Albany. Oct. 9?Senator Abraham J.

Mr?. Siib:er told their ?ntire story on th?
night of Autrnst It, a tow ho.irs before the
Governor tva* impeached by the Assembly.

truth" of the case, and he though*
should he taken whnh would insure the
"whole truth" being put into the record.
"I have conducted lanumersble ecclesi?

of the method. In those trials w? fol
lOSfSi the eii?*toin of inviting those per- |
sons who knew the truth of a matter be- |
fore our court and just basing them toll
that truth.
"There are four people who know '
truth of the matters concerned in this
trial The? re Si reeky. Morgan. Oov?
ernor and Mrs p:!zer Bsrsek*" we hiv?
heard from. Morgan has been In attend?
ance all through the trial and Oovc-nor
and Mrs Puiser should be lnvit- d to at?
tend and tell us ?':? *
"Of course. I rtn a layman, so far as
the last is concerned, bul 1 do r. '
why the law SlHMkl Step In to Interfere
with the court In ascertaining th.
tr-ith."
It was Silliest Hi to the Senator that the ,
Qevi mot t i Un i ouW have ?
taken the witness Stand had they deebl ?
to do ?...
"Well, they should have been invited to
do so," he commented.
Senator Palmer was asked whether the
storv he had heard in co?irt was at va?
riance In anv way with what he had rea?
son to believe was the truth of the case.
"No," he said. "I should say that there
have not been any contradictions, but the
story we have heard In eourt is not the
whole of the truth In the matter, and
that is what we ought to pet.
"Remember that I have not said that
I have made up my mind about this. As j
I understand my duty. It is to consider
only what I heard from the witness ,
. stand. After that I will listen to what
the Judges may instruct or ad'.lse us as
to the law, and then I will make my de?
cision, and not until then."
It was suggested to the Senator that
the only possible Inference to be drawn
from his ronssfhs was that the story he
had been told on the night of August 12 ?
by the Governor and Mrs. Sulzer would
go far toward explaining much of th- ac?
cusatory matter now standing undented :
against the Governor.
"Well. I want to explain to you that I ?
have no patience with this idea that Mrs
Puiser should not be railed upon to take
the stand," he said. "Mrs Sulzer Is a i
very capable woman, abundantly able to
take c-are of herself on the witness t-tand.
Sad th? stor> she might tell would assist
the court in determining the truth.
"I have never told any one what I heard ?
en August 12, and that story should be !
made publie. When I saw Senator 1'raw
ley that night I asked him whether If I '
would tell btaB ?-ome things I had learned
he would try to delay and hold up the im- '
peachnvnt. at least, until he had investi
gated the sto-y I could tell him. He said j
he knew everything that I knew, and M
I let the matter drop, but I think the ,
story should be told, and for that purpose
Governor and Mrs Sulzer should be In?
vited to take the stand "
Senator T'almer said he would suggest
such a ourse when the court came to the
p?">lnt of deliberating on and considering
ths cast when the arguments are finished.

SEARCH FOR 'BLOOD MONEY'
Police Seek $500 Negro Was

Los Angeles. Oct. 9?Detectives set out
to-day for Tijuana. Lower California, to
dig for the "blood money" said to have
been buried near that place by Burr L.
Harris, the negro who confessed to the
murder of Mrs. Rebecca P, Gay, a Chris?
tian Scientist practitioner of this city.
Harris told the police last night that he
was paid t?OO to murder the woman. He
Implicated another negro as having acted
as agent for a third person, but did not
disclose the name of either.
The negro's confession supports th?
original theory' of the police tnat Mrs.
Gay had been killed by a paid asssassin St
the instigation of her enemies.

