ALBANY, Oct. With officials and
,taches OF the state civil service bu-i
,eau in attendance, the prosecution
n the sulzer impeachment trial re-
,umed It's efforts today to prove the
charges that the governor used pat
ronase to seal the lips Of witnesses.
The biggest OF the cases in point was
that Of Louis A. Saresky. Through
letters sent the commissioner asking
preferment for Saresky and his ap-
|rcintment as deportation agent as
state commissioner the prosecution
hoped to substantiate two articles OF
impeachment. They claim Saresky
was promised this $4,000 Job in return
for refusal to testify before the Fraw.
/ ley Investigation committee. The
prosecution attorneys hoped they
would be able to get through SO that
former Senator Harvey ]. Hyman
could make the opening address for
the Eulzer forces today The defense
has been carefully guarded, and the
Sulzer lawyers insist that It will be
a complete surprise.
There was possibility that re-
cess would be taken in the Sulzer i'm
peachment trial until, either Saturday
or Monday II the prosecution complet-
ed Its case today. The public excuse
win be the feast of Ross Hassona or
Jewish new year which begins tomof-
row.
Before the court session today Mel
Vile B. Fuller, stock broker, secured
recognition Of request Of Suffers
attorneys who explained he had per
sonal statement to make. In lengthy
statement he denied In positive terms
that the books Of his firm were 1uggled
to hide Suffers stock deals. Judge
Cullen ruled the statement Nas i'm.
proper II false statements have
been published affecting you,' said
the court 1t is contempt of court as
well as answerable otherwise. And II
yonr lawyers will bring to this court
justified complaint it will act.''
With the Fuller matter out of tbs
way the state called Samuel M. Frank
'ne stenographer who took the testi
mony Of Louis A. saresky before tn,
committee. He was asked whethe,
ne had taken record Of the refusal 0,
saresky to answer questions put tt

insisted stanchfeld. The court rule,
mat the only thing the prosecution
couid De permitted to show was tina

uons put to him dealing with cam
palsh contributions. AT this point 1
