Will testify before impeachment
ALBANY. N. Y. September 27.-The
big unanswerable question in Albany to-
day was whether Frederick L. Colwell,
Gov. Suffers alleged dummy in his
Wall street deals. would testify in the

was no session of the court today.
Twice within the last week counsel for

that he thought he would be able to reach
Colwell by night But he did not. Again
yesterday he said he thought he could get
in communication with the much wanted
witness by nightfall. but again he failed.
This morning he said the whereabouts of
Colweu still was unknown to him. He
maintained, however. that the governor S
attorneys had not the slightest desire to
conceal Colwell, and that he would prob
ably testify next week.
Much Doubt Expressed.
Meantime much doubt was expressed
among the attorneys for the board of
managers as to whether Colwell ever
would testify. They say he will prove
the connecting link between Sulzer and
Wall street. and insist the governors at
torneys will not let Colwell take the
stand if there is any way for them to
prevent It,
