Washington, Feb. 21-The right of
federal judge to accept outside EN-.
ployment while serving on the bench
was sharply questioned by members
OF the House judiciary committee to-
day in considering Impeachment
charges against Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands. After Representa-
tive Welty. Democrat, Ohio, had out
lined the grounds on which he had
asked for the impeachment of Judge
Lands, because of his s42, 500 a year
contract as supreme arbiter of organ
lied baseball, members insisted that
the committee should go thoroughly
into the case. With this in view,
Chairman Volstead announced that
the question would be taken I'D on
Wednesday.
1t will be left entirely for the COM
m1ttee, composed exclusively of law
yers, to decide whether there is suffi-
cIent ground to justify presentation
of the case to the House of Represen-
atives. Should the House vote to i'm
peach, the Senate would sit as the
trial court.
Three Republican members Of the
committee. Representatives Hustled.
New York; Goodykoontz. West Vir-
GINA, and Boies, Idaho, openly ex-
pressed to the double service of the
judge.
Mr.. Hustled declared that accept
ance of so large an outside salary
was Outrageous" but insisted the
committee should have facts on
which to draw an indictment
Mr.. Boies thought the judge might
be forced by public opinion to quit
one job.
Mr.. Goodykoontz said that if Judge
Lands course was legally and moral
ly proper, there was nothing to pre-
vent the meat packers or others en-
ploying man on the bench to look
after their interests while still acting
as judge.
Asked to explain why Judge Lam
baseball to sit as arbiter. Mr.. Welty
presented a letter from Chicago which
purported to quote one of the mag
mates as saying that Lands, as pri-
vate citizen, meant nothing to base
ball, but that Lands as a judge meant
everything. Mr.. Welty was emphatic
in the assertion that this was the
real basis for his appointment.
Some members expressed the view
that while the committee might not
vote to impeach, the charges would
not be dismissed without possible
censure or criticism. 1t also was said
that Mr.. Welty's bill making it UNI
lawful for federal judge to accept
any pay except that allowed him by
the government probably would be
reported out with a recommendation
for speedy enactment. This. they
said, would cure the "evil condition"
mentioned by Mr.. Welty. The only
defense of Judge Lands was made by
Representative Gallivan, Democrat, OF
Boston, not a member of the COM
mittee, who announced that he de-
sired to be heard. Mr.. Welty, Mr..
Gallivan asserted. had failed to sub
stantiate his charges.
The attorney generals opinion that
Judge Lands was within the law, was
read, without comment. s.,
There was much discussion after
MIR. Hustled asked what would hap
pen if every federal judge should fol-
low the example of Judge Lands.
The committee was on the point of
going directly into this when the sug-
gestion was made that it was more
proper subject of discussion for an
other meeting, behind closed doors.

..ATHER KENNEDY
 EXPLAINS REASON
 FOR CONFESSIONAL

Al the mission for non-Cafh o1ic, now being given by the Paulist Fla thers at the Sacred Heart church, Father David W. Kennedy spoke. last evening. on the subject of '-Confes- sion" He said in part: ''The Cath olic teaching regarding the forgive ness of sins through confession and by the ministry of the Priesthood IS one that the general run of non Catholics look at with horror. To them 1t seems to be g. violent urSurpa- ton of priest1y power over the sacred rights of conscience and an arrogant attempt to control the Catholic mind and heart
 Catholics, however. know that this is an erroneous and mistaken view Of confusion. They firmly believe that the power of forgiving sins. was con- ferred upon the apostles and their successors in the priesthod by no less a person than our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and if asked for proof to John XIX 21 in which Christ said to his apostles, As the Father hath sent Me so do I send you-Recefye ye the Holy Ghost, whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain they are retained them"
 "A fair, unprejudfced reader Of Holy Scripture is obliged to admit that in this passage Jesus Christ, who was God, did confer on the apostles who were men, the power that He himself
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-06-02

