Charges a Joke Declares Probers Of Judge Russell a Joke
The investigation into charges against Judge Richard B. Russell, chief judge of the court of appeals, by W. T. Moyers, a discharged court stenographer, collapsed as a farce. Witnesses including Judge Pottle and Judge Cobb defended Russell’s integrity while Moyers pressed baseless claims of theft and graft, leading the committee to dismiss the matter as ridiculous. The panel consisted of W. H. Conner, W. Griffin, S. Olive, W. J. Mathews, and J. H. Evans.
