on the propriety OF their acts
lust nj the close Of the session To-Day
the Assembly managers introduced INTO
evidence a bank account of Hugh D.
Reilly. contractor and railroad
builder for the Cuban government, VINO
recently announced that he had loaned
Governor sulzer $4,000 in cash. Reilly
had relations with Sulzer when the lat
ter was chairman of the Foreign Al
fairs Committee in Congress. He may
be a witness tomorrow.
With the presentation of some sup
Elementary evidence tomorrow regard
ing unaccounted for contributions TO
Sulzer and further testimony regard
ing Suffers Wall Street transactions
Tho case against Governor SulZer will
be completed. IT is quite possible mat
the prosecution will rest before the
davis session Of the High Court OF I'M
parchment ends.
This will depend largely on develop
ments in the stock market testimony
which may take more time than the
LAWYERS for the prosecution are now
figuring on. One witness whom they
have so far been unable to subGna Is
John BOYD Gray. of the firm OF Fuller
& GRAY. where the mysterious account
No. 500" was kept. This account IN
which figured 800 shares Of Big Four
stock was known in Office gossip as
the Sulzer account.
One Link Still Missing.
One Of the employees told the Court
OF Impeachment to-day that Gray had
told him, when opening the account
that it was for Sulzer. But the an
swer was ruled out. and so the record
does not yet contain any official linking
Of the Governor with these stock pur-
ohases. Gray's partner. Arthur j.
Fuller. was examined at great length
about the account. but was unable 10
furnish the desired link. He did prom
,se though, to try 10 have his partner
IN court tomorrow, which is the near
est the prosecution has been TO get'ing
hold of Gray in two weeks search.
More important even than this feature
OF the prosecutions task IS analysis Oh
the stock transactions Sulzer had with the
firm OF Harris & Fuller. Melville b. ful-
Ter a brother Of the Fuller OF ruler
GRAY. produced a transcript OF Governor
suffers account with his firm Harris q
Fuller. as brought out by the FraWieE
committee. Counsel for the Impeachment
managers made no effort 10 prove N'e
stock transactions shown In the account
as had been done in the case OF NJ D.
FuIler's examination before the fra"le!
committee. They merely brought out mat
in November and December OF 1912 GOV
ernor Sulzer paid into the account Slo'VVV
in cash.
This is the account which, ACCORDING
TO a statement Of Governor Suffers ana
the stock brokers'. was merely loan ac-
count. Tho Governor they said, obtained
= loan of money on stock pledged as COL
lateral II is no secret that the prosecu-
ton Is preparing to challenge that state
ment and TO endeavor 10 prove that thls
account was a speculative one extending
over considerable period. Through TINS
account they hope TO prove the charge
in the articles Of impeachment that while
the Governor was recommending drastic
stock exchange legislation likely to af-
feet the values Of securities ne was IN
the market"
To Rest on Proof Now In.
The lawyers for the managers believe
they have proved the charge OF failure
n to account for campaign contributions in
the Governors sworn statement OF re-
W ceipts, and they Will not go much further
along that line. on the theory that further
testimony would merely cucumber the
records. The managers say that their In
. vestigations showed contributions Of ap
proximately $4,000. cash and checks
whereas the Sulzer statement accounte'
for something under 5000
In addition TO contributions from Wal
Street, the Cotton Exchange members

brought out. there was disclosed to-da!
contribution from the head OF the al
legged coffee trust" John s. Sorenson
Of the firm Of Crossman a. Sielcken. swor
that he delivered $3.50 cash into tn
hands OF the Democratic candidate TO
Governor.
The Governors counsel reiterated 10
night that he would insist on telling al
his story to the Impeachment Court. This
story will be not only the formal defence
that the campaign contributions unac
counted for were regarded by him as per
sonal gifts, intended TO help him out OF
hole, and that not he, but Mrs. Sulzer
was the stock Spectator. but 1T will &c
further, II the court permits, into the
Sulzer-Tammany fight.
The unofficial counsel for SulZer who
appeared 10 be engineering this phase OF
his defence sought TO obtain 80 blank
subpenas from the clerk OF the court
They let II be known that they intended
to serve every member of the Assembly
and political bosses all over the state and
10 interrogate them in the witness chair
about the alleged Tammany conspiracy

parchment The clerk did not have that
number OF forms, so they had to be con-
tent with fifty.
