losing account with Harris ft Fuller was
carried by Mrs. Suiter, not himself.
Early In July tho Frawley committee
decided to call Melville B. Fuller aa a
witness, although he was not actually
questioned until August (. Meanwhile the
Governor's naval aid assumed hi ac
count with Harris A Fuller and the Gov
ernor wrote on the order, "For Mrs,
Sulxer."
It waa early on the morning of August
IX, while the Impeachment debate waa
going on, that the sleepy Assemblymen
were stirred by a rumor of Mrs. Sulxer's
"confession" that she had signed the Gov
ernor's name to campaign checks and
bought securities with them without hi
knowledge.
The man she told this to was Senator
Abraham J. Palmer. Senator Hinman
tried to use the story on the floor of the
Assembly, but was choked off by an ob
jection from Assemblyman Levy.
Two days later Gov. Sulser waa say
ing: "I'd like to punch the lata of the
damned scalawags that brought Mrs. Sui
ter's name into It. The thing that hurts
me most Is that my wife's name has been
dragged into this affair. I can fight my'

to how the Governor got this money.
The managers also fished for a $5,000
check, which Robert L. Gerry, or his
father, Commodore Elbrldge T. Gerry, la

that about twenty members of the Man

that some of the gifts were made through
