Smith will not face actual impeachment proceedings for alleged misbehavior irt ofike before the "Bloody Fifth" Ward murder con spiracy charges are ricd. This announcement was mnde today by a member of the prosecution, who said that such n strong case has been presented against the Mayor that ho will be convicted, whereupon impeach ment will become automatic. Threatening arrests as a counter blow against tfie prosecution, State Senator Edwin H. Vnre, named as "the little fellow" in the conspiracy, today promised n complete exposure "under oath" of what he alleged to be a rolossal "frame-up"' against the Vare political fnction, of Avhich all the de fendants are adherents.

The Coroner's inquest into the killing of Acting Detective George A. Eppley probably will be held next Wednesday. It was Eppley's death at the hands of imported New York gunmen in tho primary election of September 19 that precipitated the grave charges against the Mayor and other "men higher up." Hint of impeachment proceedings waa given when former Judge James Gay Gordon, of the prosecution, asked that the Mayor be held for misbehavior in office in addition to the other charges as a preliminary to "putting into opera tion the machinery to remove him." It was pointed out today, however, that impeachment proceedings pnbably would impede the trial, the futility of such proceedings a Vare -Mayor being tried before it Vare Select Council Leing further pointed out. Attorneys of the prosecution expressed confidence that a conviction can be registered against the Mayor, branded by Judge Brown as the "principal malefactor" in the crime.