a cause- but ? necessity for removal

"It is the duty of this high court to
find a verdict of guilty ai to <a<"h on?
'.f th?.-??. trinee articles," argued Parker,
.referring to the falae sCitement, per?
I Jury and theft article.??.
He contended that the evidence pre?
sented by th?- Assembly Board of Im
I pea-"hment Managers s ata?ed them
and they were not contradicted by Um
' respondent. The testimony, he went
on, showed that th<- Governor must
have known the campaign statement
waB false, because it did not contain
items of checks and cash delivered to
him personally. The testimony showed
that, notwithstanding Sarecky's at?
tempted glossing over of the aets as
purely formal, the Governor swore to
and signed the affidavit annexed to the
false statement, thus constituting him?
self i perjurer. And, finally, he was
guilty of theft, because h<- converted to
his use mon? y obtained as campaign
contributions, larceny being the ob?
taining of money under false pretences
and ellence as to the uses to which he
intended to put the money being a
false pretence.
Two Differing Personalities.
Parker's manner in making his ad?
dress was strikingly different from
that of his adversary. Marshall, with
a prepared address of about 35.? ?00
words, declaimed the more human and
personal parts like the finished orator
that he is. He held the attention of
the members of the court closely, es?
pecially during his passionate appeal
to the court not to convict the Gov?
ernor "on the groiifid of moral turpi?
tude ?r on general principles." Parker
read his argument in a low, monoto?
nous voice. It was the kind of an ar?
gument he would have presented to
the Court of Appeals, delivered in ex?
actly the same manner.
No anewer bad been made by the ce
fence, Parker said, to any of the ma?
terial facts brought out by the prose?
cution Be traced the growth of the
statutes governing the use of money
at elections down to the. awakening of
publij sentiment following the insur?
ants investigation, showing the de?
bauchery of political life by corpora?
tion funds. Then Charles E. Hughes
drafted a law, the purpose of wbfcfl
was to prevent any contribution oeing
made to a candidate for political office
and any expenditure of money wlth?*,*t
such publicity as would make the peo?
ple of the state fully aware of Ihe
financial connections and transactions
of the candidate.
He analyzed the provisions of the
(election and penal (awe. alleging that
a ?candidate must mak?- .1 State*

'and expenditures, must swear

mlttel that the notary, Wolff, ?:. Isted

all) and making h;rn admit that b<

statement. Parker flayed the t-'ar.
IteeUmony, picturing Bereeky ae un*
worthy of belief bacanes <.f hie .

to which be rigned Butoert num??.
There has been ? (reel attempt to
?create an atmopphere thai William
Sulzer is a man who It absolutely
blank so far as douai and < '.'
concerned," said Parkir, "but ?t must
been borne in on your honors
that he is very thrifty. Indeed, and bee
quite 1 knowledge of business affairs "
Then he portrayed Bulser going to
.1 . ob H. Schill for a campaign <-on
itribuUon and protesting that it w is
I not larger, and demanding from Allan
a. Ryan that he ?-.?t 17.000 or m?*re,
|and telling him to tell his father, "I'm
th? same old Bill."
Parker Draws in Inference.
"Was it net Implied that he had been
serviceable te him. <ir friendly on other
oc?*aslons and would be again'."' queried
Pel ker
if a 1 andldate applied for s campaign
contribution end t..?-.k the money it did
not let him out of the law* penalti..- for
somebody later t.. sa?, that th? monej was
intended for him to do what he lilted with.
Parker contended. And even if fculzer,
the candidate, did not specifically ask for
campaign '-ontrlbutions. he was making a
campaign, be t..?.k th.- money m s candi?
date and people COUld onlv mean th. t
they ga?e the money to him to further
his election, even though they gave it
knowing that h?* was p?...r and might luv.?
heavy personal espeneea
In this connection failure of the can
didate t.. say be Intended to devote th?
money to purely personal uses brought
furh diversion of funds directly within
the statutory definition of larceny.
"Men who d-sired to have their party
win. who desired to help th?lr friend," said
Parker, "men who had been accustomed,
perhaps, to assist in the giving of mon?;}'
In early days, gave It not that he might
put it In his pocket, not that he might
buy farms for his old age. not tnat it
might be laid away against that later
1 day when he could not earn money, but
for the purpose of helping him toward
meeting that burden which nearly every
candidate finds riuite hCUVJ "
Louis Marshall in nLs argument for the
Governor took up all of the morning ses?
sion and a little more than an hour of
the afternoon. He lead so rapidly that
at one or two points he was requested by
Senators to go more slowly that . ey
might be able to follow him carefully.
While, he centred his attack chiefly upon
Articles I. 11 and VI, he also addresse-l
himself briefly to earh of the other
charge?.
Court Making History.
?On the three eampalirn fund articles his
argument was in nubstan"e an amplulca
tlon of those of I?. Cady Herrick and
Irving G. Vann. of the Sulrer coiinvi,
when these two lawyers presented the
contentions of the defence challenging
their lmpeachablllty.
"We are on the threshold of an 'v?-,nt
which will make a permanent Impression
upon the history of our beloved state. '
I said Marshall, "which will entail ?;onse
j ?,uences far beyond our ken. which will
determine whether or not the r*tgn of ?aw
has ceased and that of passion and ijr^Ju
diee has begun."
8ulser. he said, was on trial, not be?
cause, while an incumbent of office, he
had been guilty of of?Vial corruption < r
because he had done aught to injure the
public weal, but because of the charges

