A guilty verdict is rendered in the impeachment trial of Judge Eugene St. Julien Cox, who had been accused of conducting a trial while drunk. His cause probably was not helped when ten bartenders testified to his ability to hold liquor. Cox was removed from office, but his allies in the Democratic Party later helped reverse the conviction.
