impulsiveness. that he would never
permit her TO take the witness stand
at his trial. Friends expect TO dis

they believe that the Governors case
Will be materially strengthened when
she tells her story to the court.
Mrs. Suffers illness Is so serious as
to announcement made to-day by Gov

In the opinions of some of the Gov

ment will never sit in Judgment on his
case. and Mrs Sulzer will be saved the
ordeal of examination at the hands
of counsel for political interests bitter
toward her husband.

There will be no undignified fight
for the governorship. according to
statements setting forth the intentions
of both claimants for the office.
