Aug 26—A reso lution to investigate the charges against Judge Emory fipeer, of Geor gia, was introduced in the House to day by Chairman Clayton, of the Ju diciary Committee. An effort to Dave it considered Im mediately .ailed, on the objection r »f Minority Leader Mann, and the reso lution went oyer until to-morrow. 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 th«* Judiciary Committee, but other mem bers of the House, have given this subject careful attention. No member of the committee his 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 i» not guilty of th*? wrongful conduct alleged against him, a committee of tills House ought to vindicate him. If it reaches tlie con clusion that lie should be impeached and removed, the iHouse owes it to the people to take this course. “Several members of the committee 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 one n).iking an actual charge on the floor of the House. 1 doubt tiie propriety of the Hous?, having no charges before it, author izing 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 cd allow a quick investigation of charge s made by renut a hie citizens. I hope no member will be 90 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 wont ove.\ The procedure ken it this case, so far as the resolution £t#r an in vestigation is concerned, 1 the same as that in the impeachment proceed ings against Judges Svvayne, Hanford and Archbold. 'The resolution set fort! that the charges made against Judge Speer were of such a grave nature that Un warranted further investigation, and provided that the Judiciary Commit tee be authorized to proceed with the inquiry. If the committee finds that further steps are justified, it will rec ommend the impeachment of Judge Speer, it is declared.
