The charjf^s of Immorality | have be?n dropped and the Judge j faces only the charge of being only an unfit Judge. J Raleigh. Mar. 80. ? The legislative committee late yesterday definitely announced that It attaches no Im portance to the Immorality phases of the evidence brought out In the Investigation of the conduct of Judge Frank Carter. With this, one halfj of the moving cause of the Investi gation falls, and a large part of the burden on tho defense has br^en Mft r?d. What now remains are the charges of overbearing and dt*tato rlsl conduct on the bench and hi* lack of Judicial temperament. To refute these Jduge Carter himself was on the stand yewterday.

It was definitely de r -ml nod yesterday afternoon before >p. ?'men! that three hours would i on each wide for oral argu ment when the cross examination of Judge Carter Is completed. The judge held the stand almost the entire day and under the smooth and unctous examination of Attorney N. J. Rouse has stood up well for a man who Is really being tried now for Irascibility of temper and Injus tices to attorney*, witnesses and lit igants. The prosecution has ham mered Ms erldenco which onlookers were amazed to see gtren with such imperturabltlty. IT ad Judge Carter bo<?n as suave In Wake. Harnett, Sampson.

The Judge has been softened by the strain If he was harsh before It began. He has made a superb wit ness and under the most adroit ex lamination of a wonderfully clev?r lawyer has said nothing that seemed | to hav? shr>cked or embarrassed those who defend him.
