SULzER LOSES FIRST POINT
BUT HIS ATTORNEYS INDICATE
THAT THEY ARE NOT DIS
coURAGED BY RULING
is The ACTION VALID One ?
COUNSEL FOR EXECUTIVE SUB
NIT REASONS WHY CASE
SHOULD BE oUAsHED


Albany. N. Y, sept. 19.-Goyernor
Suffers lawyers lost their first fight
in the high court Of impeachment to-
day when the four senators challenged
by the defense were permitted to re-
tain their seats.
The vote on the question Of whe-
ther the court should entertain the
challenge was unanimous against such
proceedings. The four senators di-
rectly concerned, Frawley, Wagner,
Ramsberger and sanner did not vote.
Immediately following the vote of
the court, the reading of the long ar
ticles Of impeachment was begun.
Although Presiding Judge Cullen
had the right to decide the question
of the qualifications Of the senators
for holding their seats, he did not
take advantage Of this prerogative.
He first expressed his opinion that
the objections were not well ground
ed and then permitted the entire
court to vote on the issue.
In addressing the court, Judge Cul-
len said that no court had the right
to sit in Judgment on any one of its
members. In this, he said, a court
differed greatly from jury, the quail
ficahons of members of which might
be decided by the courts.
The vote came after a morning Of
legal argument between Judges Her
recik and Parker, Of defense and
prosecution, respectively. Judge Her
ricks' chief argument was that no
man might sit both as prosecutor and
Judge. In reply, Judge Parker said the
members Of the court were here as
representatives Of the whole people.
that the people had establish the
court of impeachment in the beginning
and that none other than the people
had a right to remove their represen-
tatives.
After the vote Judge Cullen direct
ed Clerk McCabe to read the articles
of impeachment. The motion by Sen
ator Pollock Of New York that the
reading be dispensed with was lost
and the clerk began slowly to read
the lengthy articles.
"What answer does the respondent
interpose to the articles Of impeach-
ment filed by the assembly," queried
Judge Cullen when Clerk McCabe had
finished his reading.
Judge Herrick stated, that pursuant
to the notice of yesterday that OBJ
lection would be made to the validity
Of the impeachment, Louis Marshall
Of the governors counsel, would ar
que that point.
Attorney Marshall, reading from :
prepared brief, first asked that the en-
tire proceedings be dismissed on tht
ground that s'the court is without
jurisdiction and the proceedings ar,
null, void and Of no effect"
The principal attack was directed
against the constitutionality Of th,
action Of the assembly in adopting tn,
impeachment articles during an extra
ordinary session when the subiec
matter had not been recommended b
the governor.

ACTION ATTACKED BY Counsel
FOR governor Of new YORK.

Governor Sulzer did not recon-
mend the subject of his impeach-
ment," said Mr.. Marshall, neither did
he in any way suggest the considera-
ton of any charges against himself" !"
When Attorney Marshall concluded,
Judge Cullen asked if counsel for the
managers contemplated taking issue
with any Of the facts, as distinguish
ed from the points of law, raised by
the governors counsel. Judge Par
ker asked for a five-minute recess
while he and his colleagues consider
ed the matter However, Judge Cul
len ordered the usual noon recess,
and adjournment was taken until 9
p. m.
