"account WKm with Fuller and Dray
Lieutenant Comander Joseph thai, th?
Governor and Mrs. Sirlzer will be th<
other chief witnesses, if the full de
fence the Governor is contending f?
is presented.
Mr. Herrick said to-night that lu
thought the defence would easily flnisi
its case before the end of the week. 1'
in likely, though, that these witne*se.?
and their cross-examination frill tak?
the week, leaving closing argument!
for the foHowing week.
To Bare Sulzer's Lifo.
A rumor that th" Governor was t<
be called upon to account for $66.00(1 ht
vas reported to have obtained tlirougl
the national committee appeare?! i.
fill flat to-night.
This money was said to have geno ti
him in sums of '''..ii.in??. Sl?.<**> an?
SI.?**?. Fifty thousand dollars die
come to this state from the nationa
committee, but it did not go dlrectl:
to Sulzer, according to the report o
ihe committee, now on file in Washing
ton. h is f.iends said to-night.
Counsel for the board of managen
ate not inactive, despite the lull in thi
proceedings. They an- invest igatim
the Governor's reooTd from the time h
entered Congress in the hope that the;
may find damaging evidence on whicl
to ?piestion him <?n cross-examination
They profess to bave found much stiel
evidence, and express the hope tha
he will take tin- witness stand, in or
der ?hat the burs to interrogating bin
may be thrown down.
Doubt Is expressed, however, i
President f?llen will permit them t?
go into ^ul/.er's history before he en
gaged in the campaign for Governor
Counsel for the managers assert the;
believe the?>- will be able to introduc?
this eviden? e when they attempt l<
queation the credibility of the Go\.r
nor's testimony.
Following a couple of motions U
strike out testimony on the grounc
that it was incompetent, the lawyer.?
for the Governor entered on the rec?
ord t<*>-day a formal motion to strikt
out the Impeachment srticles N'??s. '?'?

not been proved.
These articles charge that by briber}
and threats the Governor was guilty <?:
trying to prevent witnesses, of whoir
Frederick I.. Colwell, the missinj
brokeY, is named as one, from test if \
ing before the Frawley legislative com
mittee; that as Governor be used tin
powers of his office to affect the vote
of legislators, and that while Governor
and maintaining a speculative socoun
in a stock broker's office, he used tin
l?owers of his office to affect the prici
| of securities.
President Cullen disposed of thii
question as he did the original motiot
of the defence to dismiss from the ar
tides of impeachment those charginj
perjury and theft in connection witl
unaccounted for campaign contribu
tions. He ruled that inasmuch as ?
Court of Impeachment was like n?
other Judicial body, and was called ot
to decide questions of fact and ques
tlons of law Inextricably blende?!, tin
matter must go until the end of tin
case.
Take* Two-third? Vote Now.
What this means, in prac'.i.al ?feffgd
is that the defence must present it
?.ase, with witnesses and all its argu
ments. Then at the end there will b
a vote on the articles of impeachmenl
article by article, as the rules providt
In that vote the Court of Impeachmen
will decide, after hearing the Gov?
ernor's lawyers and counsel for th
Assembly board of impeachment man
agers, not only whether the article i
to be considered valid by the couri
but whether it has been proved an'
Governor Sulzer is guilty according t
the evidence presented.
The advantage to the Sulzer side 1
this Is the difference between a bar
majority vote and a two-thirds voti
The Governor's counsel show consid
trable elation over the fact that where
as any article could be admitted befoi
the final vote by a bare majority c
the court, the final vote registerin
the court's opinion of the Governor1
Innocence or guilt must be a two-thirc
vote to hold him guilty.
They argue that on all charges, sav
those relating U> the unaccounted fc
campaign funds and their diversion t
Wall Street uses, the evidence sut
mitted by the Impeachment managei
is wofully Inadequate. As to Ai
tides 1, 2 and 6, the perjuty and lai
ceny charges, they are prepared to ai
gue the constitutional question tha
?ven if the Governor did all that
charged, it was dono before he becarr
Governor, and so these things do n<
4onstitute. impeachable offences.
Counsel for the Impeachment mam
ger* while agreeing approximate!
with the defence's lawyers on the in
mediate result of Judge Cullen's ril
Ing placn an entirely different inte:
?>retation on Its sftSOt on the Goven
>r's tenure of office.
Brackett Not Discouraged.
"Anybody who can get comfort oi
of that ruling," said Kdgar T. Bracket
"can get honey out of a horse ches
nut. We maintain that we have ?
?established proof of failure to accoui
for campaign contributions, use i
rampaign contributions in stock gan

to testify or to testify falsely befo!
this very High Court of Impeachtnei
that no mere margin of difference In

vote will save Ins oribe to the r
spondent."
The adjournment ?f the court uni
Monday is another advantage to tl
defence the value of which the pros
cution does not seek to deny. This r
versal of the court's vote of yesterd.
in executive ?session was brought abo
by President Cullen's quick decision

