among prominent charitable and phil

There is oPen criticism here that so

''T-c sending OF that great ship la

Says State Must Show
Armstrong Insolvent
to Prove Conspiracy

At the review of the conviction of
William c. Armstrong on charge
of conspiracy against the wrecked
Roseville Trust Company before Part
of the Supreme Court, at Tren-
ton, Armstrong; guilt was emphati-
calIy denied by his counsel, Wilbur
A. Heisley. He contended that the
State would have to prove Arm
strong insolvent before 1t had proved
that he was guilty of conspiracy.
The lawyer contended that Arm
strong had securities deposited in the
bank as security against any heavy
overdrafts on his part. On the value
of these securities he declared rest
ed the determination of whether or
not Armstrong was guilty as found.
He also pointed out that Raymond
| q. Smith, treasurer, and Tellers Jen-
| nings and Thompson, of the defunet
trust company, had denied the exis-
tence of any combination between
! Armstrong and Smith. Smith pleaded
non vuIt and the two tellers were
acquitted on the conspiracy charge.

court yesterday afternoon In behalf
| of George e. Mausert, convicted at

Suffers Poll of 10000
Votes in New York Proved
Big Help to Whitman

ALBANY, Nov 5.-Revised returns
indicate that william Suffers total
vote In the State will approximate
10000, less than one-third of 1t re-
ceived in New York city. While his
total vote does not equal the plurality
of District Attorney Whitman over
Governor Glynn, 1t had the effect of
throwing practically every close up
State county into the Republican col
umn. Suffers strength in Schorarie,
additionally Democratic county,
was remarkable. He polled 2124
votes, against 1870 for Governor
Glynn. whitman polled 2,242 votes
and carried the county.
The Sulzer vote in Erie, Monroe,
Onondaga, Rensselaer, and Cayuga
was a disappointment to the Sulzer
supporters.
In Schenectady county Sulzer, polled
1887 votes, as against 1875 for Gov
ernor Glynn. In Broome> he received
1881 votes, or Is more than the gov
ernor.
Revised figures in Steuben county
show that Sulzer lacked only SO votes
of carrying the county over Whitman,
while he had a plurality Of LAZY over
Glynn.
Foremost among the reasons adj
vanced to explain the Sulzer vote was
the religious element injected into the
election. Sympathy for Sulzer was
also strong in Steubenrat the time of
his impeachment. Temperance advo-
Gates figured largely among those
who voted for Sulzer. Railroad men OF
Corning and Hornell, which towns he
carried, were almost q unit for Sulzer,
on account of his signing the full crew
bill while governor.
