cause his admirers, seeking to help
him in his career, may have placed
in his possession funds intended for
that purpose and which he scattered
with spendthrift lavishness That
Governor Sulzer had such admirers,
men like Mr.. Schiff, Mr. Morgenthau,
Mr.. Lehman, DR.. Cox, Judge Conlan
and others who have here testified,
is established beyond peradventure
and to intimate that the respondent
in the use of money which he re-
ceived from many or all of these rlen
for his personal uses, did SO with a
criminal intent is as cruel as ii is
ungenerous.
The criticism of the Board of Man
ayers was in relation to their in
situations in court, that the books of
Harris & Fuller were "doctored" and
that Frederick L. Colwell and Louis
A. Sarecky were induced to go into
hiding by the Governor.
Mr. Marshall pleaded with the court
to be guided in it's course only by
the law.
"Do Not Follow Wisps!,
do not follow the -wisps
which lure into the noisome boys of
anarchy" he said Let the law be
the polar star which now, as in the
past, points out the path of safety.
On your decision rests not only the
future of William Sulzer but also the
happiness of future generations.
Shall ours be a government of laws
or one of passions and caprice? 1t
is my fervid hope that the decision
which is to be rendered here will not
leave the outcome in doubt Though
life Is sweet may I not live to see
the day when the law shall cease to
be paramount in our daily lives and
in our system of government"
The attorney made but a passing
reference to the testimony of Allan
A. Ryan that the Governor sought
through him to obtain the influence
of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, and the Republican State
chairman, William Barnes, to stop
the trial Mr.. Marshall said that
Ryan's testimony was introduced
for the purpose of creating distrust
slightest probative effect" in estab-
fishing the charges.
Mr. Marshalls address took all of
the morning session and part of the
afternoon. Judge Alton B. Parker
was to follow him for the impeach-
ment managers.
Attorneys for each side were allotted
five hours-virtually a full days ses-
sion-for making their summing up
addresses
It was believed today that at the
end of the arguments tomorrow

! The voting on the objections to the
articles of Impeachment and the

session. The final vote will be taken
on each of the eight articles sepa-

Governor Suffers counsel, (which will
the history of the State, which will
entail consequences far beyond our
ken, which will determine whether the
reign of law has ceased and that of

1T is for this court to decide, to ad-
judge, to create a precedent which will
inevitably and irrevocably declare the
policy of this State with regard to the
permanency of its institutions, and
the independence of those who make
up the sum total of it's official life.
THE picture which is now unfolded
before the civilized world is almost
unique in the experience of mankind
The governor of the greatest State in
the Union, with a population of ter
million freemen, who was elected less
than one year ago by an unprecedent-
ed majority, is on trial on an i'm
parchment which charges him with
the commission of various acts which
IT is asserted, entitle the complain
ants to a judgment of forfeiture OF
that office and which place an ever
lasting stigma upon his name an6
upon the honored office to which he
was thus triumphantly chosen by the
SURFACES of his fellow citizens"
