Under the law the officer who is sought to be Impeached must be cited

into court not earlier than five days after the filing of the proceedings and not later than ten. and the hearing shall be had not later than twenty days from the time of the filing of the complaint. The proceeding is summary In its nature and will be heard without a Jury. The attorney general or a lawyer delegated by him is the proper person to prosecute the case. In an impeachment proceeding In which-the defendant is indicted by the grand Jury a trial may be had. Since the filing of the cast there has been considerable speculation as to

who will try It. The defendant has the

right to ask for a change from the judge In whose court the case Is filed. It is thought that none of the other judges In the county would want to try the case if Patterson should ask for a change and it would then fall to the lot of Judgre McMaban to appoint a special judge. Attorney Patterson's term does not expire until a year from next January.
