Arraigns Executive.

ALBANY, N. Y. oct. s.-Judgs
Alton B. Parker, in the course of d
bitter arraignment of Governor Will
liam sulzer before the court of i'm
parchment this afternoon, declared
that the Governor had knowingly
sworn to a lie when he reported only
$b,46O Of receipts in the face Il
s374OO of proven contributions.
He riddled the Sarecky testimony,
declaring it unworthy of belief and
said that the Governor must indeed
have been proud of his pupil whan
he read the report that omitted all of
the contributions from the great in
terests, the liquor dealers or the pol;.
ucians included in 1t, and he added:
The man who, read that list, ana
examined t. knew it was not true.
1t does not help him for the boy to
say he did the best he could; his
master knew It was a lie"
For more than two hours Louis
Marshall, speaking in defense Of
Governor SulseF, attacked the right
of the court Of impeachment to con-
Wet the Governor upon charges that
related solely to things transpiri lg
before his term of office began.
In powerful speech, In so far as
its technical legal force was cor
cerned, the attorney hammered this
fact at the judges of the high court.
"All Of the meat In the impeach-
ment hangs about the one offense of
making a false campaign statement
which was rendered before the Gov
ernor's term of office began, and the
court is without power to punish for
an act which does not involve official
misconduct in Office" he said.

Unique Testimony in an Unusual
Divorce Case-Husband Com
mended by Court.

one IT the most unusual divorce
eases on record was aired before
Judge Ellis Thursday when Robert A.
Harper testified that he had willingly
his bride of an hour be-
cause the girls parents thought it
best The court warmly commended
Harper for his course.
Judge Ellls' Vsords arc calculated tc
cause much joy among parents who
are opposed to the love affairs of theh
offspring.
Mrs Bertha Dickinson Harper, the
plaintiff in the case, was given first
verdict for total divorce as a result
Of her husbands dutiful "desertion."
Husband Testifies.
The case was perhaps one of the
most interesting in the history of di-
yorce proceedings in Fulton County
courts, The defendant. who is barely
% years old, was ordered to take the
stand to testify as to the merits Of
his WIfe's suit for divorce.
Young Harper verified the argu-
ments set forth by his youthful bride
who is very pretty, and told the court
mat he thought it best to separate
from his wife Immediately after the
CEREMONY because of the opposition of
The parents.
Conference Held,
The separation, it was stated, fol-
owed a family conference held at the
nome Of the girls parents shortly
after the ceremony had been per-
formed
Following the testimony of Harper
Judge Ellis, addressing the jury, com
'e0ded the young man for his ac-
-'h stating that he did the wise
.4-ns to yield to the wishes of the
parents and leave his bride before
further entanglements.
The Harpers were married in
march. 1908, without the consent of
."e girls parents. Harper was repre-
'e"lea by Attorney w. NJ. Smith,

was swindled out of $4,000 in a
fake pool room here, equipped
with telegraph instruments and
wires leading to another room by
three of the cleverest crooks
working on the Pacific coast. The
pool room was in the Belmont ho-
tel. Besides the wires and in
struments it was equipped with
all of the apparent geuuineuess
of a licensed bookmaxers' stall
in the days when betting on horse
racing was in it's prime. Han ton
has appealed to Chief of Police
Bannick, Mayor Cotterill and Cap
tain of Detectives Charles Ten

made. The first of the operations
of the swindlers was on March

Harton is nearing 60 years of

weeks ago from Butte, Mont, and
registered at the Northern hotel,
