ALBANY. n 7. Sept. 2s.-ASing
Sings ghastly death house today con-
tributed an amazing chapter TO the
story of the impeachment of Cover
nor William Sulzer. in which 1t ap-
pears that Lieutenant Charles Becker
has prepared evidence striking at the
political life. II not at the personal
freedom Of dozen men high in the
official life of the state This story.
alleged to be backed by such proof
as a shrewd and resourceful detective
might produce has been offered by
Becker in return for his life.
This is the story:
At the beginning of the fight upon
the governor emissaries were sent to
Becker at Sing Sing for the purpose
Of getting from him any facts he
might have concerning the connection
between politics and crime in the city
of New York. But Becker demanded
that before one line of his evidence
went to expectant channels par
don should be signed which would
leave him absolutely free from any
chance OF punishment growing out
of the murder of Herman Rosenthal
in front of the Hotel Metropole on
July is. 1919
IMPEACHMENT MEANS PARDON
In the meantime the power of Gov
ernor Sulzer to pardon anybody had
vanished. Those men who were
named in the Becker confession
were apprised of that fact They set
10 work all Of the wheels under their
command to prevent the production
of the statement.
But it's general character is known
TO too many men to permit the fact
OF its existence to escape the public.
Becker had been assured, so far as
any one knows, without any author
ity from any person in Albany who
is or may be in a position to make
good the assurance that he will be
kindly treated in the event that Gov
ernor Sulzer is impeached, and his
story remains among the things un-
told.
WEEK FOR PROSECUTION
The high court of impeachment to-
day swung into week that promises
to see the close of the testimony
for the prosecution. Attorneys for
the board of managers said at the be-
ginning of the day that they did not
think IL possible that their case
At the outset of the day they were
in doubt as TO what witnesses they
would call when the court resumed
lis session at o'clock.

MAY REGAIN HIS THRONE
LONDON. Sept 29.-Former King
Manuel of Portugal may very shortly
return to his country and throne. for
there is not the slightest doubt that
the majority of his old subjects are
thoroughly disgusted with the repub-
lie which has been an absolute failure
understanding of the needs of the
people and the unbearable intoler-
ance of the leaders
The republican party is split up
into factions. which fight each other
with deadly hatred; the church, which
has retained its enormous influence
over the people, is strongly in favor
of restitution of the monarchy, and
all over the country the people are
clamoring for the removal of the
present leaders.
WEDDING JOINED ROYALTY
The wedding of King Manuel. who
succeeded his father after the assas-
sination of that monarch and the
crown prince, and ruled in Portugal
until the revolution, and Princess Au-
gustine Victoria, only daughter Of
Prince William, head of the nonreg-
nant house of Hohenzollern. took
place at Sigmaringen on September 4.

was heralded as the most important
of any wedding that history records
in which the heads of two nonregnant
families Joined.
The marriage marked the union OF
the ancient houses of Portugal and
Hohenzo1lern for the third time in 30
years All of the reigning monarchs

lys. the dancer, featured the early
months of his reign.
KAISER APPROVED
Before 1t was finally settled that
Manuel would wed the beautiful
daughter of the Hohenzollerns he
had been rumored betrothed to prin~
cesses of England and Russia.
The approval of the kaiser of Man
uels match and his refusal to think
OF Manuel as deposed monarch were
considered auspicious facts at the
time of the betrotha1.
While the marriage was a royal
marriage in every sense of the word.
Manuel and his bride were admittedly
not in love with each other.
