Neither Tammany nor Sulzer Is real

On a writ issued by Justice Rudd
OF the supreme court, hearing Will
be given Saturday on the application
to prohibit the trial. It is contended
that the action Of the legislature in
impeaching Sulzer was illegal. and
therefore calls for an Illegal expendi

brought by Samuel A. Fowler, who
appeared as a tax payer. Should JUS
tice Rudd rule against Fowler the &C
ton will be carried before the cour'
Of appeals.
I Sitting with the legislature, mem
bers Of the court of appeals compris'

Of Governor sulzer contend that tn
impeachment court is the highes
court in the state and If its actor
started before Jusice Rudd will b.

body would then have to rule as t
