Later-No morning session of the
Sulzer impeachment trial was held to-
day. The rumor is current that the
governor : counsel has decided to pre-
sent no evidence hut this is generally
discredited. 1t is believed that when
the court convcnes this afternoon the
first step will be for Judge HeTrick,
on behalf OF SuIzer, TO ask the ruling
of the court on two points-hrst, the
constitutionalitv of articles one, two
and six Of the impeachmeut; and, sec
ond, whether the application to private
uses of funds given without restriction
constituted larceny. If the court ruled
favorabiy in the first question the case
would practically be at an end. The
question OF larceny is also big one,
for with a few exceptions the con
tributors whose gifts are not account
ed for in the governor 5 campaign
statement have testified that they did
not specify what use the governor
should make of the money they gave
him.
