OF perjury and Ct attempting 10 in
duce another 20 commit perjury.
The vote was 43 10 -.
chief Justice cullen and Sonato-
Wonde did not vote.
There was bitter denunclation Z
the Governor in the closing hours,
when the court proceeded to dismiss
articles 3, and E. Dishonor was
heaped upon the head Of the convict
ed official. and in the disFracing ~
Sulzer even Chief Judge Cullen. who
had steadily voted 10 acquit him
Joined with a scathing comment upon
The dishonorable practice OF the Gov
ernor.

by virtue OF succession from the Of
fee OF Lieutenant Governor. and
Robert G Wagner President OF the
senate, became Lieutenant Governor.

Judge Cullen, OF the Court OF Ap-
peals

iatiOn. / have no such feeling" said
Governor Glynn. "To me it is an oc-
casion Of solemnity mixed with sad
ness. am charged with the duties
Of Governor. not through any act nor
desire OF mine, but because the law
which ! am sworn to uphold imposes
the obligation upon me under the
distressing circumstances OF the sit

ment in the minds of the political
workers
Further Action Talked
Purely collateral was other specu-
lation as to whether or not an at
tempt would be made to bring Crim!-
nal prosecution against Sulzer.
The conviction on the charge Of
perjury left an indiCtable offense fully
sustained by the court of last resort
and made the way easy for indie
ment If one were to be pressed.
The court voted unanimously not
TO disqualify the Governor from fu-
ture offices OF trust.
The indication was that no further
action would be taken against The
former Governor unless he made such
charges against Tammany workers
as demar led a war OF eXtermina tion.
The court voted first to day on arti.
Gle 3, which charged him with having
prevented Frederick L. Colwel from
testifying. The unanimous vote was
not guilty
Then article 6 was read and mot
guilty" voted in short order The
larceny charge had received it's first
blow at the beginning of the court S
work when Chief Judge Cullen stop
ped evidence bearing upon the ques-
tion Of larceny long enough to point
ticle

Governor used the authority and in
iiuence OF his office to effect legisla-

other bills, and with attempting to
