ACCUSED OF CUlM DEAL
Congressional Committee Told Judge

Washington.-Edw J. Williams,
a coal speculator of Scranton, Pa, and
former working partner OF Judge Ro-
bert w. Archibald Of the United States
Commerce Court, admitted, with the
greatest reluctance, to the House Com.
mittee on the Judiciary facts which 1t
is alleged show how the jurist had
sought TO capitalize his position on the
bench in financial negotiations with
the Erie Railroad and others. Judge
Archibald, In July, 1911, was widely
criticised for letting off eighty selfcon-
fessed members of the Wire Trust
pool with fines of $1,000 TO $1,700
apiece. He fined f. +. Jackson, head
of the pool, $4,000.
These facts, supported by photo
graphic copies Of instruments signed
by Judge Archibald, railroad officials
and others, stand out:
/. That, w. p Boland was a party
TO litigation in Pennsylvania; that
Williams asked Boland to discount a
note for $500 signed by Judge Arch
bald; that Boland refused to sign the
iC'C hhu Acph NhO buiI, oiu Ahob w IA
liams afterward told Boland he would
have Jared better in court had he
obliged the jurist with the money.
2. That Williams and Judge Arch
bald sought to purchase from the Erie
Railroad culm banks for $4,000, which
they afterward contracted to sell to an
electric railway for $4,000; that the
agent OF the Erie refused to deal with
Williams until Judge Archibald saw
VicePresident Brownell of the rail.

3. That while this deal was pending
with the Erie, Judge Archibald remind.
ed Williams that the Erie Railroad
was interested in the New York light
erage cases. which were then before
the United States Commerce Court for
adjudication and that he (Archbald)
would pass upon the cases
4. That through the Erie transac.

contracts as "a silent party" and that
only the agent OF the Erie and the
partners were supposed TO know that
