in the Senate chamber, and MT. May apologized.
 George F. Brownell of New York, gen. eral solicitor of the Erie railroad; Charles F. Conn of Scranton, general manager of an Erie subsidiary, the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Electric road, and Charles F. Pryor of Scranton were other witnesses examined during the day.
