sale of certain parts of his estate had
been placed without Interest In a
bank of which Judge Speer's busi
ness partner was president and his
brother In law vice president, where,
it had remainpd for more than three
years, that he had been citer for con
tempt for addressing a letter to Judge
Speer in which he complained of the
bankruptcy proceedings and that
what he claimed was a solvent estate
had been wasted by long bankruptcy
litigation.
V. C. Snodgrass, an attorney , of
Thomasville, Ga., testified that Judge
Speer was arbitrary and tyrannical,
that litigants were slow- to file suits
in his court, fearing that they could
not get justice.

had withdrawn ali litigation lu which
he appeared as,counsel from Judge