Elements of Perjury Lacking.
Perjury, he argued, could be cbarfsd
only upon an oath required by law and
upon an oath whleh must be knowingly,
wilfully and corruptly false. Th? art!? le
Cbarclna larceny, he went on, should be
dismissed l.tsause the givers of money
consented t?> the taking of the money by
Bul? i without limitations
Marshall cited the impfounloMty of
American politicians who have attained
to high office, mentioning the cunen of
Daniel Webster and William McKinley,
In his discussion Of the charges relating
to the Influencing of witnesses. Marshall
contended that the appearance of M'-lvlll?
H. Kulbr OB the witness stand v..is an
SnSWSr to that ehargS IS BO far as it re?
lated to the broker, and he then dilated
at length upon the accusation of "doc
I toring" bOSfcS made by Istdor Kresel
j against Fuller, for which Kreeel later
j was forced to apologize in behalf of the
managers.
Frederick L. Colwell's absence from the
witness stund, said Marshall, could not
be imputed to Suljer on the evidence
prep.-i.ted, and the fact that Louis A.
Sareeky appeared and testified absolved
Sulzer from that charge with re.-pect to
him.
Coming down then to Duncan W.
Peck s testimony that Sulzer told him to
"forg'-t It" with respect to a $5?? con?
tribution, he advanced the argument that
Peck had a motive for "inventing the
story" because of the Investigation of thu I
Department of Highways by John A_
Hennessy, th? ?GovCTTwr's special inves?
tigator.
Henry Morgenthau's testimony that Sut?
ler telephoned asking him to "be easy" en
him Marshall dismissed with the remark
that such a request "was but natural,"
and as to the evidence of Allan A. Ryan,
that Sulzer ha?l asked him to Intercede
with Murphy and Harnes, ho said "that
evidence was Injected Into the case for
the purpose of creating dhttrust of the
Governor and of reflecting upon his
honor."
Marshall contended that the ?Governor's
famous remark to Assemblytr-an Prime,
"You for me and I for you." was a
"casual remark, to which there could not
be any malign significance attached, and
which was merely harmless ?conversa?
tion."
In endino Marshall emphasised the
point that the Governors lawyers "were
not so much concerned In this case with
William fulzer the man or the Gov?
ernor rtl with the supremacy of the. Law."
"Let the law be the polar star which
now, im in 'he past, points out the path
.if safety," he said. ' T'pun your decision
rests, not the future of William 8ulz??r.
but the happiness of future generation?
lhall OUTS be ? government of law?, or
one of passion and ?aprlce^'
"Mr Marshall's refer??nceg to me are
sbeotutely unjust and Inexcusable." said
Puncan W. Peck to-night. "Any man
who says my testimony before the court
was bleed on anv such motive as he
givi-s is guilty of falsehood, and knows It
is false when he ?ays It. If Marshall is
correctly quoted. I denounce his state?
ment II I lie, and as a Me told for pay

ADAM SO NTS PLEA TO VOTER8
Robert Adamson, chairman of the
fusion campaign, has issued the fol?
lowing appeal to voters to register
to-day:
"Let me urge upon ovary qualified
voter the importance of registering
to-day. The fight for honest and
efficient government depends upon
whether good citizens take enough
interest to register and vote. Tam?
many Hall can be depended upon to
see thst its vote is registered. Vot?
ers opposed to Tammany govern
merrt ought not to postpone regis?
tering. They ought to register to
dsy. If the voters register, the fu?
sion ticket will awamp Tammany by
the biggest vote in many years."
In view of the many complaints re?
ceived by Mayor Kline that an attempt
would be made to register thousands ot
illegal voters during the four days of
registration beginning to-day^ the Mayor
sent a letter to Polios ?'ommissioner
Wald?-, feetenttj requesting him to give
the matter his personal attention" and
not put It In the hands of a subordinate,
?'?intrary to the policy of Mayor Gay?
nor In keeping the police away from the
Immediate vicinity of the polls. Mayor
Kline Intimates In his letter that the
police should "be on the Job" and do all
in their power to prevent any illegal reg?
istration The Ma vor's letter follows:
"' 'omplalnts have come to me that an
miga] attempt is to b?? made t? rugletor
thousand? of fraudulent voters during the
four ?lays of registration beginning to?
morrow These complaints are so circum?
stantial In character as to demand Imme?
diate and drastic action by the police.
The duty of Insuring an honest election I"
paramount ami I direct that you use all
of the legal power in your command to
prevent these repeaters and floaters from
rerifitering.
"Do .''.ot put It in the hand.? of a sub?
ordinate, but take personal charge of it
y.i'irs.lf Select the most capable and
trustworthy Inspector on your staff to
wurk under you. give him a special force
of goc?i men and make them responsible
for seeing that an honest ballot Is not
made ,i Jest and a byword through the
brazen colonizing and registering of an
army of professional thug? and repeaters
brought here from neighboring cities. ?
place this entire matter in your hands
and wish you to give It your immediate
and full attention.
"I'nder the law lodging houses and
certain hotels are re?iulred to flle wtth
the Klection Board thirty days before
?lectif n statements showing the names St
th? bona fide guests residing at such lodg?
ing house? and hotels. In many cases
those lista are stuffed with the names of
mythli al person.-. No persons with the,
names given reside at these lodging
houses or hotels
"The p irpose of such fraud'dent reports
Is to bring In On or.?* of the days ot
reparation an army of paid repeaters
from neighboring eltl.-s to register under
th'se fictitious r.ames. That must be pre?
vented. Take these suspicious lists and
ascertain In ??very .ase whether the per?
sons reported on them are In fact actual
residents of the places reporting them as
such or not Any lodging house keeper
or hotel proprietor making a false report
must be proceeded against instantly.
"In addition to this I direct that you.
through the special staff create?! for the
purpose, take all other necessary stepg to
prevent fraudulent registration. Let any
officer who neglects his duty oe makes a
false report In this matter be placed on
Oberffoo Immediately, and If found guilty
dismissed."

