mittee handed in the following re-
port upon its Investigations i'll the

Your Committee on Judiciary have
carefully considered that part of the
report OF the committee OF investga-
ton referring to the matter Of Joe

leave to make the following report:
The facts stated in this report, and
the evidence taken on which the said
report was based. do, in the opinion
of the Judiciary Committee. show that

fee. But in view Of the fact that
there remain only FIVE. and possibly
only four more days OF this session
Of the Legislature and your committee
refrain from recommending the start
ing Of such impeachment proceedings
at this time; because the proceed
ings could not be completed during
these remaining four or five days OF
