tho remotest connection with the cam
paign.
Not single charge In the articles
OF impeachment has been proved. The
testimony Of Duncan w. Peck, that the
Governor told him not to admit that
ne had given $500. Is false. and 1t will
be simple thing to discredit that
story by showing Peck's motive.
Tho story of Cornelius s. Pinckney,
who sworc he gave 500, and that the
Governor told him not to mention 1t
because he did not intend to account
Tor II, is as red as IT IL false. Pinck-
ney swore there was no one In the
room when he saw the Governor.
Il was there and can tell just what
took place.
"Pinckney took two checks out Of
his pocket; and standing up at the side
OF tho roll-top desk. started to write.
The Governor said: Make the check
out to Sarecky. He handles all those
things for me-
"Pinckney then tore up the first
check and made out another and hand
ed 1t to me. 1 had given him pen
and was standing beside him. Wouldn't
man be q fool. II he did intend to
DO crooked. to say to n stranger, Don't
mention this as / do not intend to
account for it,?
Charge Utterly False.
The charge that the Governor bribed

Governor at the time. Mr.. Hennessy
pointed out that there was going TO
be vacancy in the office l now hold
and told me TO go to the Governor and
ask for it.
"All these things will be exnIairod
on the stand. and there will be no need
Tor the Governor to testify. If the
court is fair he cannot be convicted
on that evidence"
Lieutenant Commander l.. NJ. Joseph
thai, member of the Governors star
and Wall Street broker, will testify
mat he simply transferred Suffers nc-
count from the firm of Harris &; Full
Ter. paying the loan OF $4,000 and
That he is carrying the loan in the
name of Airs. Sulzer with the stock he
took from Harris & Fuller as sccu-
ity.
Frederick J.. Colwell, IL called. will
support the general line OF defense. 1t
is doubtful. however, IL he will come
into the State to testify. He is in q
sanatorium suffering from nervous
breakdown. lie fears arrest for CON

was held tonight at the Executive
Mansion.
Before going to the Executive Man
sion. Senator Harvey ID. Hinman said
that his opening statement was not
ready to give out. He had worked over
II almost INCREASINGLY since court ad-
journed Thursday. Ills failure to tln-
ish the address produced many rurnors
regarding the status of the Governors
case
One OF the most persistent rumore
was that the Governors counsel went
into the conference Tonight feeling
anything but secure. Tho Governor

n final review OF the case and give his
counsel absolute assurance that there
was no ground lie had not covered so
Mr.. Hinman might close his address
