was nothing in the articles OF I'M
peachment regarding this witness.
The purpose of the articles OF i'm
peachment, he contended, was to
give notice to the respondent OF the
nature Of the accusations against

managers have secured and are

Of the respondent, to display GER

fail to account for a hundred is a
crime"
Presiding Judge Cullen then rem
dered long opinion on the cues
ton. at the conclusion Of which he
announced he would oyerrule the
motion and submit it to vote Of
the court. The presiding judge
said that II the present case were
a criminal trial he would be dis

charges not specified in the indict-
ment

sshould be construed with greater
latitude"
He added that article six Of the
impeachment had mentioned the
receipt Of $4,000 by the governor
without naming the donors, and
that counsel for the respondent
had ample opportunity to ask for
a bill of particulars.
