Senator Harris. Does the judge Sc

Judge Williams. No; they havea jury
commission, one appointed by the council
and one appointed by the governor; these
act ia conjunction with the clerk of the
count and under the supervision Of the
judge.
Senator Bingham. May | say at this
point that Judge Williams has been sub

at this point, because it might appear,
otherwise. that Judge Williams had been
rather arbitrary.
Senator Robinson, Did you talk to
the governor?
Senator Bingham. Oh, yes; / had a
very long talk with him several times,
and [ had very pleasant relations with
RothschiId Francis, the editor of the
Emancipator, involved in this case.
Senator Robinson, Is he an educated
man?
Senator Bingham. Yes, sir. That is
a relative term-I should say he was.
Senator Robinson. Do you think that
civil Government is necessary for the
Virgin Islands?
Senator Bingham. That all depends
on what you mean. There is civil govern

Senator Robinson. There are bills pend

Senator Bingham. The bill which |
introduced provides for the civil govern

ais are paid by the Navy and are naval
officers assigned for duty. The governor
is a retired officer of the Navy, who is

Senator Robinson. Considering the
source of compensation Of the officers, is
there in your opinion substantial ground
for changing the government that Is now
in force there and in power there?
Senator Bingham. The bill which [
have introduced, Senator, give my full
views on that.
