WHAT II COSTS
TO INVESTIGATE.

The Gazette yesterday in COM

tain charges against Judge Chiches-
ter at Fredericksburg, placed the
cost at $4,000, adopting the figures
given by the Richmond Virginian. 1t
appears that the expense will ap-
proximate $4,000. The Richmond
Journal in referring to this investi-
cation and expenditure says:
The charges which Delegate S. P
Powell, Of Spotsylvania. made against
Judge r. H. l.. Chichester, of Freder-
icksburg, have resulted in making a
charge Of about $4,000 so far, and
there are other bills yet to come t.
hand. 1t is estimated that by the
time the case is finished and submit,

will not fall below $1,000, and after
that there is no telling what the cost
