Swayne, serving as a federal judge for the Northern District of Florida, faced impeachment proceedings over allegations of misconduct and corruption. The charges included accusations of using court funds for personal expenses, accepting gifts improperly, and engaging in inappropriate behavior on the bench. The House of Representatives voted to impeach him in 1904, initiating a trial in the Senate. Despite a vigorous defense, including claims of innocence and challenges to the evidence, Swayne was acquitted in 1905. His acquittal marked a significant moment in American legal history, demonstrating the scrutiny and accountability of federal judges while underscoring the importance of due process in impeachment proceedings. Richard W. Parker served as a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing the state of New Jersey from 1895 to 1907. Affiliated with the Democratic Party during his tenure, Parker contributed to legislative matters during a significant period in American history.
