Standing at the ele- 1 vated clerk's desk in the senate and o facing Judge Archbald. who had been * his friend, he said, for 30 years, th< o aged Welchman became a silent wit. ness for part of the time to the duel b between the house managers and * Judge Archbsld's lawyers as to what evidence and testimony should be a admitted before the court. P Chief Interest today centered about 11 the first article of the charges, which ^ alleged that Judge Archbald bad ex- p erted influence upon officers of the b Erie when they had a lighterage case pending in his court, to compel theft t to give an option to Williams on its b portion of the Katydid refuse cofJ o heaps owned through its subsidiary F .company, the HUloide Coal and Iron " Company.
