SsAILs SBLzER
SAYS GOVERNOR is GUILTY OF
WORST GRIMES.
Declares That stiIwell, imprisoned
Senator, Might Have Learned
Acts From Executive.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 1.-THE trial
Of William Sulzer. the impeached
governor of New York, was brought
up to the state of the balloting of the
judges by former State Senator Ed
gar 7. Bracket, who closed the case
for the board of impeachment a
ayers with a vitriolic speech. In the
course of it he asserted that former
State Senator Stephen |. Stillwell,
who is serving a term in Sing Sing
prison as a barterer of his legislative
vote and influence, Knight have sat
at the feet of Gov. Sulzer and learned
crime" =
'And this is the pharisee," he said,
"who, pointing to the width of his
phylactery, in proof of his own vir-
tue, demanded that Stilwell resign
Stilwell who, if all charges against
him were true, and more, could still
have sat at the feet of this man and
learned crime, even as Saul sat at
the feet of Camaliel and learned all
the wisdom of the ancient Jews.
Bracket launched into a discussion
of the evidence supporting the accusa-
lions in the fourth of the articles of
impeachment charging that Gov.
Sulzer sought to prevent testimony
before the Frawley committee.
The attorney held mat the article
was broad enough to include the
alleged attempt Of the Governor to
dissuade Henry Morgenthau from
testifying in regard to his $1,000 cam
paign contribution,

MURDERER is DISAPPOINTED
Negro Had Prepared for Execution,
Which Had Been Postponed
Without His knowledge.

Kansas City, Mono one took
the trouble to tell Wesley Rob-
inson, a negro, under sentence of
death for the murder of his wife and
stepdaughter, that he was not to be
hanged yesterday, the date originally
set for his execution, so he made all
preparations for the ordeal in the
morning.
The gaunt black, 6 feet 2 inches
tall, unnerved, but determined to be
brave, dressed himself carefully, and
sitting on the edge of his cot, waited
for the death summons.
The deputy marshal explained that
an appeal to the supreme court had
acted as a r%eprieve. Robinson seemed
a little disappointed.

FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
covernor Adlus,s casa.

Jefferson City.-Gov. Major has ad-
.justed q case of wife and child aban-
dSBEent In an unusual way.
A warrant was issued in Usage
county, Kansas, for the arrest and
return to that state Of ]. B. Stanley
of Sedalia, on the charge of having
abandoned bis wife Edna ard their
two young children about four years
ago. Requisition papers were OBJ
tanned for Stanley's return and he ap
peared here to resist being sent back
to Kansas.
According to the statements Stan
ley made to the governor, he and his
wife could not get along together and
they agreed to separate, she, with the
two children, going to the home of
her father, at Lyndon, Kan, where
she is at the present time, and he to-
Kansas City and later to Sedalia,
where he is employed a selling
agent for a Kansas City mercantile
house.
Stanley says that for two years he
sent his wife from $40 to SIS a month,
but that she never acknowledged re
ceipt of the money. For a time he
was sick with typhoid fever and had
no money to send. Later, when he
recovered and found employment, he
resumed the monthly remittances, he
declared.
The governor said that even if
Stanley were guilty no good could be
accomplished from putting him in
prison, in view of the fact that his
wife needs all the money he can send
her. The governor then said he would
withhold honoring the requisition if
Stanley would give bond to pay his,
wife not less than $40 a month until
their children are of age. (.
Stanley's father, John w. Stanley,
a furniture dealer and undertaken at
Blue Springs, Mo-, signed the bond.
