ARCHIBALD CASE is ON
SENATE BEGINS IMPEACHMENT
OF COMMERCE COURT JUDGE.
Managers Scathingly Lashes Ac-
cused Jurist.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Judge Robert
w. Archibald Of the United States
commerce court sat before the bar OF
the senate Tuesday and heard him
self referred to as one who had pros,
titude his high official position to per
sonal profit" who had "commercialized
his potentiality as a judge and who
had degraded his Office and destroyed
the confidence of the public in his in
tegrity."
In reply to this arraignment by Rep
resentative Henry D. Clayton Of Ala
bama in the impeachment proceedings
against the jurist, Judge Archbald's
chief counsel, A. S. Worthington, de-
clared the house had brought proceed
ings upon facts that, if properly an
alyzed, would show the %jurist's mo-
tives to be unquestionable. He con
tended also that the charges are vague
and indefinite.
The trial is expected to center about
Judge Archbald's connection with the
purchase or attempted purchase Of
certain refuse coal dumps. e
The defense of Judge Archibald lost
the first test submitted to the senate
when a determined fight was made
Wednesday against the admission of
the contract entered into between e.
J.. Williams Of Scranton and William
P. Boland. and a silent partner on
the other hand. This silent partner
was Judge Archibald, and Attorney
Worthington contended there was
nothing to show that Judge Archibald
knew anything Of the contract. By a
vote Of Sc to 6 the senate put the
contract into the records.
The only witness heard was e. j.
williams, an unwilling witness and
friendly to Archibald.
