 Chivalrous Lousanians vocfer- ouSly denounced the Huey Long regime for sanctioning Mrs le Boeuf's execu- ton, and, coupled with the strip raid" revelations and accounts of the prior studio party. the impeachment pro- cecdingS seemed to rjpcn toward full tillmcnt.
 Then came the dramatic Senate hearing. Without one word of tcs- tlmony having been given, the court Nindlcated Governor Long. Just as the prosecution was about to usher in its first witness, Senator Gilbert pre- sented written motion to adjourn sine die. Fifteen Senators were sig natores. Thirteeen would have been enough to quash the anti-Long agita- ton. It had been the first attempt to hang an impeachment on Q Louisiana Governor.
 In many ways the vindication of Governor Long came as fitting climax to life brimming with color, vividneSs and spectacular happenings.

 He first ventured into business when. at the age of thirteen. he became g book agent. The next yeal he went to work in printing office and learned to set type by hand. in the shop of the Southern Sentinel. At sixteen he got a joh in New Orleans with the New York company for whom he sold a lard substitute, Among his many duties was the conducting of baking contests in towns through which he passed in the discharge of his work The first prize awarded in Shreveport was brides loaf cake. The pretty winner eventually became Mrs Huev P. Long.
 The next year Long borrowed S45O and entered Tulane University. He chose special law course. By work ing fourteen hours a day he succeeded in finishing the four-year course in year and passed the State eXamina, tions for the bar. Just three years after his admittance to practise he was elected Public Service Commissioner.
 In 1924 Long was defeated for the nomination. He renewed his efforts with spectacular success. His plurality in 1928 was very large and swept him into office with dramatic vigor.

Before Word of Testimony Had
 Been Taken.
 A HANDSOME and dashlng young A governor; a gay studio party,
 replete with laughter dancing and drinks-then, that same night, a National Guard raiding sortie on re- sorts suspected of harboring gambling.
 There are certainly all tie elements of a rousing short story in this blend of personalities and events. If the late 0. Henry had ever heard of Huey P. Long, chief executive of the State of Louisiana, the fictioner would prob ably have been tempted to weave the varying strands into one of his i'm mortal tabloid dramas
 But at the time--a month before Long had been vindicated by mem, bers of the Louisiana Senate sitting as a court of impeachment-fact and fiction were too hopelessIy muddled to invite the creative artist to com position.
 Very few, even those with no par tisan tendencies, outside the State, knew what it was all about, except that an attempt had been made to i'm. peach Long, youngest man ever to oc- cupy the gubernatorial char. on several counts, boiled down to one.
 One of the most startling pieces ot testimony during the House impeach ment proceedings was offered by II. A (''Battling") Bozeman. former body guard of Governor Long
 Taking the stand at Baton Rouge, Bozeman told how he had been dis missed from the highway service "Why were you discharged from the Highway Commission?" he was asked under cross-examination. "Because refused to kill J. Y. Sanders for Huey P Long," was Bozeman's reply
 Are you sure?'
 "They told me that they were cut. ting down the force, but l didn't be. lievc that"
 "Why did the Governor want vou for his bodyguard?" he was asked
 ''He told me he had heard | was pretty good man physically, and he was not d fighter He wanted me to protect him from probable assailants.
 Didn't you testify before the Sen ate Committee that you were not the Governors bodyguard?"
 Yes; the Governor told me to make that statement
 With Long now in the clear, most of the legal details of his fight to es tabllsh his good name read like local trivia-such is the evanescent interest in indicial proceedings But the sparkle and drama of the studio party. with it's aftermath of gambling raids, is still fresh and crisp in the public's mind

most of the time "he was sitting on the settee with woman," according to Miss Clfford's version.
 She swore also. at House hearn. 10 consider the Impeachment, that just before Long left the Danziger party. she overheard him say "Now I am feeling good enough to do what have to do"
