gave damaging testimony against
William Sulzer in the high court OF
impeachment to-day. It's most strik-
ing points were:
That Sulzer had asked and received
from Ryan $4,000 for expense of his
personal campaign.
That one week tefore the inpeach
ment trial BEGAN Sulzer asked RYAN
to go To Washington and see Senator
Root and lave him tel. William Barnes,
Jr, TO direct the Republican members
OF the court TO vote in favor OF Sulzer.
lhts statement was later stricken from
the record.
Vital links OF Allan Ryan's story
were supplied by Ignatius V. Mcilonc.
rrirate secretary to the elder Ryan.

country Meancy testified that early
In the campaign he loaned Sulzer SlO.-

Attorneys for Sulzer who had come

step

| Mcaney, Harvey D. Hinman declare,
that no evidence would be offered to
| controvert any of the charges except
those dealing with the collection and
use of campaign funds He declared
that Sulzer could not be convicted or

applied these funds. Hnman disposed
OF this charge with this figure of
speech:
suppose n human derelict should
approach any of us OH Broadway and
ask for quarter to buy food. Hav-
f&ng given it to him could he be con-
Victed of larceny il he snent 1t for
whisSey."
Hinman laid the foundation for sui

rhy and Tammany, and tell his story
OF the conspiracy he charges brought
about his impeachment.
Snmo Old BiH.
Sulzer had hard work getting in
touch with young Ryan. He called on

appointment he was referred back to

Allan Ryan gave his testimony re-
luctantly. His answers were carefully
considered and spoken deliberately.
