Impeachment Dropped Against Judge Hanford by House
Washington reports Chairman Henry D. Clayton of the House Judiciary Committee will drop further impeachment actions against Judge Hanford of Washington after his resignation. Clayton cites Belknap precedent but says no further pursuit is needed and a subcommittee in Seattle will be discontinued. Berger and others indicate the inquiry ends with the resignation. Taft awaits the resignation letter before any action, amid broader concerns of bench corruption.
