LAWYER DECIDES
AGAINST SULZER

New York. August 16.-Archbald r.
Watson, corporation counsel of New York
city, late today advised Patrick A. Whit
ney, commissioner of corrections, against
delivery of a prisoner to police officers
from Connecticut ON a requisition signed
by William Sulzer as governor of New
York.
Commissioner Whitney, in a detailed
statement, had asked for an opinion in
proper court to rursue in view of the
Sulzer-Glynn controversy at Albany over
the governorShip.
After going at length into the law and
Facts, Mr. Watson concluded his opinion
in these words:
My conclusion is that you would not
be justified at the present time in deliv-
ering up person lawfully In your GUS
tody under a warrant in the form issued
ana executed as YOU have described"
AS to the constitutionalty OF the inn
peachment. the opinion says that 1t is
necessary to note that the Impeachment
of Governor Sulzer was found during an
extraordinary session of the legislature
On this point Mr.. Watson holds that
While the constitution prohibits the leg
islature in extraordinary session from
considering any subjects except those
recommended by the governor, this prohi-
bition does not extend to proceedings by
the assembly for the Impeachment of the
executive.
