APRIL 5, 1916.-Ordered to be printed.
Mr. WEBB, from the Committee on the Judiciary, submitted the
following
REPORT.
[To accompany H. Res. 193.]
By direction of the Committee on the Judiciary, I beg leave to
make the following report, in the nature of a statement, to the
House of Representatives. On the 12th day of January, 1916, Hon.
Frank Buchanan, a Representative in Congress from the State of
Illinois, arose, in his responsible position, on the floor of the House
and impeached H. Snowden Marshall, district attorney for the
southern district of the State of New York, charging the said
H. Snowden Marshall with numerous malfeasances and misfeasances
and with corrupt and improper behavior and conduct in office.
Immediately after the reading of said charges, Representative
Buchanan offered for the immediate consideration of the House
resolution 90, which provided, among other things, that the Com-
mittee on the Judiciary be directed to inquire and report whether the
action of this House is necessary concerning the alleged official mis-
conduct of H. Snowden Marshall, etc. After debate on the resolu-
tion, the House, upon motion of Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York, referred
the resolution to the Committee on the Judiciary for its consideration
and action.
The Committee on the Judiciary immediately began the considera-
tion of said resolution and called Representative Buchanan before it
to make such statement and furnish such information concerning the
truth of his impeachment charges, as set out in House resolution 90,
as he was able to make and furnish. Thereafter, on the 27th day of
January, 1916, by direction of the Judiciary Committee, the chairman
thereof offered in the House of Representatives the following resolu-
tion:
House resolution 110.
Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary in continuing their consideration of
House resolution 90 be authorized and empowered to send for persons and papers,
to subpoena witnesses, to administer oaths to such witnesses, and take their testimony.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.trials/allmissn0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
