Asks That Law Guide.
Mr.. Marshall pleaded with the court
TO be guided in it's course only by the
law

anarchy" he said. Let the law be the

William SulZer, but also the happiness
of future generations Shall ours be a
government of laws or one of passions

Without calling either Gov. Sulzer or

late yesterday rested their case in the
trial of his impeachment. According to
D. Cady Herrick, chief of his attorneys,
Gov. Suzer decided not to defend him

himself behind his wife. 1t was for Mrs.
Sulzer, according to the testimony, that

Friends of the governor last night pic
.ured him as man who had .martyred
himself for the sake of his wife. Judge
Herrick pointed out that the testimony OF
Allan A. Ryan best disclosed the reason

Ryan said he had with the impeached
executive early In September.

Sensation Created.
The sudden announcement that the case

sensation in the courtroom. Only a few,
lays after the trial began Gov. Sulzer
.old newspapermen that he would

said he would tell an astounding story

eader of Tammany Hall. TO take the
stand
Up TO a few days ago the governor was
still insistent that he be allowed to tell
his story, but he finally yielded to the
advice Of his attorneys.
In preparing for this story as we'll as
that expected from Mrs. Sulzer, counsel
tOr the impeachment managers had in
reserve half or a dozen more witnesses
whom they had expected to put On in

Judge Cullen excluded their testimony.
They We're George w. Egbert, a bank
examiner in charge of the books of the
new defunct Carnegie Trust Company,
and James C.. Miller, an oficial of y the
Fifth Avenue Bank of New York. Egbert
was ready to give evidence. Attorney
kresel said, that would controvert the
testimony that Mrs. Sulzer had an ac-
count in the Carnegie Trust Company or
that the company had loaned the gov
srnor money on securities owned by her.
