ALBANY, n. Y, Sept I'D Cady
Herrick, former State Judge, as chief
counsel for Governor William Sulzer at
his impeachment trial, leads the fight to
save Tammany Halls enemy. Judge Her
rick is a fighter, and he.was prepared to
battle to the last ditch to save the
States executive from political dis
grace. Inasmuch as Sulzer is the first
governor of New York State to be i'm
peached, the lawyers on both sides and
the court realized that precedents would
be established. For that reason Judge
Herrick had spent practically all his
time since the impeachment in planning
the defenses and looking up the law as
applied in other cases. This picture of
Judge Herrick was taken at the opening
of the trial.
