tor Kern Of Indiana, a member of the
investigating committee who signed
the minority report against Lorlmer.
senator Kern gave especial atten-
ton 10 the plea that the caae had
been settled hy the senate's vindica-
ton last year. That plea. he said
had been reached only at the last
moment. He said he would not admit
its validity; 1t had come too bate. anc
that the plea itself WAS "res adjudi-
cata."
Reminding the senate that. under
the constitution. the senate is the
