Pa., chief wit ness so far In the House Jndlclary com mittee's Investigation of the alleged transaction between Judge Archbald, of the commerce Court, and the Erie Kail road, furnished a sensation at today's hearing when he denounced William P. Boland. also of Scranton and author ot the charges against the Jurist, as "a traitor, a cut-throat and a dangerous man." While Williams hotly denounced Bo land, who sat within arm's length, he also charged him with once having "doped" a lawyer In Scranton to get certain Information. Williams repudi ated a letter signed by him and sent to Vice-President Conn, of the Laurel line, who had contracted to buy the Katydid Culm Bank from Williams and Archbald after they had obtained an option upon it from the Erie. Photograph ef Letter Held. A photograph of the letter is In the possession of the Department of Jus tice. A reference In the letter to "a party with whom you have been deal ing" was construed to mean Judge Archbald. Attorney Worthlngton. for the Judge, sought to bring out an In ference that Boland had Inspired the letter and photographed it before It was sent to Conn. Williams, on the stand, declared he had never seen It. "Do you think it possible that you might have been under the Influence of liquor when you signed this letter to Conn?" asked Representative Mc Coy. "Tea. It is possible.'l answered Wil liams. "Boland ml ht have taken ad vantage of me. he's that kind of a man, according to his words to me." Talk With Archbald Cited. "Did you talk to Judge Archbald after you were subponaed about this case?" asked Chairman Clayton. "Yes, and all Judge Archbald told me was to tell the whole truth; to tell all I knew about It." "Did Judge Archbald ever tell you that you might be rewarded in the fu ture df you gave favorable testimony here or refrained from giving damag ing testimony?" "No. sir." Representative Webb asked Williams If he thought it was proper for him to ask Judge Archbald, against whom he was going to testify, for money to pay his fare to Washington. ... Williams said It made no difference where he got the money; he had told the truth. He also said he first asked Boland for money, but was refused. THREE BISHOPS GO OUT WARREX.
