Thereafter, under the head of I'M
finished business, the Assembly took
up consideration of several bills
passed at the present session and
vetoed by the Governor, With a roll
call that moved swiftly and with
out hitch. the first of the bills was
repassed over the governors veto.
Many members had been slumber
ing in their seats during the earlier
hours of the prolonged debate.
Others, buoyed no longer by the ex
element of the impeachment pro-
ceedings, leaned back in their chairs
and closed their eyes. BY the time
the first bill had been passed there
were audible sounds of deep and
labored breathing in some of the
members chairs. Speaker Smith

rows of men with their heads on
their bosoms and their eyes closed.

"A number of the members, | take
it, are asleep in their chairs" he
Numbered, bringing his gavel down
desk. Members will please answer
when their names are called"
More whacls of the gavel on the
Speakers desk aroused the sleepers
momentarily and the Assembly took
up another bill which Governor Sui

Two hundred spectators, remnant
of a throng that surged in over
whelming numbers through the CAPT
toll last night. walked out of the AS

They had sat or stood up all night
to see the Governor impeached. The
heaviest guard of uniformed police
ever sent into the capitol each
armed with night stick and revolver,
walked out too, leaving the Assembly
chamber to solitude.

her friends call her confession" to
save her husband, Governor Sulzer
sat till almost dawn waiting the YER
dict. Worn by weary waiting the
Governor was sleeping. He went to

awakened to be told the news.
'"The governor knew pretty well
what would be the result" was the
only word from the executive man.

Governor Sulzer consented to per-
NIT Mrs. Suffers declaration to be-
come public late last night only
when he found that he could not

rumor on the lips of every member
of the Assembly in the city. A close

During the debates preceding the
roll-call. Assemblyman Human said:
"If we are to consider ourselves as
as in any sense grand jury to bring
the articles of impeachment" contin-
