tribution and on receiving $4,000
asked for more, which Mr.. Schir re-
fused. The witness said he, Sulzer,

ously damaging the contention that

transaction which THE defense a.
leges was made by Mrs SplEer, Tie
refusal is important for The defense.
Goodwin made II, he said, because
he had been told by Attorney horan
for the bank TO identity no signatures
not on the paper OF the bank. Al
though ordered by the presiding
regular and improper. the teller still!
declined to make Identification Of the
signatures as having been written
by Sulzer.
The examination OF these three most
important witnesses was participated
in by Presiding Judge Cullen and
many members OF the court, as well
as by the attorneys on either side.
Judge Cullen, after delivering his de
clslon, asked for vote on II and was
sustained by 40 to 7. Every member
of the court OF appeals voted with him.
Immediately after Austen G. Fox for
the defense had concluded his argu-
important articles Of Impeachment
Justice Cullen announced his decision
and the vote was taken.
As n as the court, by an over
wheln vote. sustained him, !. j.
Kresel, for the prosecution, called the
secretary OF state. Mitchell May,
George Van Nance, the clerk OF the
assembly, and p. e. McCabe. clerk
OF theCsepate. to prove that Sulzer
had been duly nominated and elected.
Harvey d. Human. for Sulzer. began
TO attack the impeachment violently,
intimating that II had been ordered
by Murphy. He was cut short by
Judge Cullen, who said
Our vote has established the regu.
lnrity OF the impeachment"
Alfred j. Wolfe. the commissioner
OF deeds. who took the affidavit Of the
governor as to the correctness OF the
campaign list, was the first witness OF
Importance, as the defense admitted
what Kresel expected to prove by the
first three man called.
