he would have TO "cut that out" An

overlooked, but later, while marching
with the broom shop gang in the yard.
he got out of line and was cautioned
again.
Thus far he has managed 10 escape
punishment. but his conduct in the fut-
ure will have to improve. This morning
he was assigned to a gang of yard men
who were engaged in pulling a hand
car, laden with soft COAL to the various
coal pits OF the prison industries. In
the gang were several negro prisoners

work in weaving doormats, and he then
may be advanced to broom making. Ex-

physician, showed that the new arrivals

BROKERS' CONCEAL SUFFERS
MARGINS AS "LOAN" IN BOOKS

Apparently il was an ordinary account
current before that
YES, sir" Fuller replied.
"Why did YOU change il, and did you
have any conversation with Governor Sui
ger about the change" Judge Cullen pur-
sued.
Fuller answered that he had no CONVEX
sation with the Governor about the
change. and that the only object was that
instead OF taking those securities and put
ting them out in collateral loans the firm
would keep them I'm it's box and not use
them. Judge Cullen commented that by
such a move the stockholders, instead OF
accommodating themselves, would merely
limit their own power TO use the securi-
tics.
How did you come to do that" he
asked.
Probably because my partners thought
4, was wise not TO have securities going
around the Street in William Suffers
name" was the reply.
The successive entries and re-entries by
which Harris e. Fuller changed the Sui
ger account from the status of an ordl-
nary stock speculation account into loan
account and back again furnished the
only chapter of the Fuller testimony on
which the witness was in any way back
ward. From March IS. 1910. when Sulzer
opened the account with a deposit OF 100
shares OF big Four" Railroad stock. on
the $50 loan for which he margined the
purchase of another 100 shares OF the
same stock. until July Is. OF this year. less
than a month before his Impeachment,
when he sent Lieutenant Commander /.
NJ. Josephtha TO pay off the $4,000 bal
aBce he then owed. Fuller laid bare all the
dealings in the account

we'll as part OF the afternoon in an eH-
animation of Melville B. Fuller. of Harris
G. Fuller. the stock brokers who carried
the only open account boldly carried
under the name Of William Sulzer that
the prosecution has yet shown.
Mr.. Fuller gave the impression OF oe'
ing ready to make a clear and connected
statement OF the dealings between his
firm and Sulzer. both before and after
ne became Governor. but Kresel dalhed
and repeated himself so much that not
only the witness but President Cullen
tired OF It. Fuller tried TO obviate any
necessity for such tactics by Kresel by
clear and detailed answers. and Judge
Cullen attempted 10 end needless delays
by correcting Kresel at numerous points
in the examination.
Fuller's story covered the same ground
as that covered in his evidence before
the Frawley committee and later before
the Assembly board of managers. When
he came down TO the point just prior TO
the Inauguration OF Sulzer as Governor.
when Harris & Fuller, by bookkeeping
entry. transferred the Sulzer stock deal
ing margin account TO a loan account.
kresel brought out that the alleged loan
was nothing more than remaining OF
the balance OF the Sulzer stock dealing
account. Fuller said at first that it meant
merely that 1t would be easier for the
firm 20 keep Suffers stock certificates
in its own posse ssion IL the account was
carried as a loan. and then Judge Cullen
took a hand in questioning the witness.

end they rushed him to the witness
stand at once.
Said They Were Mrs. Suffers.

Only less important. in the estima-
ton OF the managers and their counsel,
was the information they received from
Mr. Fuller, who is head OF the firm OF
Harris & Fuller, who handled an &C
count for Sulzer for several years.
. Fuller swore that in the latter part OF
July, the day after he was subp9naed
TO testify before the Frawley commit
tee, he saw the Governor at the Elk
ecutive Mansion at the Governors in
Vitation. He told Sulzer that he would
refuse 10 testify and to produce his
books if his lawyers said he could
do 50.
Thereupon the Governor he said, told
him II was the opinion Of Louis Mar
shall that he need not testify, and that
there was much doubt about the legal
ity Of the appointment OF the legisla-
tive committee. The Governor offered
20 supply an attorney for him and TO
pay any expenses to which he might be
put, he testified. but he said he would
rely on his own lawyer.
Thereupon. he continued, the Gov
ernor told him that the securities which
had figured in the William Sulzer &C
count and on which money had been
loaned at various times were Mrs. Sui
GERS. Fuller said that the Governor
had told him that Mrs. Sulzer had
loan with the now defunct Carnegie
Trust Company, of New York, and that
in order TO take up the loan. for which
he had given his note, he had deposited
securities belonging TO Mrs. Sulzer with
Harris & Fuller. and borrowed thereon
with which TO pay the note.
Account Was Speculative.
Fuller said the Governor had told him
this in the Executive Mansion in Al
bany on July 80, when he had called
there al MIR. Suffers request after re-
Ceiving a subpoena TO appear before the
Frawley investigating committee.
MIR Fuller, you know that these Sc
curities were Mrs. suffers. don't you?"
the Governor asked him, according TO
the witness.
The broker said he replied in the neg
alive.
We'll said the Governor, these Sc
curities belonged to Mrs. Sulzer when I
brought them TO you" Fuller tes-
titled. she had loan with the Car
negie Trust Company. They required
me to give note every three months,
end it was very annoying. so l took the
securities down 10 YOU and borrowed
the money from YOU
II said TO Governor Sulzer: That
may all be true. There is no evidence
Of anything OF that kind on my books
and cannot be proved by me. II il is
true you'll have no trouble in proving
il by the books Of the Carnegie Trust
Company.
From Fuller the counsel for the i'm
parchment managers also OBJ, aimed testi-
mony TO show that the Sulzer account, in
which no transaction bore Mrs. Suffers
name and I'm which she had never figured.
was just an ordinary Wall Street stock
account from~the time ii was opened IN
1910 up TO the close Of 1912. after Suffers
election. Purchases, sales and loans on
stock figured in g. Hut at the end Of last
, December there was a bookkeeping entry
which transferred his open stock &C

speculative account, into the form Of a
