the presiding officer OF the Senate.
When the High Court OF Impeach
ment had transacted its business II
took an adjournment 10 fixed day
for the purpose OF keeping the court
alive long enough 10 remedy such de
fects In the record as the errors oi
stenographers and printers may by ac
cdent have placed there. At the ex
piration OF whatever interval TO which
| the court adjourns the High Court OF
| Impeachment will die OF Its own pom
derous weight. Thus will end a his
toric tribunal which has set many
precedents In the matter OF impeach-
ment TO be followed by other courts
In other States.
Glynn In No Hurry.
The new Governor exhibited no In.
decent haste in requiring from the
old occupant OF the mansion his latch
key. Glynn was disposed TO wait un-
I'll It pleased Governor Sulzer to de-
part In peace from the Eagle street
mansion which for moro than a
than a house provided by the great
est commonwealth In America for the
entertainment OF It's chief officer.
Mrs. SulZer and her sisters were
with the Governor at the mansion
during the closing hours OF the fight
made by his friends to save his polit-
ical life. II was a pathetic little group
OF faithful retainers that remained at
the mansion while the members OF
the High Court were saying the words
that took from Governor Sulzer every
vestige OF the place, the honor and
the prestige with which the people
OF the state but few months before
had invested him.
1t took the high court sitting in the
onyx Senate Chamber ut the Capitol
three hours and two minutes to vote
on article /. Nearly all OF the nine
Court OF Appeals Judges and many
Senators repeated for the public the
opinions already heard by the court
in private conference.
Eager auditors OF the over1owing
ton OF several weeks ago, "as Chief
Judge Cullen goes so goes the court"
was wrong. Judge Cullen was among
the eighteen who thought the Cover
nor should be acquitted-not because
he had been proved gulltless, but for
the reason that he should not have
been impeached for conduct that took
place before he entered office. Judge
Cullen took the same stand as to ar
ticle 2. In again raising his voice
for acqulttal on article he said
Judge cullen's Views.
Ear better that the Assembly II II
deem wise should present new articles
OF impeachment and the State should
be put to the expense OF another trial
rather than that precedent should
be set for what seems violation OF
the ordinary principles OF Justice"
But on this vote only two Court of
Appeals Judges stood with their chief
--Hiscock end Miller. And two Sen
ators who had agreed with Thin that
the Governor should be acquitted un-
der article voted guilty as TO article
They were Walter r.. Herrick,
Democrat. OF Manhattan and James
A. Emerson, Republican, OF Warrens-
burg.
IL was apparent that William Sui.
zer insured his conviction on the
charges contained In this article when
he said 10 Duncan w. Peck, Superlu-
tendent OF Public Works, who had
given him $500 In cash. "Do as I
shall-deny IT," and added when Mr..
Peck suggested that he might he un.
der oath before the Frawley commit
tee. "That's nothing-forget e."
Judges Willard Bartlett and Emory
Chase Of the Court OF Appeals speci-
fcally said they voted guilty because
the Peck testimony. included in article
at the eleventh hour. had not been
contradlcted by any witness.
The disclosure OF Mr.. Peck. former
friend Of the Governor and the Gov.
ernors own appointee, was damning
and in pondering Il the court con.
fronted no constitutional question as
TO impeachable offences. for Il was in
July last that Peck and Sulzer had
their little talk.
10 was the twentieth day W the
Sulzer trial Except for those flAshing
moments when young Sarecky I'M
perilled his own good name in vain
endeavor TO save his friend and when
