Sept. 3.—Information brought to Macon by attorneys re turning from Mount Airy, Ga., is to the effect that Judge Emory Speer will conduct his own defense in the investigation of his judicial record by a subcommittee of the House Judi ciary Committee late in the fall. In the event that the committee should recommend impeachment proceedings, it is understood also that Judge Speer will still act as his own counsel. Lawyers who will act as advisory counsel are Judge A. J. Cobh, of Athens; Judge Enoch Callaway, of Augusta, and Orville A. Park, of Ma con, all close personal friends to Judge Speer. Before going to the bench Judge Speer was celebrated as an advocate, and as District Attorney he made a splendid reputation. On account of his striking ability along that line, his friends here are gratified that he is going to be his own lawyer. Judge Speer will not return to Macon until about the middle of October, as he has hay fever and never leaves the moun tains until cold weather begins. In a letter received by a Macon cit izen from a member of the Georgia delegation, the statement is made that when the subcommittee begins an in vestigation in Macon in November any citizen will be privileged to ap pear before it and testify against Judge Speer. That is. the investiga tion will not be confined to the charges already cited against the Judge.

An nouncement was made a few days be fore Labor Day that many extra trains were being put on to accom modate the heavy traffic and all the details of these special schedules will be demanded by the investigators. Meanwhile the railroad officials, Coroner and Engineer Elwell have been hearing the stories of the rail road men who are tentatively held responsible for the disaster, Engineer Miller and Flagman Murray. Accord ing to their statement, the Bar Har bor express had passed Into the block past the banjo signals, which would have warned the White Mountain express 3 miles back, had it been set. Sixty-Mile Speed Charged. The Bar Harbor express stopped just outside the signal, but later started again and calling in the flag man, gave the succeeding train the right of way over 3 miles of track, which, under 60-mile headway, which many passengers say was'the speed of the train, would have brought it to the scene of the collision in just three minutes, not enough time to permit the preceding train to get out of the way. Flagman Murray's signals were un doubtedly set, but they were abso lutely useless, according to the testi mony, as the approaching train was already bearing down upon him with in the block, even as he set his tor pedoes. The charge tentatively laid against him is that he failed to set off a coston signal, as it is claimed was his duty in the fog that pre vailed. Say ^Engineer Was Warned, That Engineer Miller received warning that he was closely follow ing the Bar Harbor train at Meriden, miles beyond the scene of the acci dent, is the evidence of C. J. Dana- her, a lawyer of that city, who yes terday told of hearing the two trains pass his home and hearing the White Mountain express explode two tor pedoes of warning. The evidence of L. G. Morse, of Chicago, a passenger on the Bar Har bor express, is a severe arraignment of the trainmen in charge of that train. Mr. Morse says emphatically that the brakes on the Bar Harbor express were set at the time the wreck occurred. Having been a brakeman on the Boston and Maine Railroad at one time, he lost no time when the train stopped In getting off to see what was the cause of the stop. Passenger Accuses Brakeman. At this time he says he saw the brakeman. who, he supposed, was flagman, standing at about the thir teenth car on the train whistling and tossing pebbles into the bushes be side the track. He walked toward the engine and had taken but a few steps when he heard the crack of two torpedoes followed almost immediate ly by the crash. The grinding of the huge locomotive through the cars was followed by the screams of the dying and wounded. “The torpedoes were entirely too near the train to have given any ade quate warning of danger,” said Mr. Morse. “The brakeman should have gone back to signal the following train. We had been at a standstill fully six minutes when the crash came, ample time for the train behind us to have been stopped.” Mr. Morse was also emphatic in his criticism of the construction of the cars. Attacks Car Structure. “Mr. Mellen testified before the In terstate Commerce Commission," he said, “that all the trains were equip ped with steel eye beams. On our train there was not a single eye beam.” President Howard Elliott, whose ghastly introduction to the manage ment of the New Haven road, has given him a careworn look, declines to add to his statement that every ef fort would be made to give the public every detail of evidence as the facts were developed.
