The vote was 43 TO u.
Chief Justice Cullen and Senator

There was bitter denunciation :
the Governor in the closing hours,
articles s. and 8. Dishonor was
heaped upon the head OF the coHvicr-
ed official, and in the disEracing uf
sulzer even chief Judge Cullen, who
had steadily voted 10 acquit him
ioined with a scathinR comment upon
the dishonorable practice Of the Gov

Al the time Of the actual judgment
Martin II Glynn became Governor
by virtue OF succession from the Of
fce Of Lieutenant Governor. and
Robert G. Wagner. President OF the
Senate. became Lieutenant Governor.

This is not an occasion for exul-
tation l have no such feeliQg." said
Governor Glynn. ITO ne 1t is an oc-
cason OF solemnity mixed with sad
ness. ! am charged with the duties
OF Governor, not through any act nor
desire OF mine, but because the law
which am sworn to uphold imposes
the obligation upon me under the
distressing circumstances Of the sit
uation that has arisen"

n any, Sulzer will make when out "
ofnce took the place OF the impeach-
ment in the minds of the political
workers
Further Action Talked.
Purely collateral was other specu-
lation as to whether or not an at
tempt would be made to bring crim!-
nal prosecution against SulZer.
The conviction on the charge Of
perjury left an indictable offense fully
sustained by the court of last resort
and made the way easy for indie
ment IL one were to be pressed.
The court voted unanimously not
10 dlsqualify the Governor from fu-
lure offices OF trust.
The indication was that no further
action would be taken against The
former Governor unless he made such
charges against Tammany workers
as demanded war OF exterminat
The court voted first day on arti-
Gle 8, which charged him with having
prevented Frederick l.. Colwen from
testifying. The unanimous vote was
not guilty.
Then article 6 was read ard mot

larceny charge had received it's first
blow at the beginning OF the courts
work when Chief Judge Cullen stop
ped evidence bearing upon the ques-
tlon Of larceny long enough to point

The Senators voted mot guilty" just
as fast as they could be called.
Still in seclusion Sulzer nursed
