Suffers Personal Friend Goes
to the Penitentiary
On Charge of Contempt of the
General Assembly.
REFUSED TO ANSWER QUERIES
Seems to Be No Way for Him
to Get Out
Until Released by Vote of the
Lower House.

Albany, Sept 19.-Governor Sulzer's
personal friend and special graft in
vestigator, James c. Garrison, slept
last night in a cell of the Albany
county penitentiary. He was remand
ed to that institution by the sergeant
at arms of the state assembly for re-
fusing to answer questions put to him
by the speaker following arrest on a
charge of contempt. The charge grew
out of his alleged statement several
weeks ago that four legislators sold
their votes on the resolution impeach-
ing Governor Sulzer.
Plans by the Su1zer faction today
were to obtain a writ of habeaS corpus
from the supreme court for the re-
lease of Garrison. Majority Leader
Levy said this morning, however, that
such action would be i'm mpossible as the
assem- bly, had ''plenary power to pun
lSh for contempt
The appellate court so held in a
similar case several years ago. If the
court should hold this view, Garrison
might be kept in prison until next
July when a new legislature convenes.
The alleged offense is unbailable, 1t
is said.
The arrest of Garrison came as g
climax to a weary evening spent by
the aSSemb bly, in an attempt to round
up the seventysix votes necessary to
pass additional articles of impeach
ment against Governor Sulzer. The
body finally adjourned at 2:33 o'clock
this morning after an impassioned
plea from Majority Leader Levy for a
better attendance when the assembiy
convened at noon today. kilograms

continuously since the impeachment
