ARCHbALD'S NAME USED .
IN COAL COMPANY DEAL
Statement by Witness Before
the Committee of Inves-
tigation Today.

Judge Robert W. Archbald's name was
used in the negotiations between the Bo
land brothers Of Scranton. Pa. and the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western rail-
way. This statement was made today to
the House judiciary committee, which Is
investigating charges made against the
judge. The statement was made by
George NJ. Watson of Scranton, who
acted as attorney for the coal oper-
tors in their effort to sell the Marion Coal
Company to the railroad for $161.0o
While on the stand yesterday Mr.. Wat
son was under the impression that Judge
Archbald's name was not uttered. To-Day
he recalled that Mr. Truesdale made re-
mark which implied that the justice OF
the Commerce Court was responsible for
the conference.
When Attorney Watson took the stand
second time, he said he was in doubt
Scranton before he came to Washington
to see Judge Archibald or was to see them
later. His change of mind contradicted
much of his testimony of the day before.
Witness Cannot Explain.
Mr. Watson was confronted with an
other difficult feat in memory, when 1t
was pointed out to him that a brief he
said he got from Judge Archibald in the
Court of Commerce October was
stamped Filled October 9, 1911.' by the
clerk of the court. Mr.. Watson could
not explain this, and the subject was
dismissed.
Mr. Saeger was recalled to the stand
and Mr.. Watson was excused until Fri
day. Mr.. Watson was utterly exhausted
by the. rigid cross-examination he under,
went from Representative Norris and
Representative Webb. When he left the
stand he was helped to a chair In a half
fainting condition. Later he revived ana
went to his hotel.
John l.. Saeger, a New York attorney,
was the morning witness before the COM
mittee His testimony was regarding the
suit brought by the Boland brothers
against the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western railway.
