In presenting % the resolution Mr. Clayton said: "The committee reached the unani mous conclusion that the charges were of such grave nature that fur ther investigation was warranted. I may say that not only members of the Judiciary Committee, but other mern hers of the House, have given this subject carefu! attention. "No member of the committee has had opportunity to talk with the wit nesses, and so the committee did not feel like voting to impeach Judge Speer. Urges Fair Inquiry. "If Judge Speer is not guilty of tho wrongful conduct alleged against him. a committee of this House ought to vindicate him. If it reaches the con- ! elusion that he should be Impeached I and removed, the House owes it to the I people to take this course. "Several members of the committee j have expressed the hope that this ! Judge Is not guilty, but we felt it was only fair to the country to bring in this resolution.” Minority Leader Mann said he had ; never heard of a similar case being started in such a manner, with no i one making an actual charge on the floor of the House. “I doubt the propriety of the Hous *, j having no charges before it. author- ! i/.ing a committee to proceed with an investigation,” said Mr. Mann. "I have seen no charge in the papers worthy of investigation." "Does the gentleman think I ougnt to give out the charges at this point?” asked Mr. Clayton. “I think the House ought to be in formed,” said Mr. Mann. Representative Bartlett, of Georgia, pointed out that some of the most im portant charges, those made by Colo nel Huff, had been thoroughly aired. Bartlett for Quick Action. "Justice demands this investiga tion,” said Mr. Bartlett. "You should be careful; you should be quick io allow a quick investigation of charges made by renutable citizens. I hops no member will be so unjust to the people of that district as to do any thing to impede an investigation." Mr. Mann persisted In his objection, and the resolution w- nt over. The procedure kfl|n ir. this case, so far as the resolution £or an in vestigation Is concerned, i the same as that in the impeachment proceed ings against Judges Swayne, Hanford and Arch bold.
