Judge A. B. Parker Flayed
Sulzer Numerically
To-day
NOT EQUALLED SINCE
THE TRIAL BEGAN
Terrible Tongue-Lashing in
Behalf Of Impeach-
ment Managers

Albany, n. Y, Oct. l0.-Never since
the impeachment trial of Governor Sui
ger opened has he been subjected to such
verbal staying as Judge Alton B. Parker
administered in his argument for the
board of managers to-day.
'Before this bar the defendant stands
guilty of the offenses charged by the i'm
parchment and proven by uncontrovert-
ed evidence" he said. even justice
must see through its severe eyes some
thing of the pathetic in the defendants
frantic efforts to cover the nakedness
of his wrong doing. The defiance OF
the defense, his justification, prevarica
tion, denunciation OF his accusers, his
attempts to suppress and falsify testi-
mony and his efforts TO cast the blame
elsewhere, each in turn, have been
stripped from his quakiDg flesh until he
stands before the court without rag
OF his attempted vindication clinging TO
his deformed and mutilated manhood"
Judge DC. Herrick for the defense
followed Judge Parker, and Edgar I.
Bracket is expected to make the clos
ing plea for the managers.
That the governor swore falsely to
statement there was no doubt,
the attorney said, in speaking OF article
one. He also flayed the defense for
their alleged attempt to shift the blame
to the shoulders of Louis A. Sarecky,
and termed him worthless character"
He read into the record the first com
pIete statement OF Suffers financial
during the campaign. 1t
follows:
Contributions not reported, $4,000.
Cash paid to brokers, $40, ,462.50.

ford of Bethel Broke One Leg.

GOV. FELKER READY
TO GIVE DECISION
Soon After Jerome Files Additional Eyi-
dence and Thaw Has Had Chance
at Defense.

Concord, n. H., Oct. l0.-Gov. Samuel
d. Felker stated last evening that he
was ready to make his decision in re-
gard to the extradition of Harry X.
Thaw soon after District Attorney
Jerome files his additional evidence. lie
said that he would allow Thaw reas-
enable length of time, however, to pre-
pare his defense.
Governor Felker denied that he had
received any papers under cover from
Jerome in connection with the district
attorneys request for additional time
to prepare his case. He stated that tine
only documents restated by him were a
certified copy of the Duchess county
grand jury indictment, letter accom-
panying it from District Attorney Con-
ger, and the request for more time from
Jerome.
Mr.. Thaw said last night that William
Ryan, who was arrested in this city yes
terday by Sheriff c. P. Smith in an
action brought by Healy Brothers of
Manchester, is the person referred to i'll
the story in this mornings Union. This
man had been very intimate with the
Thaw forces and had been putting him
self forward as a sympathizer; however,
it was suspected that he was tipping
off Jerome. Thaw at once, when a sus.
picion came to him to that effect, told
his counsel the circumstances, and ad-
vised them to have nothing more to do
with him. Thaw said last night: Il do
not want to say anything to harm the
poor fellow. He is the only one of
whom have the least suspicion of being
involved in any such thing, and in all
that are connected with me / have the
greatest confidence. This man who tried
to get information in such an under
handed manner was not in my employ
but preferred to be friend"
