CLOSING ARGUMENTS
IN BROSNAHAN CASE
Local Damage Suit VIII Probably Go
to Jury Today-Rumors of
New Development.

Geuntv court resumed public business

recess from last Friday afternoon be
cause of the supreme court session and
the State Bar association meeting. One
OF the remaining arguments in the case
of Henry +. Jordan, administrator of
the estate of William Golfer, against
Daniel Brosnahan, a suit to recover
SJ090 damages for the death of Mr..
Collier after being struck by runa-
way team owned by the defendant WIS
made by Ii. &. Barber for the defend
ant. When court resumed this after
noon the last argument for the plain
tiff was made 10y c. :. Chase of Chase
q Chase and this was followed by the
Judge $ charge to the jury.
1t is rumored about the court house
that the fact that some of the mem
hers of the Brosuahan jury visited the
scene of the accident IN Brattlchoro
during the long recess OF the court had
complicated matters iuasmuch as the
entire jury and court had not aushor-
itatively made the trip. 1t is said to
be possible that because OF this the
verdict of the jury viii be questioned
by the side against which the decision
goes.
The next ease to be called this af-
ternoon will be that Of the Kinnear X

! Charles Miner of Brattleboro.

Brattleboro' Plan.
(St. Albans Messenger.)

St. Adams MesStHScI.J
Brattleboro has found way to deal
with strangers who are soliciting
funds which are represented to be
worthy. Merchants and professional
men in every town and city are ap-
preached many times year by these
solicitors and have no way Of knowing
whether they are being imposed upon
or not. The Brattleboro Board OF
Trade will investigate the causes and
credentials of all such visitors IN the
future and there will be no reason
why the people in that place should
be misled or defrauded. If solicitor
does not have the endorsement of the
board of trade then he who gives VIII
be assuming the risk. OF course the
plan will work a hardship on the
fakir but the worthy cause Will not
suffer, and on the other hand il may
gain, for undoubtedly there are many
men who might want to give con
tribution but now refuse for fear that
they are being imposed upon. The
plan certainly commends itself for eff
fectiveness and simplicity.

Claim is Made That Governor
Refused to Shield Himself
Behind His Wife
FRIENDS PICTURE
HIM AS A MARTYR
Sarecky, Governor S Campaign Secre-
tary, Says He Destroyed Check
Books, Check Stubs and Other Evi-
dence of Campaign Contributions.

ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 9.-Without
calling either Governor Sulzer or his
wife to the witness stand, his counsel
rested their defense in the trial of his
Impeachment yesterday. According to
ID. Cady Herriek, chief of his attor
news, Governor SulZer decided not to
defend himself III person because he did
not want to be placed in the position
of shielding himself behind his wife
for it was for Mrs. Sulzer, according to
the testimony, that the governor had his
Wall street dealings.
Today and Friday viii hc devoted to
summing up the case by the opposing
counsel. Monday next being a holiday
the court will probably adjourn from
Friday until Tuesday, when, it is eX-
pected, the verdict on the governor :
guilt or innocence will be reached.
Friends OF the governor pictured him
rs man who had martyred himself for
the sake Of his wife. Judge Hcrrich
pointed out that the testimony yester-
day Of Allan \. Ryan best disclosed the
treason why the governor had not taken
the stand. This was the conversation
/ which Ryan said he had with the i'm
