lothian P. Aids Resigns
From New York Senate.
Banded as Bride Taker by His
Former Colleagues.
conger Does Not Resign and Is
Expected TO Fight Vigorously.

Albany, n. Y, March 29.-Jotham r
Aids went to his home in Norwich TO-
night private citizen, branded as a
bribetaker by his former colleagues in
the Senate, and by his own act no long
er a member of that body. Senator
Conger, who on Jan. %, filed the
charges against Aids which resulted IN
the investigation that ended today,
staid here to fight.
The Senate today upheld Conger's
charges. when 40 of its 40 members
voted that they had been sustained by
the evidence adduced. 1t is believed
that Conger came to the Senate today
prepared to resign as soon as he re-
ceived this vindication. He did not re-
sign, however, and developments make
it likely that he will not do so.
The cause of this is resolution in
troduced by Senator Cobb. the ma
jority leader, providing for the APP
pointment of a committee to present
the Senate charges against Conger.
Borrowing out Of his connection with
legislation and the use of funds to in
nuence the members Of the Legislature
or other persons with reference there

Even Conger's enemies admit he is
a fighter and the belief is that he will
oppose this attempt to deprive him of
Office as vigorously and with as free an
expenditure of money as he attacked
Aids.
The Cobb resolution was referred to
the judiciary committee.
Although 40 senators voted against
Aids today, by no means this number
can be counted on to stand by Conger
in ii personal conflict now that the
Aids charges are disposed of
There seems to be no longer doubt
that the present Legislature will con-
duct IL general graft" investigation
II is probable that the investigation

wherever they see fit and have full
power to make witnesses testify.
The resignation of Aids today was
unexpected and it upset the plans of
many senator's. His resignation abso-
lutely closes his case. All that the
Senate could have done after sustain
ing the charges against him. would
nave been to put him out. and such a
punishment his own act forestalled

"i whether ne took a bride Senator
lothian +. Aids today resigned from
ire Senate. In view of frequent dec
l2rations that he would not take this
course and would stand or fall bv the
decision of his colleagues. his action
came as thunder clap. It Is taken as
positive indication that Aids, after a
p"H OF the senators found that there
was big majority against him and
mat the vote of the committee of the
whole would be swiftly followed by
his formal expulsion by the Senate.
His resignation. filed with the secrc-
tary of state at 1871 A. M. today read
as follows:
Horace White. Lieut.. Governor of the
State of New York and President of
the Senate:
Dear Sir-I. lothian p Aids, do
hereby resign the Office of senator rep

Before Aids sent his resignation to

also signed for his money. 1t was un-
terStOOd that rs soon aS tbn Caba j.,
passed its verdict sustaining mis-
charges. Conger also would resign. His
attorney. Mr.. Van Hoesen, declared
positively that Senator Conger would
not resign before the vote was taken.
While Aids resignation did not re-
move the necessity of voting on the
question of sustaining the charges. it
it had the effect of stopping much of

attend the voting. Several senators