Apologizes to Mr. Fuller.
At the beginning of.the session Isi
dor Krsosl, ?if counsel for the mana?
gers, made an apology to Melville B. ?
Fuller and the firm ?if Harris & Fuller
for his insinuations that their books
had been doctored in certain entries ir.
| the Sulzer speculative account. He
loeld:
"Since Mr. Fuller testified counsel
?for the managers and experts employed ?
by them have had submitted to them
various books and papers of the linn
of Harris & Fuller A careful exami?
nation has been made of the same and
of the entry In question and of corre?
sponding entries referring to the same
Item made in other books of Harris
JA Fuller.
"From such examinations the mana?
gers are convinced that the entry In
the blotter was made in the regular
OOnrss of business of the firm of Har?
ris & Fuller on December 30, 191'... |
notwithstanding the difference In i
handwriting appearing In said entry :
and the position of the entry at the i
bottom of the page.
"The erasures appearing on the page
?in the blotter containing said entry i
have been satisfactorily explained as j
erasures of totals written in lead pen-j
ell in the regular course of bo"k
I keeping before the entry In question
was made on such page.
"The board of managers are glad to
make this explanation publicly in or?
der to remove any misconception that
may have been created concerning the
correctness of the entry by the request j
of counsel made to the court that the
blotter in question be submitted for
examination by experts."
Rules Out 8arecky Tslk.
Austen Q. Fox, of the Sulzer counsel,
then asked to have stricken from the
record certain matter read into it re?
garding testimony given by BsTOCky
before the Frawley committee that he
liad asked the Governor for the place
of deportation agent. Fox argued that
this was hearsay evidence, unsup?
ported by anything corroborative.
Judge Cullen ruled In his favor. He
stipulated, though, that the counsel for
Governor Sulzer must put Sarecky on
j the stand as their witness. Now the
prosecution, on cross-examination, will
? be In a position to attack Sarecky's
I testimony, Which it might not do if he
were the managers' witness.
Judge Cullen did not rule for the de?
fence when Mr. Fox sought to have
striken from the record the Statement
of John Boyd Gray that just before
Colwell, the missing broker, disap?
peared he had told the witness that he
was going to Albany to see Sulzer.
Fox argued that this was hearsay and
incompetent, but Judge Cullen said it
did not prove anything except that the
managers had not been able to get Col?
well.
"It proves nothing, perhaps, to your
honor's trained legal mind," said Fox,
"but what it might prove to myself
and others is beyond my capacity to
foretell."
But Judge Cullen let it stand. Next
Fox said that he wished formally to
j present a motion to strike out Articles
l .'!. 4, ?, 7 and B, but did not care to
! urgue that because of the position
I Judge Cullen had Just taken that such
j matters must be left to the end of the
| case. Fox did this, he explained, only
I so it might not be understood that the
defence seceded to any notion that
there was evidence enough presented
to warrant an adverse verdict under
those articles.
Must Wait, Court Rules.
"The court does not wish to eppear
to rule on your motions in advance.''
said President Cullen, "but the Judg?
ment Of the COUH on another question
practically disposes of some of the ob?
jections of the general character of
which you have spoken. That is to
??ay, that what is proved here In this
case, and if it is proved, is that there
is any ground to impeach this re?
spondent: that has got to go to the
final determination of the court, and 1
think that statement dearly controls
the disposition of the present motion.
Fol said he did not wish to seem to
argue against the ruling, but this situ?
ation seemed a HttlS different from
that in the first csse. where de?i.s|on on
a grave constitutional question was re

served unty the end. But, h?* went on,
in anv ordinary criminal ?ase It was
pomlbhi to have eliminated ?barges
when the prosecution rested on the as
(?umption that the Indictment was gond
if there was evidence from whl? h the
Jury might legitimately tind a verdict
of guilty
Be OOntended that the impeachment
managers in this case had not only not
proved but by th?ir evidence had dis?
proved several chSTgee, and It was only
fooUshnem and wast.? of time in mak?
ing the sulzer side put in evidence on
these matters.
"Of course. In SB ordinary criminal
trial you have a Jury and the Judge, or
court, if it Is composed of more than
one," answered Judge Cullen. "The
jury disposes of the fact and the judge
disposes Of the law, but here In an
Impeachment trial the facts and the
law are almost inextricably blended)
unless, Of course, in an extravagant
? ase that is only possible to imagine,
that the thing was absurd either one
way or the other, either the charge <>r
the objections, and, therefore, it s? MM
to me we have got to adopt here Just
the same ?ourse we did before, and
frince rend? ring that opinion I nee I am
fortified in the position I then as?
sumed by the remarks of a learned and
great Judge on the trial of Judge
Barnard.
Quotes Barnard Case.
"The question was sought to be
raised there, on motion, whether on
certain articles he could be compelled
to answer questions; whether he could
be impeached for offences committed
in a previous term. He ?aid that
question should bo left to the trial.
He said at that time it may be raised
fiy objection to the evidence, but he
appears to have changed his opinion
and allowed the evidence to come in
and the v. hol?? CSUM was finally sub?
mitted, aud therefore, unless some
g??ntlernen wish to take a vote of the
court. 1 shall hold that motions in?
volving the probative force of compe?
tent SVtdOCS must be left to the final
submission of the case."
Mr. Bsrrtck expressed surprise at
the ruling, saving counsel had sup?
posed that th?- discussion of the mo?
tion to dismiss these orttcltS would
take ?onsiderable time.
"We are not in condition to go on,"
said he. "and I renew my motion for a
postponement of the case until Mon?
day. I tnl?l you yesterday that one of
my associates had nearly broken down.
He is still worse now. It Is Impossible
