Savannah, Jan. 2S.-Witnesses eN-
amined today in the congressional in
vestigation of Judge Speer, charged
the jurist with being high handed, in
tolerant, and unfit to preside. Georgia
Attorney General Thomas Fielder was
on stand the greater part of the day
and denounced SpeeT's alleged
methods vigorously. Other witnesses
heard were Col. r. l. Colding, A. P.
Wright, local attorneys, and NJ. A,
Baker, of Brunswick.
Attorney General Thomas S. Fielder,
told the congressional committee that
I'm his opinion, bankruptcy estates
were wasted in the judges courts.
An alleged specific instance and in
substantiation OF this charge, Mr.. Eel
der cited the w. A. Huff bankruptcy
case. In this case, he stated, Judge
Speer allowed fees aggregating $23,-
17S. of which $4,000 had been disal-
lowed by the United States circuit
court of appeals. and $4,000 still = is
held up on account of an appeal to
that court. -,.----
The witness accused Judge Speer of
having oeen invariably partisan and
asserted that lawyers could know
whether they would win or lose their
cases by watching his countenance at
the beginning of trials.
Our most distinguished lawyers" d"
said Mr.. Fielder. never thought of
going into Judge Speer's court unless
they engaged one of Judge Speer' 5
favorities who could get his ear
INTlMiDATE CLIENTS.
Mr. Fielder stated that he had
known Judge Speer for more than
twenty years He charged that the
jurist had on occasions attempted to
intimidate clients represented by the
witness.
In the peonage case of Chauncey,
of Pulaski county," testified Mr.. Fell
der, Judge Speer apparently sought
to coerce my clients into pleading
guilty. We had many character wit
nesses on hand, but Judge Speer would
allow only few of them to testify.
I'm overruling my motion to direct
a verdict for the defendants, Judge
Speer dissertated on the sweetness of
liberty, the American flag, etc, and at
the end of his remarks he said in the
presence of the jury that if there ever
was case of peonage this is one
Judge Speer took me TO task be
fore the jury for using the word mig
ger and even threatened to strike my
name from the list of attorneys prac-
ticing in his court. All of this l be-
heve was done to influence the jury
against my clients" the witness added.
Fielder testified that the jury in
this case acquitted his client and a
few weeks later citizens of Pulaski
county arranged to give a barbecue
to celebrate the acquittal.
''It was printed in the papers" the
witness added, that the jurymen
would be invited. Judge Speer caused
a warning to the jurymen to be pub
lished that il they attended the bar
becue they might be held in contempt
OF court The barbecue was not given,
Mr.. Fielder said.
Referring to another case tried be-
fore Judge Speer, the witness charge
that the jury was not selected in ac-
cordance with the law. Just before the
trial of the case, Mr.. Fielder stated
that he obtained a list of the jurymen
