Washington. Dec. 10.--Wm. P. Bo- land of Scranton. Pa, the man charg- ed by Judge Robert w. Archibald of the commerce court with having or ganized a eonspracy that resulted in Judge Archbald's impeachment and his present trial before the senate, ad- initted on the stand in the senate to. day that he had suggested the var ious steps in winch Judge AfchbaId was connected with tne deal for the Katydid Cuml dump in order to "check up Judge Archibald"
 T wanted to button up Judge Arch bald" he said shaking his finger at the accused jurist, who sat in front of him. q wanted to show he was the kind of man he is."
 Those admissions. made under searching questions by Judge Arch balds attorney, A. $. Warrington. were interspread with the vigorous denunciation of Judge Archibald by Bol9nd as a corrupt judge" amt chai ged that Judge Archibald had been working for the railroads. Repeated demands were made by Judge Arehbalds attorney that Bo- land be required to answer questions directly put, notwithstanding the eau tions from President Bacon, he em-
 bodied in his replies sweeping cha-g- es against Judge Archibald and frank admissions that he had set out to get hold of everything he could that would
 help in showing up' Judge Arch bald and that would sustain the beiiet Roland held that Judge Archibald was being 'used'' by the railroads.
 The testimony of Wm. F. Roland. who followed his brother, c. c. Bo- l land, on the stand centered chiefly about the case of the Marion Coal company, of which they were chief owners Alr Roland declared he be- lieved Judge Archibald had used his influence to attempt to bring about settlement of a case between the Marion Coal company and the Lacka- wanna railroad.
 He said he had told Attorney Gen. eral Wickersham and members of the Interstate commerce commission he | beloved Judge Archibald had oyer- ruled the demurrer of the Marion Coal company because he tBolandj had refused to discount Judge Arch- balds note. When pressed for evin- ence to prove this, Roland said ha had been told repeatedly by E. J. Wilt | Hams. the associate of Judge Arca- bald in coal land operations that 1t would have been better for him if he had discounted the note.
 Judge Archibald never did a thing to me until the railroads began to use him. shouted Roland in the course of one of his answers to questions by MT. Warrington. He was account able for all our troubles over the ap- peal case"
 Where did you get your informa- tion about Judge Archbald?' asked Mir. Worthington.
 MT Williams would tell me what was going to happen and would tell me of the influences behind Judge Archibald" replied Roland. Then began to check up the judge l got information from his assistants as to what he was doing for the railroads
 Did you send E. J. Williams to get Judge Archibald to write letter 10 w. A. May urging that they give Mir. Williams an option on the katyd.d dump asked Mir. Worthington.
 "Yes, 1 did,' said Roland. T want ed to check up Judge Archibald
 Did you afterwards suggest so Williams that he get Judge Archibald to go to New York to see the Erie of- ficials?'
 q think I did" Roland finally ad- mitted.
 He also suggested to Charles F. Conn, of the Lackawanna and Wyom- ing Valley Electric line that he phr-
 chase the clum dump from Williams,
