DEFENSE.
PROSECUTION NOT ANXIOUS
TO HEAR sAREckY's STORY
Declares He Can Prove $4,000 Of Fund
Used by Governor Was Not Portion
Of Campaign Observation-Disclosures
Does Not Expect Long cross-Esam-
ination-Trial Resumed Today.

Albany. N. Y, Oct. 6.-This was the
opening day for the defense In the I'M
peachment trial Of Goveronr Suizer.
According to the agreed program only
an afternoon session OF court was 10
be held, beginning at 2:15 o'clock ana
lasting until 6 p. m. Senator Hervey
w. Hilman planned to occupy half this
time with his opening address.
Louis A. Sarecky was selected as the
first witness. AS campaign secretary
to the governor he handled much oil
tho money contributed to the campaign
fund and many checks intended for
Sulzer were made out to Sarecky. He
said on his arrival here that he could
prove that at least $4,000 which the
governor is charged with not having
reported really was not campaign
contribution, but came to Sulzer from
an entirely different source.
Prosecution Fears Sareeky.
Counsel for the governor have main
tanned since the beginning of the trial
that attorneys for the board OF man l.
ayers were not anxious to have
Sarecky testify and that today the
legal advisers OF the defense said they
expected his cross examination would
be brief.
Counsel for the managers say they
searched for twenty -one days for
Sarecky before he finally turned up
here and was summoned. Much was
made of his discovery at the time but
they never called him to the stand.
Prosecution Reopens Case.
Despite the protest of Governor Sui
zer's counsel, IL motion by attorneys :or
the assembly board Of managers to
permit them to reopen their case and
Introduce further testimony was al
lowed by Presiding Judge Cullen this
afternoon. The new testimony was ex-
pected to be brief.
A new unreported campaign contri-
button of $4,000 developed In the i'm
parchment trial of Governor Sulzer this
afternoon. l. V. McClone testified that
he handed the governor ten $1,000 bills
for his employer Allan A. Ryan, a son
of Thomas f. Ryan. last October.

he did was q few nights ago when he
robbed the Astor cafe located a block
from the detective bureau.
Police Believe Story.
Chief of Police McWeeny believes
Spencer is telling the truth.
II believe we have the man who
committed this large number Of mur-
ders," said the chief. when Penneil
and Devine were murdered was a
lieutenant at the detective bureau and
worked on the case. talked with
Spencer about it for half an hour and
we went over the story in way that
makes me think he is telling the
truth"
ut is the most wonderful confession
ever made in the United States, assert
ed Captain Halpin 1--WE have not been
able to trip him up in his statements
but 1t will take several days to es-
tablish the truth or falsness OF his
story"
Police Growing Skeptical.
While the police are satisfied that
Spencer is guilty of many murders be-
side that of Mrs. Mildred Allison REX
roat, they were forced to tie conclusion
today that his statement that he MUIR
dered twenty persons is an exaggera-
ton.
Spencer is addicted to the opium
habit, a symptom Of which is a weird
and grotesque Imagination. Several
years ago the police had occasion TO
investigate his conduct and learned
that while in prison at Joliet on a
charge OF larceny the prison authors
ties had regarded him as mentally de-
fecttye and from time to time confined
him to the infirmary. He told fellow
prisoners of having committed several
murders.
After he was released from prison ne
came to Chicago and visited detective
headquarters. where he said he wanted
to "live square and asked to be assist
ed to employment. He told Frank
Shennesy, secretary to Chief of De-
i1ctives Harpin, that he had committed
several murders. The secretary identi-
fed him today and said that at the time
of Spencer's visit he considered the man
mentally unsound.
