requested that they be read. The first
was dated December 4. 1903, and wks
from Boise Penrose to John I>. Arch,
bold. It said in part:
"I regard this matter as of very
great importance and I will see
Senator Aldrich if such is your de
sire.”
<j. Do you know what is referred to
in this matter"
A. No, I know of nothing snvr what
is In the letters themselves
A letter was then read in which John
D. Archbold, communicating with for
mer Senator Foraker, of Ohio, wild
‘‘ln reference to our talk. I will
make you the loan of $50,000, $25,-
000 to be paid immediately and the
remainder in 5,000-dollar notes.”
The next letter was also written by
Archbold and was to Representative
Sibley. In this missive he informed
Sibley that a certlflcati of deposit of
$5,000 had been sent him at the "re
quest of Mr. Griscom.” «
The letter added "Os the purpose of
this you are no doubt aware.”
Foraker Reported
Situation Well in Hand.
A letter, dated March 5, 1900, related
to Ohio legislation, whlh* still another,
written March 9. 1900, read:
•‘My Dear Senator Foraker —I
have your favor of last night. Per
haps it would be better to make
demonstration against the whole
bill. Surely the ninth clause ought
to be stricken out. Also a similar
clause in Representative Pice’s bill.
Am very glad to hear that you
think the situation is well in hand.
Very truly yours,
“JOHN D. ARCHBOLD.”
Q. Have you any other letters?
A. These are all that would come un
der the scope of this inquiry
By Senator Pomerene:
Q. Arc you sure that you have pro
duced all the letters that would come
within the scope of this investigation?
A. I am. I have construed the reso
lution fully and if I have erred at all it
is on the side of liberality.

DONSGHEYENDS
CONVICT LEJSEC
Arkansas Governor Pardons
| 360 Prisoners as Rebuke to
Penal System.
LITTLE ROCK, ARK.. Dee. 17.—Be
cause he considered the convict lease
system in Arkansas inhuman and sen
tences imposed by magistrates a mis
carriage of justice. Governor George
W. Donaghey in effect abolished the
lease system when he issued pardons to
316 state and 14 county convicts.
Prisoners engaged in building roads
will continue to serve their sentences.
Only those being worked under lease
contracts will be set free. Their sen
tences range from one io fifteen years.
The wholesale pardoning wipes out the
three largest convict camps in the state.
Governor Donaghey, who retires from
office in January, will send a special mes
sage to the Arkansas legislature, when it
convenes, calling attention to this extra
ordinary use of the pardon pow-er and de
manding that laws be enacted to legally
abolish the lease system, reorganize the
state penal system and restrict authority
of magistrates to Impose sentences for
trivial offenses. It is declared that in
many instances magistrates have im
posed sentences for misdemeanor of
fenses that in other states would have
been considered excessive for felony
charges.
For months Governor Donaghey has
been making a careful study of the con
vict system in Arkansas and in view of
developments that have been made pub
lic from time to time, his action in or
dering the hundreds of convicts liber
ated is not a surprise in this state. He
lias hail special agents and detectives in
vestigating conditions and he has acted
upon information furnished by them, as
well as from personal inspections of the
camps.

ARCHBALD WILL”
BEOWNWITNLSS
Jurist to Testify at His Im
peachment, Lawyers Decide
After Long Consultation.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17,-Judg.
Robert W. Archbald will take the stand
in his own defense when the senate
convenes after the Christmas holidays.
The exact date has not been deter
mined, but it is said that Judge Arch
bald will be the last witness before the
government begins its rebuttal.
IH cling that there are many matters
in connection with the articles of im
peachment which can best be explained
by the Jurist, his counsel, after a
lengthy consultation, however, reached
this decision.
It is not expected that the trial will
be concluded before January 8. In de
elding the fate of Judge Archbald the
senate' in all probability will go into
executive session. No arguments by
senators will be permitted during the
trial.
The second count in the articles of
impeachment against the judge was to
be refuted by the defense in the senate
Impeachment proceedings today with
nine witnesses to prove that the jurist’s
effort to settle the differences between
the Marian Coal Company and the
Lackawanna railroad was put forth
purely out of friendship.
John W. Peale, who brought suit
against the Boland Brothers just before
Judge Archbald endeavored to sell the
Marian Coal Company to the railroad,
was scheduled to be the star witness.
The defense relied upon him to prove
that no mercenary motive actuated the
judge.