undoubtedly possessed of forgiving and retaining sins
 '@rhis power did not die with the apostles. Why should it die, since Christ came to save all men in all generations? It is handed down in the apostolic succession of the priest hood to the conSummation of the world and exists in the priesthood of today as it existed in the priesthood of apostolic days.
 '@The power of forgfving sins is eH- erciSed by priests when confession of sins is made. After all, confession of sin is founded in a natural in stinct of the human heart. When we have offended God by sin, there is a desire within us to unburden our trust In the priesthood Catholics not only have one whom they can absolutely trust, but they have one who is experienced fin problems of the soul and who also possess the Christ-given power of forgiveness.
 eff non-CathoIics could only un- derstand the sacredness in which con- fession is held both by priests and people they would begin to appre- ciate that it is the great power in the world for good. No one save a priest win ever quite understand the wonderful spiritual effects of comics sion on the souls of Catholics
 The subject for the lecture for this evening is Marriage and Divorce. The exercises wif1 begin at 7:45.

FRIENDLY SUIT
 TO SETTLE ESTATE

6Continued from Page One.) third to Thomas Morrissey in trust for the use of Albert Martin during the life of the latter and on his death to pass to the two daughters.
 At the same time that he made the will Dr. Martin wrote a letter ad- dressed to Thomas MOrrissey, trustee, which was found with the will, di- recting him on the death of pr. Mar tin to assign all the mortgag ges, one third to each of said daughters and the other third to be held in trust for the life use of his son.
 This letter and will are inconsist- ent with the deeds which were made by MT. Morrissey at the request of Dr. Martin because the deeds would give the absolute title of one-third to the son, Albert. instead of merely the life use as directed by the let ter, as provided by the will. By the will MT. Morrissey was appointed ex- ecutor and trustee. He resigned and the City National bank, acting through its trust department, was ap- pointed to succeed him as admins trator and trustee.
 This proceeding has now been in stituted by the bank to have the courts decide what course shall be pursued in dividing the estate. The litigation Is entirely amicable and is brought solely for the protection of the legal rights of all the interested parties.

1o.5o, daylight time, when the prisI ouer for the last time covered the long. long trail from the sheriff s inner office to the seat before the utes her fate was sealed, and soon she will be at WetherSield, to enter
 upon a life of seciusion, with time to
 mediate within the shadow of the E1fwood B. Wade, with whom she formed the fatal clandestine ac-
 quaintance-
 It Is scarcely necessary to review the history of the crime. On August 29, last Elwood B. Wade, in company it is alleged of Edward Johnston, en- tered the Mott home at 265 Judson avenue, took off their shoes and start ed up the stairs to an attic bed room where George B. Mott was asleep. Wade struck the reclining man with an iron bar mt which iuncture John | ston fled from the house. Wade killed the man after a struggle that carried the fighting couple, or trio as the State contended, if Mrs. Mott aid ed in the actual killing, down the stairs. across the second floor flat and where the finishing touches were done with a revolver and kitchen knife.
 No more brutal or long drawn out murder is on the Fairfield county records. Wade made c bungled at tempt to hide the body in @ trunk and lose the trunk in the Easton swamp. Johnston could not hold his tongue. and evidence he gave was largely what made 1t possible for the state to convict Wade of murder in the first degree, and wiring from Mrs. Nott 0 plea of guilty of murder in the second degree. The police cleared up the mystery in about three days by an exceedingly clever bit of work.
 What appeared e hopeless case at the start of the trial was turned into real battle of legal wits by an ex- ceedingiy stubborn fight upon the part of Henry E, Shannon and Pub lic Defender Robert DeF'orest, but the damaging letters produced by Wade'S mother were an obstacle that no human efforts could surmount-
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-06-02

When the clerk read again the title of the case and asked Mrs Noll if she wished to change her plea she whispered, "Yes. sdr.' When a mo r1,ent later she was asked to state her pfea she was barely able to say ~Cuflty-second degree" No attempt was made to have her stand wnl!e ,,zF<fng her plea and idnm ed1ateiy f,r,oy, sneaafiuy the momentuous words she fell on her left side being caught In the ever-waitng arms of motherIy Adelta Mall, the deputy ponce ma

 And so ended trial that had prom fsed well to last another week, and the finish was so unexpected and such "a surprise that every one in the court room seemed dumb struck. The pris- oners was oblivious of her surround tngs. As someone whispered "She has served 10 years already" It was apparent that the accused woman, about whom many ugly rumors have been circulated, just could not face the ordeal of hearing her very soul barred in open court as it would have been had the letters been read.
