Of the seven governors, who, prior
to Gov. Sulzer, have been impeached
since the thirteen states became the
united States of America, two were
convicted, one resigned in %considera-
ton of which act the Impeachment
was withdrawn; the term Of Office OF
one expired and the proceedings were
dropped, one was acquitted, and the
charges against the seventh were
dropped. @
In 1862 Charles Robinson was gov
ernor of Kansas. The state needed
money for current expenses, and con
sequently a bond issue OF $15O.O00
was made. Money was carce at that
time, the Civil war having just start
ed, and the United States govern
ment, which had money in trust for
the Indian tribes to invest, was be-
sought to buy the bonds. The gov.
ernor, the secretary of state, and the
state auditor had been authorized by,
the legislature to negotiate the sale
of the bonds. Robert Stevens, a pol
itician, was cailed in by the three
state officials, and he finally arranged
with Caleb B. Smith, the secretary
of the interior, for the purchase of
the bonds with the Indian funds. All
of the Kansas representatives in con-
gress approved the deal in writing
with the exception of Senator Lane,
who objected on the ground that he
feared Stevens would use his com
mission to buy votes to elect himself
to Lanes job. Then $1,000 was paid
to Lanes secretary, who procured
the senator's signature by fraud. The
legislature of Kansas impeached the
secretary of state, the state auditor,
and Gov. Robinson. The two former
were convicted, but Robinson was &C.
quilted.
A formidable list of charges was
presented against Gov. Harrison
Reed of Florida in 1868. He was ac-
cused of falsehood and lying in Off
cial matters, incompetency, unlawful

The impeachment of Gov. William

In the ensuing confusion no one
made an effort to intercept Thaw,
who for a moment stood over the vic

elevator of the roof garden, where he
met the house detective and handed
over his revolver without resistance,

Pittsburgh on April 4, 1905. She was

Begins Legal Fight.
With Thaw in the Tombs, the legal
fight to free him began with the
weight of his family's millions behind
a formidable array of counsel. His
first trial resulted in a disagreement.
At the second trial the jury acquit-
ted him on the charge OF murder on
the ground that he was insane when
he shot White, and Justice Bowling
committed Thaw to MatteaWan as an
insane criminal.
Thaw entered the asylum Feb. 8.
1908. Since then the Thaw family
has spent a sum estimated at $780,
