negative. -. ~ ..y
"'Well,' said the governor. these
securities belonged to Mrs. Sulzer
when I brought them to you, Fuller
testified. "'She had a loan with the
Carnegie Trust company. They re-
quired me to give note every three
months and it was very annoying, so
I took the securities down to you and
borrowed the money from you
Il said to Governor Sulzer, That

is true, you'll have no trouble In prov

managers charge was marginal OF

count, was opened in 1910, according
to the books of the firm which Fuller
presented. ~-... ~. g.. .s.,... f.. g,
The Carnegie Trust company, it was
recalled, was in financial difficulties
that year and subsequently it failed.
The account no. only showed a long
series of borrowing on securities
brought to the firm by Sulzer. but also
the purchase and sale of other secur-
tiles, calls for margin" and other de,
post by Sulzer of cash payments of
Stock in responce to these calls. g..
The account began in June, 1910,
when the governor deposited 100
shares of "Rig Four worth at the
then market price $4,000 and obtained
thereon loan Of $4,000. The next
day., however, he bought through the
firm lO0 shares of the same stock
against which he gave no security ex,
sept the equity in his first 100 shares.
!; Stock Took Tumble. ri
Then Big Four began to tumble in
the market and the rest of the, &C.
count was a record of efforts by Mr..
Sulzer to keep up the margin" as
dicnI0c 0H In 1nffnro "A -
wrote to him using that term in de.
manding that the deficit in the ac-
count be made good.
T Sixteen thousand dollars In cash,
which the Impeachment managers
claim formed part of the governors
campaign contributions were used in
meeting these calls for margin" &C.
cording to the books. Finally, in July,
1913, Lieut.. L. M. Josephthal, a New
York banker and a member of the gov.
ernOrs staff, came to the rescue by
paying of debit balance against the
account of $26,739 and taking up the
securities. / At this time the governor
had put into the account, according to
the books, $73,439 in stock or cash
and his net loss, excluding the amount
paid by Josephthal was $8,414.
The governor authorized Josephthal
