ALBANY, y. Y, Sept. 19.--The real
right to prevent the eypalsion from
the Governorship of William sulzer
began today. The battery of high
priced attorneys who are in charge
of his fight concentrated their attack
on the organization Of the high court
OF impeachment
Under the leadership OF former
Judge D. Cady Herrick, they assaiied
the legality Of the articles of inn
peachment passed by the Assembly.
1t was a lengthy legal wrangle in
which the question OF whether an Of
fee holder can be removed for acts
committed prior TO his taking the
oath OF Office was fought out. Prior
to taking up the legality OF the entire
proceedings. the special sub-commit-
tee reported the rules Of procedure.
But the impeachment proceedings,
solemn and impressive as they we're,
were oyershadowed by sensational
developments in the assembly. That
body held an all-night session in an
effort to amend the articles of i'm
peachment so that they would include
specific charges Of usurpation of pow
er by Sulzer such as the pardoning of
Banker Robin and the signing as
Governor of extradition papers, and
for having made "infammatOry and
untrue" attacks on legislators during
~ .
unable to muster the votes and short
iy before 3 o'clock recessed until
noon while an attempt was made to
get absent members back to the city.
During the long night session. the
assembly added TO the bitter feeling
that already characterized the situa-
tion by sending to a cell in the AL
bany county penitentiary, James c.
Garrison. New York newspaper man
and intimate friend OF Governor
Sulzer Although Garrison demanded
the right to consult his lawyer anc
decide whether he wanted to purge
himself OF the alleged contemp
charged against him, he was helC
prisoner for hours by direction of tn
assembly speaker, AL" Smith. {
Tammany man. and his chief assist
ant Aaron J. Levy, also one Of th'
Tigers "lieutenants.
Garrison openly defied Smith whel
arraigned at the bar Of the house
and in contemptuous tones told hin
that il was up TO the assembly L
clear its own skirts rather than To-
him to explain any charges he hat
made
Immediately after the assembl,
adopted the original articles Of i'm
peachment following an all-night ses
sion that story closely resembled tha
OF last night, Garrison made the opel
charges that money had been used. II
declared that Tammany Hall in des
peration, had purchased four vote:

As a result Garrison today occupies
