The indictment Of the three leaders
IL asked on statements of many per-
sons, presented by Judge Arnold to the
district attorneys, regarding an alleged
conspiracy to put SulZer out of the gov
errors chair. In so announcing, Judge
Arnold repeated his declaration that
money had been freely used to accom-
plish this result.
Judge Arnold, who is publisher OF
the Knickerbocker Press, of Albany,
said:
my newspaper has been friendly to
Sulzer in this fight because We thought
he was not getting a square deal. Be-
sons have written us and called at our
Office to tell us what they knew of
plot on the part of certain men whom
II cannot name now, to disgrace Sulzer
and put him out Of the governors

with the impeachment proceedings. AS
an instance of the number of men who
are ready to testify, will say that
ten men came into our office Saturday

this plot We believe that it is amply

"They go to show, however, that
there was a conspiracy and plot
against Sulzer. More than that, they
tend to prove a fiendish crime far
greater than that. l cannot say now in
the present unsettled state of affairs
what this crime is. Sufficient to say
that it was fiendish-nothing short

During the last ten days group of
lawyers who volunteered to assist
Governor Sulzer in his trouble have
been busily engaged getting evidence
touching this alleged conspiracy.
Lawyers and laymen in New York
who had a hand in the Sulzer pro-

the evidence they had collated was
made public it would cause the court
Of appeals judges to decline to join
the senate in a trial, and that this
would cause the whole matter to fall
to the ground, as the senate would
have no power, under the constitution,
to proceed alone with the trial

Acting Governor Glynn was at his
summer home on the Hudson through
out the day. He said he was not dis.

called upon to perform any official act.
Mr. Glynn's adherents derided the lat

clared that it would prove absolutely
ineffective.
