Albany. y. y. October l0.-The trial
OF the Impeachment Of Governor Sulzor
ended to-day. With the final admo
milton of Presiding Judge Cullen not
to permit any one to approach them or
discuss the merits OF the case the fftv
seven members have gone to their
homes TO return Monday afternoon NJ
2:3o o'clock. st that hour the doors OF
tho courtroom will be locked and the
private consultation" AT which the fate
of Suizer is 10 be decided will be:in
The verdict is expected late Monday
night.
To those who have followed the trial
there Is but one view OF the final re-
sults-verdict OF guilty to be followed
oy expulsion from Office. The firm be-
lief OF the impeachment managers is
that Sulzcr viii get no more than eight
OF the twenty votes necessary to save
him from conviction.
Flight for Stntc. Not for SuIzcr.
Sulzcr himself realizes tonight; for
the first time the desperate straits he
is in. His supreme egotism was shock
ed by the declaration Of his counsel
-. Cady lierrlck, that he was defending
the honor OF. the state, not Sulzer
whom he characterized as one unfit, OF
low ethical standards, prone To ego
tism and to consider creatures of his
own imagination as facts"
Throughout Hcrrick's three-hour ar
Sument We're oft-rcpeated expressions
of contempt for Sulzcr. He declared
that Suizer was merely an incident. and
that the fight was for the honor OF the
state. He concluded with personal
appeal to Chief Judge Cullen not to
1 put an indciible stain on the history
/ OF the State by voting TO sustain the
/ Impeachment. lie added that he did
not defend the morals or private life
or Sulzer
Sulzer is tonight smarting under this
. attack by his own counsel. He wants
to give out now the statement which
has been prepared TO be given out after
the verdict-the statement he was de-
TERED from making under oath in
court through the fear OF cross exami-
nation. Suffers counsel feel that such
action would be worse than fatal. and
they are keeping close watch over him
to prevent it.
Brnckctt Makes Final Argument.
Former Senator Edgar I. Brackett
made the final argument. He held the
court and galleries In spell as he
pictured SulZer as "A self-confessed
thief made rich by campaign contri-
buttons. except as he made himself poor
by his antics in Wall Street"
Bracket provoked the laughter OF
even the most severe Judge of the Court
OF Appeals when he took advantage Of
Louis Marshalrs comparison of Sulzer
