for William Sulzer lost the first skir-
mish in a legal battle they begun at
the second session Of the high court
OF impeachment to prevent the ac-
cused executive from coming to trial.
Their objections to permitting four
senators to sit as members of the
court were oyerruled.
They next attacked the validity OF
the impeachment with a motion to
dismiss the proceedings but failure to
complete their argument when ad-
journment was taken until Monday
precluded decision in the matter.
Meanwhile Governor Sulzer formal
ly conceded that he had no right to
exercise the functions of chief execu-
tive pending tho determination of the
impeachment. This he did in a letter
to Lieutenant Governor Glynn, turn
ing over to the latter a request for the
extradition of prisoner, and explain
ing that he had taken such action be-
cause of recent decisions of the Su-
preme Court that the executive func-
tions should be performed by yourself
as acting governor"

til 1920 O'Clock to obtain enough anti
Sulzer votes to insure the passage of
additional Impeachment charges. Ma

The motion was adopted amid shouts
of joy. and members dashed for trains
and their homes.
The fight for additional charges will
be resumed Immediately on the con-
vening of the Assembly, and, mean
while. the Democratic leaders will use
every means to obtain full attend
ance Thursday
1t is understood generally that the
charges were completed Friday. The
three chief allegations. it is said. are
that the governor usurped the powers
of his office following his impeach-
ment: made a prediction promise to
make DR.. julius Broder state commits
sioner OF health. and failed to account
for the fund which he obtained to
wage his direct primary campaign.

counterfeiting plant, was examined by
an alienist, DIR. Gustave Scholer, neu-
rologist at the Washington Heights
hospital At the end of an hours in

said he was not prepared to call
Schmidt an insane man.
DIR. Scholer announced he would
spend more time with the priest be-
fore announcing conclusions on his
mental state.
Schmidt. according to DIR. Scholer
eagerly explained how he had been led
to believe that he was doing human
ity service in committing one muir
der and planning many others. in
selling medicines intended for unlaw
full uses and in attempting to make
counterfeit money The alienists told
him that, il he believed his conduct
was right, he was probably the only
man living that thought so.
What does that matter?" demanded
the priest Socrates was executed
because the government and the ma
jority of the people thought his ideas
were wrong, but after several thou
sand years the world comes around to
his way of thinking. The fact that
every one is against me does not
prove that am wrong. may be right
