In the executive mansion where
Mrs. sulzer late last night made what
her friends call her confession 20
save her husband, Governor Sulzer
sat TIL almost dawn waiting the YER
dicr from the brightly lighted chain-
her ave minutes walk away, but there
vas no sign of life when the legtsla-
ture adjourned.
suIzer Sleeps.
Worn by weary waiting the gov
ernor was sleeping. He went to bed
before the roll call and was not
awakened to be told the news
..The governor knew pretty Wei
what would be the result was the
onIy word from the executive man
zion. The governor had left or
ders that he was not to be disltrhed
under any circumstances.
Indications are that sulzer Will
contest bitterly tho theory of the OPP
position that he became automatically
barred from ex rcising the functions
az the office the moment the articles
ar Impeachment are formerly present
ed to the Senate and that he will be
disoualified from resuming the duties
of executive until court Impeachment
fails to sustain these charges.
This afternoon, eight hours after
the assembly adopted the articles o.
Impeachment the governor was IN con
sultation with legal advisors in th'
executive chamber and had not an
nounced his intentions.
