Federal Judge Emory speer Of the
Southern District Of Georgia Re
celved Clean Bill From lnvestisat-
Ing Committee.

Washington, June 25:-Declaring
the evidence insufficient to impeach,
but severely %criticizing the jurist ona
number OF official acts, the special

syidual report generating the Georgia
Judge and Directing to many OF the
CRITICISMS made by Webb and Fitz
Henry. q
The subcommittee regrets its ina
bility to recommend either a complete
acquittal of Judge speer OF all culpa-
ability so far as these charges are CON
Ecerned, on fine one hand, or an inn
parchment on the other says. the ma
.jority report. "Wetare persuaded that
the competent legal evidence at hand
is not sufi to procure a convic-
stion at the hands OF the senate. But
the subcommittee does feel that the
record presents a series Of legal OPP
pressions and shows an abuse of ju-
sdicial discretion which, though falling
short Of Improbable ofenses, demand
condemnation and criticism.
IT Judge speers judicial acts in the
future are marked by the rigorous and
%inflexible hardness shown by this rec
ord, these charges hang as q portent-
GUS cloud over his court, impairing
his usefulness. impeding the admins
tration Of Justice and endangering the
integrity OF American institutions"
Notwithstanding disapproyal OF
many OF Judge speer's acts, the ma
jority Of the subcoYmittee recon-
mends that no further proceedings
be had with reference to Il. Resolu-
ton No. 234." @$s
The report was made to the full ju-
dietary committee and Its adoption
by the committee and the house will
end the impeachment case.
The repor. also says that the follow
Ing charges have not been sustained
tosthe extent that they should be made
articles OF impeachment:
That he has abused his ofhcial5 pow
er by using court Off cials as private
servants.
That he was guilty OF oppressive
and corrupt conduct in allowing the
dissipation Of the assets Of bankrupt
