JUDGE SPEER
UNDER FIRE;
RECORD IS
PROBED
Inspector of Department Of JUS
tiCe in Macon Investigating Of
fetal and Private Character.

MACON, GA, June 13.-The entire
official record of Judge Emory Speer
is being investigated by a special
agent of the Department of Justice.
J. T. Lewis, an assistant in the United
States Attorney Generals office, and
a personal representative of Attorney
General McReynolds, has been in Ma
con for a week engaged in this work.
Not only the official acts, but also
the personal character Of Judge Speer
is also being scrutinized, with the
view Of determining If there is any
foundation for charges Of an impeach-
ment nature.
Judge Speer is fully informed as to
the purpose of the visit of Inspector
Lewis to Macon
Started by Huff Charges.
1t is said that the investigation was
promoted by the charges made last
year by Colonel w A. HUH, who has
since been found guilty for sending to
Judge Speer the letters which con-
tanned the accusations. However, the
Huff civil case does not, IL is said, fig
ure to any great extent in the In
.vestigation, the probe being concerned
nth the judges record for the past
IS years Inspector Lewis has inter-
viewed numerous Macon attorneys,
court officials and citizens, and he has
begun the taking of affidavits. News
paper files are also being consulted.
District Attorney Alexander Aker-
man declines to make any statement
as to the investigation, referring in
duirers to the Attorney General for
information. Mr.. Lewis also refuses
to discuss the assignment.
Not Opposed by Bartlett.
1t is believed here that Congress
man Bartlett was approached by the
Department Of Justice with regard to
the investigation of Judge Speer, and
that ne did not oppose It.
Colonel HUFF states that regardless
of the activity of the Department Of
Justice he is proceeding with his plan
of petitioning Congress to investigate
charges which he will make against
Judge Speer He says that his charges
have slight connection with his case
but deal almost altogether with other
acts which he imputes to Judge Speer.
Colonel Huff is expecting a visit from
Inspector Lewis, and he says he viii
freely give the special agent all infor-
nation that he has in his possession.
The disclosure that Judge Speer is
under fire has caused a genuine SEN
sation here