Several thousand young college men.
who have enlisted In the cause of the
Honest Ballot Association, w'.il watch the

t.. provent Illegal registration. The or
ganizatio has alrea?iy investigated the
registered voters of last year and know

Or Talcott Williams, president of the
.?s-... latlon, found In his mail yesterday
.1 letter written in pencil and postfarked
from a sub-siaticn on the lower LaM
Side, it read:
"Present Talcot Williams
Columbia Dear ?Ser. I enclose ten sencts
In stamps. I whlcn l could eend more.
two man voted from my house last elec?
tion how did not have a write too. I am
going to talk your work up.
MRS DA?EY."
Arthur H. Woods, of the fusion secret
service bureau, said last night the ar?
rangements for detecting fraudulent vot?
ers had practically been completed.
"We are going to settle one point be?
tween now and Election Day," said Mr.
Woods, "and that M whether we can hold
Judge? of election on a criminal charge
in cases where our handwriting experts
find the man voting ?loe? not write like
the man who reglster??d. It is the inten?
tion of several members of the committee
to prove that the Judges of election who
permit fraudulent votes are equally
guilty.
"It Is not important today whether
this point is legal or not. We know that
there la plenty ot law to send fraudulent
voters to Sing Sing. As we have stated
before, we Intend to do this no matter If
Mr. Mltchel and the entire fusion ticket
is elected by an overwhelming majority.
The time has come when the people of
New York must mike a stand against
falae voting. The moat effective way of
doing this. In our opinion, is to prosecute
fraudulent voters.
"Personally, I am in favor of prosecut?
ing Just as vigorously the men who pay
the fraudulent voters, and we will bend
every effort to Include the men higher up
In the Journey to Sing Sing."

MITCHEL STILL IN OFFICE
President Takes No Action on
Collector's Letter.
[From The Tribun? Bureau.j
Washington, Oct. 9?No 'action was
taken by the President to-day regarding
the resignation of John Purroy Mtt'hel as
Collector of the Port of New York, and
there is a suggestion that the Mayoralty
candidate may be adven a temporary leave
of absence to pursue his political actlv-1
ties, although President Wilson told call?
ers to-day that he had not yet considered
the matter.
President Wilson does not understand
that Mr Mitchel will use his Judgment as
to whether he should retire, despite that
such is the impression cleaned from the
letter by many of the latter? frier.?.? Mr.
Mit-hel's letter was received by the Presi?
dent to-day.
Ther?* was a suggestion in admlnist**?
tlon circles to-day that President Wllaon
would accept the resignation but that he
would not attempt to fill the vacancy until
after the New York election. Such a piar,
is possible. It was ura-ed, because of the
excellent organization in Mr. Mitch*! s of
flee. The President is anxious to aid the
candidacy of Mr Mitchel in ?aver*,' way
possible, but at the same time he wishes
to avoid the appearance of the adminis?
tration's dabhllng in New York poll'le?,.
Pome of the friends of th?? alm'nlstra
tlon currency bill will urge the President
tovicrept Mr. Mitchel'? resignation and
use the place to procure Senator O ?air?
man's support of that bllt, permitting the
New York Senator to name the new Col?
lector on condition he will abandon hi?
Insurgency.
