FAMILY FINANCES IN STRAITS

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 1S.--That a
conspiracy was Matched by Wall
Street and Tammany Hall 10 get
Governor Sulser hopelessly entang-
led and in their clutches---a ton-
spiracy with a woman as its unwit-
ting victim-will be charged as
basis for the defense of the i'm
peached Governor if the impeach-
ment comes to trial.
Sulzer and his counsel confidently
hope that it will not. They believe
the action of the Assembly will be
declared unconstitutional and that
the impeachment court will never
assemble.
The high points of the conspiracy
story upon which Sulzer has built
his hopes of a complete yindic alton
are these:
I. That while Sulzer was away
campaigning Matthew 4. Horgan,
who was living at the Su'zer home
and keeping Charles ?. Murphy IN
formed Of events, gave Mrs. Sulrer
tie tip ON Big Four.
2. At that time Sulzer WAS in
debt $4,000 and Mrs. Sulzer saw
an opportunity to rehabilitate the
family finances by acting on this
market tip. She was assured IL
could not go wrong.
3. Campaign contributors had
been coming in large amounts andI
she took the checks. regarding her
act as a legitimate temporary loan,
and bought stocks.
4. She was assured there would
be an immediate and sensational
rise in the price of Big Four and she
could take her profits and reimburse ,
the campaign fund.
s.. That her bank books and
memoranda Of these transactions
were stolen so she would be unable
to furnish the proof of her acts If
ever called upon to do so.
1t is claimed that Louis A. Sarec- ]
ky, Suffers private secretary. had
full knowledge of these transactions
and aided Mrs. Sulzer in carrying |
out her plan to rehabilitate her hus-
bands finances.
He is looked to by the Sulzer de- ,
Tense to take the stand and swear !
that Horgan gave Mrs. Sulzer the
tip, assuring her that it could not
go wrong and that she was certain
to make a profit of many thousand
dollars.
The impeached Governor hopes to
establish that at the time Morgan
was living at his home he was in
constant communication with Muir
ply and that the market tip came
through him from Murphy. Sulzer
recently said that he has learned
that during the timeHorgan was liv-
ing as a member of his family he
was on intimate terms with Murphy.
Tammany foes of Sulzer de-
clare this conspiracy is so weak it
will not stand analysis. They point
out that Mrs. Sulzer could not hope
to win in the market the $4,000
her husband owed; that she was not
'peculating. but bought the stock
outright. Had the stock gone up, as
she professed to have believed. her
profit on 400 shares could not possi-
bly, have been more than a few
thousand dollars.
The reply of Mrs. Suffers friends
o this is that she had been assured
here would be- sensational rise,

Up Big Four stock from so way
hove par. and she anticipated her !,
purchase would net her a profit OF !,
nore than $4,000.
