ARCHIBALD DEFENSE TO
BEGIN ON MONDAY
EVIDENCE AGAINST THE JUDGE
WILL BE COMPLETED
SATURDAY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The sem
ate today adopted an order for clos
ing by Saturday testimony in chief
against Judge Robert w. Archibald OF
the commerce court on trial for alleg
ed misbehaVior and misdemeanors in
office. Monday at 1880 p m, was
set for the beginning of testimony for
the defense. Attorneys for Judge
Archibald expressed the hope that they
would complete their testimony next
week.
These orders resulted from the
statement by Representative Clayton,
chairman Of the house managers, that
ne desired all the house witnesses to
be preesnt tomorrow when the man
ayers might conclude.
All the witnesses of the day had
previously testified before the house
judiciary committee with the eXcep-
ton of James r. Dainty of Scranton.
Dainty testified that upon going to
see Judge Archibald at the judges re-
quest on one occasion about the inter-
est of the Everhardt heirs in certain
coal lands, he remarked to the julge
that he would be obliged If he spoke
to the Lehigh Valley Coal company
officials about a lease of the land.
He declared he did not expect Judge
Archibald to do anything about his re-
quest and that the judge had not told
him Of going to see General Manager
S. ID. Warringer of the coal company
in regard to the matter.
Mr.. Warrlnger testified early in the
day that Judge Archibald came to him
to inquire if his company desired to
purchase the interest of the Everhardt
heirs in certain coal lands. He in
sisted that although the proposed
Dainty lease was mentioned as the
judge was leaving. the two matters
had no connection.
Just before adjournment. John
Henry Jones was called to tell of the
charge based on Attorney C. II. Won
Storch liscounting a $500 note payable
to Judge Archibald.
