A. GEORGIA JUDGE
Charges Against Judge Speer Are
Considered BY House Judiciary
M Committee. slaGe

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 21.--
Charges which, = sustained. may be
the foundation of another impeach
ment case in the Senate, were made
against Federal Judge Emory Speer
of the Fifth Georgia Circuit In papers
considered yesterday in session OF
the House Judiciary Committee. The
committee had before 1t the report on
an investigation Of Judge Speer's con.
duct by Special Examiner II. Cotton
Lew S, submitted by the Department
OF Justice with numerous afiidayIts
and other exhibits.
( No action was taken. the committee
adjourning until FIR day, and each
member pledging himself not to dis,
cuss the charges meantime. The
most serious charges death with in
the exam ner's report are:
That Judge Speer unlawfully per.
mitted the wasting or dissipation OF
bankruptcy estates that came within
his jurisdiction as Federal judge
That he presided in cases in which
his son-in-law was an attorney on a
contingent fee, with knowledge that
his decision would affect the fee OF
his soninlaw.
That he was guilty of impeding un.
lawful punishment for contempt In
cases coming before his court.
That he ignored the mandates OF
the Circuit Courts Of Appeal and OF
the Supreme Court of the United
States in certain cases.
That he was absent from his dis
trlct when he should have been at
tending TO his duties in court.
That. contrary 10 law, he tried
cases outside of his district.
There we're other charges relating
to what the judges accuser's claimed
to be arbitrary conduct, and one re-
lating to personal habits.

III you find these girls We're taken
to Reno by the defendant in the man
ner charged" concluded the court,
then the only question remaining is
as to the intent with which they were
so taken.
"And even if you find that the de
PENDANT and his companion Caminetti
were actuated in their departure or
flight from Sacramento by fear Of
exposure or arrest. but that neverthe-
less In taking these two girls along
there existed the intention to sub
ject them to the immoral purpose
charged, the defendant is guilty"
The defense took exception TO the
charge in general and to specific in
struct1ons.
