Albany, N y, Oct. 1.-Counsel for
the board of managers rested theil
case of Sulzer impeachment case this
afternoon.
In asking for the recess, Judge Her
rick said that the announcement that
the managers rested their case today
came as surprise to the counsel fol
the respondent
"There are number of motions tC
be made" he said. "The opening
statement is to be prepared and there
are numerous consultations which we
must have with the respondent who,
in our opinion, should be entitled to
the benefit of all his counsel.
"My colleague, Mr.. Marshal, left to-
day to observe religious holiday to-
morrow, which is very sacred to him,
A material witness whom we expect
to call early is also of the same faith
and will be absent for two days,
"My associate who is to open the
case. (Mr. Hinman), is nearly eX-
hausted We don't wish to delay these
proceedings, but we think that in JUS
tice to the respondent and his counsel
we should be granted a liberal ad-
journment If we do not adjourn, we
can have but short session on Fri
day under the rules and ! believe that
we should take a recess until Mon
day. We cannot go on with but part
of our counsel present. If we at.
tempted to do so | am afraid one of
my associates will break down. Those
of the court who are attorneys can
well appreciate that this case has
been very laborious and exhausting to
counsel"

morrow afternoon at O'Clock.
