The action against Judge Spear
was formally begun when Repre-
sentative Henry d. Clayton,
chairman OF the judiciary com
mittee OF the house. presented a
resolution giving power to his
committee to investigate the al.
legged shortcomings OF Judge
Spears conduct.
This action was, In fact. pre-
ceded by private inquiry by an
agent of the department of Justice,
based on complaints made by pri-
vate parties who claimed TO have
been injured by the judges miscon-
duct.

That he allowed his son-in-
law, A. n. Hayward, to hold Of
flee In his court.
That he gave excess fees to
personal friend in bankruptcy
cases.
That he violated a mandate
Of the supreme court.
That he made corrupt use Of
his office In deciding cases In
favor Of his son-in-Iaw. who had
contingent fees at stake.
That he used court officials az

That his conduct was oppres-
sive In going beyond his jurls-
diction In the levyina Of fines.
That he left money on deposit
