%FIigh Court of Impeachment at Al

$4,000 to the Sulzer campaign fund
81 Regarding Suffers story of the tele-
Ephone conversations preceding the
secontributlon Ryan declares that Sui
sgzer lis not telling the truth"
= The same comment follows Ryan's
zeXplanation of the denial Sulzer made
ito Ryan's testimony that the former
Ex-Governor asked him to intercede with
Senator Root William Barnes, ir.
: and others in an effort to have the
Impeachment stopped.
The statement in part follows:
My attention has been called to a
speech made by Mr.. Sulzer.
Mr.. Sulzer says he is giving the true
story regarding my contribution OF
$4,000 and his efforts to enlist my
services to have his trial stopped
Without hesitation / say that Mr.
ssSulzer is not telling the truth
i have no quarrel with Sulzer and
] am in no way interested in his in1-
parchment or in his quarrel with Mr..
Murphy. l volunteered no informa-
ton against Sulzer. I was sub
poenaed before the impeachment
court
How | came to make the contribu-
ton | have already testified to I'M
der oath. If Sulzer thought MY YER
sion was Incorrect he had full oppor-
.stnnity to go on the same witness
stand and deny it; but he did not,
osnd the reason was that I can cor
roborate every statement | made"
Public Service Commissioner Nc
Call. candidate for mayor, also issued
a statement which gives the lie" It
was directed at Hennessy.
-. The Mccall statement in full fol-
lows:
My attention has been called to
the publication in the columns of the
various newspapers of the city to
what purports to be the utterances
of IN individual employed by the
Fusion party. or enlisted in their
service and speaking seemingly at
their sanction in this campaign,
which. though yelled and craftily
framed. are intended to create the
!. impression in the public mind that I.
in 1902, when | was nominated for
Justice of the Supreme Court, pur-
chased my nomination by the pay
IF these alleged statements were
made at a time other than when the
city was in the throes of a political
campaign, l would be content to stand
upon my record and reputation in this
community and would not deign to
notice or call attention by my act to
this individual who makes these state
ments or attach any such significance
to them as warranting a denial from
me. But under the circumstances
deem it a duty not only to myself and
family. but to the electorate of this
community to make emphatic, specific
and detailed denial of every state
ment that this creature has uttered.
. "Gross SANDER"
"A careful reading of what is pur-
ported to have been stated by him
leaves one somewhat in doubt as to
whether he makes positive declara-
ton that I paid money for my iu-
dicial nomination or whether in de-
iivering himself in questioning form
he wants to carry to the public mind
an insinuation or intimation to that
effect. But In every aspect, whether
II be by the holiness of positive state
ment or the wckedness of the more
devious method. I want to stamp his
utterance or his insinuation as gross
and outrageous SANDER. without the
slightest vestige of truth and consti-
tutng an outrage that will neces-
sarily call for further action.
