Albany, N. Y, Sept 30.-Gov. Sulzer
Monday won a triple victory over his
accusers at the trial of his impeach-
ment.
Presiding Judge Cullen, of the high
court, barred the introduction of evil
dence intended to prove that the Gov
ernor had made a corrupt political
bargain with Assemblyman Patre of
Green county, and held that the testi.
mony brought forward to show that
he had made similar bargains with
Assemblyman Sweet of Oswego coun-
ty and Assemblyman Prime of Essex
was incompetent.
The legislation had to do, in each
case, with highway and bridge improve
ments provided for in bills passed by
the Legislature to which the assembly
men were desirous of getting the Gov
ernor's signature. In the Patre case.
however, no charges were brought in
the articles of impeachment, and on
this ground Judge Cullen threw the
charge out.
The Sweet and Prime cases were
specified in article of the impeach-
ment, charging that the Governor had
vetoed one and signed the other bill.
One assemblyman had failed to sup
port the Governors direct primary bill
and the other did so after consulting
Gov Sulzer, the managers charged.
Assemblyman Sweet testified that
when he urged the Governor to ap-
prove his bill he was asked whether
he had voted for the direct primary
bill, which had been defeated in the
regular session of the legislature.
'I told him voted against It," said
the witness.
The primary bill was to come up
again at the extraordinary session in
July, and the Governor wanted to know
how Sweet proposed to vote at that
time. Sweet said he replied: accord
ing to the sentiment and in the interest
, of my district"
! To this, according to Sweet, the Gov.
=. ernor replied with advice to see his,per-
sonal counsel, Valentine Taylor, "and

ney Bracket, of counsel for the inn

Homer Aiken, a negro, succumbed to
wounds he received at the hands of
the two Jones brothers who began the
riot which ended when they were
lynched.
Officers here, in trying to find the
real cause of the riots worked on the
theory that the Jones boys were ad-
vised to begin their reign of murder
and in their drugged condition readily
acquisced. 1t has been predicted that
if the mother of the boys should be
brought back to her home from which
she fed when the shooting began she
might be summarily dealt with. She
was captured at Port Gibson early

WRECK INJURIES FIFTY.
District Attorney Has Trouble in Gath
ering Evidence on Cause.

Rochester, N. Y, June 23.-Fffty per-
sons were injured, some of them seri-
ously. when a Pennsylvania railroad ex-
cursion train was derailed near Ster-
ling station Sunday morning.
While the train was running at about
40 miles an hour, three of the five
coaches left the track, rolling down
an embankment. AS it rounded a curve
the smoking car left the track, followed
by all but two railroad coach
es. The locomotive also re-
mained on the track, breaking away
from the train after dragging the
coaches about 200 feet.
Practically all the injured were resi-
dents of this city. 1t is not believed
any of them is fatally hurt.
It was said that District Attorney
Frank K. Cook was refused permits
sion to examine the wreck when he ar
rived at the scene.
Mr.. Cook said he believed bad ties
were directly responsible for the wreck
After the district attorney had re-
turned home he was informed that rail-
road men were going to burn the ties
for a hundred yards on both sides of
the wreck. Mr.. Cook, accompanied by
Sheriff Acond, rushed back to the
wreck.
They found that the ties had been
thrown together in an adjoining field,
but railroad man said this was done
to get them out of the way. Sheriff
Acond demanded that the officials re-
frain from burning any ties or cars.
