lated an incident in the Greene and
Gaynor case when he said Judge
Speer insulted him, which brought
about the estrangement and since
that time they had not spoken.
During this narrative Judge Speer
made an impassioned plea to the
Congressional committee to protect
him from such attacks and General
Meldrim started from his chair to-
ward the seat occupied by Judge
Speer, Chairman Webb had TO
threaten to exclude both from the
room to restore order.
distinct sensation disclosed by
General Meldrim was an alleged
transaction between Judge Speer ana
the late A. B. King, clerk of the Fed
eral Court, charging that Judge
Speer borrowed $1,000 from the
court register for which King was
responsible and refused to return it.
General Meldrim told the committee
Mr. King had told him and he ad-
vised Mr.. King to write the judge a
firm letter and later Mr.. King told
him the money had been paid. 1t
bad remained open so long it was al
legged that the interest amounted to

The hearing adjourned at 1:15
o'clock until 3 o'clock, when Colonel
Lawton will be recalled.
Coldnq Promises Thrills.
George S. White, of Macon, former
United States Marshal, the first wit
ness to-day, who testified at Macon
on Saturday, identified a statement
he had given in writing to the effect
that after long association with
Judge Speer he had never seen him
take any drug or stimulant

plot to assassinate Judge Speer will
furnish thrills in the probe when :.

Speer on a charge of shanghaing
Judge Speer, according to Colonel
Colding and newspaper men, wrote a
story for the papers stating that OIL
sens friends were going to assassi-
nate him, and the next day wrote a
story denying this. Colding was the
attorney for Olsen. He has made the
charge that in conducting the case
Judge Speer was eminently unfair to

Beach Case Figures.
That other evidence heretofore not
touched upon in the Speer hearing
would be introduced at the session
to-day, provided the witnesses could
be reached, seemed to be a certainty
when it became known that a num-
Der of former court officials had been
called and would probably take the
stand
Another sensational development
the case may take was limited at in
the investigation yesterday, when
Chairman Webb tried to bring out
the facts in connection with the
Beach bankruptcy case, and the pro-
ceedings of former Referee Max
1saaos, of Brunswick, in throwing the
company into the hands of a receiver.
Since the company's affairs went into

CANV|CT LABOR
On the Roads in West Virginia
is Shown to Be An I'm
doubted Success.

Success in convict road work Is I'M
doubted in West Virginia. This road
work has been developed as the result
of legislation passed at the last session
of the legislature.
A recent report received by the Ma
tfonal Committee on Prisons and Pris-
on Labor from A. D. Williams, chair
man of the road bureau, states that to
date three convict road camps have
been established, the men being under
the honor system and living in tents.
Two of the camps are located on a
stream and the men each evening go
bathing and enjoy all the liberties Of
camp life. Three Italians have at
tempted escape. but the Americans
and negroes are proving themselves
worthy of trust.
At st. Marys camp in solid and loose
rock the men have averaged 4:O3 cubic
yards per day. At the Inwood camp
the average was ABB cubic yards,
which included the erection of one
concrete culyert 20x30 feet, twenty
seve Meet long, and sixteen days labor
for one man out of 118 laying thing.
A crew of citizen labor was also
working at st. Marys camp on the
same work and an interesting com
parison of costs was made: the cost of
moving material by citizens was
eighty-three cents per cubic yard
against thirty cents with the prison
ers.
These developments indicate that
through road work West Virginia will
to a great extent, solve her prison
problem, as will any state wherein CO.
operation Is secured between the high
way and the prison departments.
