counsel but did not appear in person
in, the senate chamber.
Hut little business beyond the work
of swearing in its members was done
this morning and the court adjourned
at 12:55. Fifty-seven members of the
court, not counting the absentees
were present, including the members
o ftlic court of appeals.
Attorneys for Sulzec this morning
announced that they proposed to pre
sent an objection to the jurisdiction
of the high court and its membership.
It is believed that the exception will
not be sustained but counsel for the
governor expect that ruling on tins
question will enable them to obtain
some idea as to the attitude of the
justices of the court of appeals.
The majority members of the court
decided every question except when
it comes to the formal impeachment
of the defendant, which requires a
two-thirds vote.

sidniiitt'1 to a vote of the people in
