Albany, Sept. 24. At the impeach
t hearing of Governor Sulzer today
It was decided to postpone a ruling on
the legality of the impeachment arti-
' Attorney Richards, opening for the
prosecution, after the decision had been
ntrhctl to delay a ruling on the legal
ity of the impeachment articles, 4e
iMiieecl Sidser in the most violent lan
guage. "He employed bag men to scour the
state for contributions to his campaign
tod," declared Richards, "and he had
ibag himself open to $10,000 as woll as
to 2 contributions. He did more than
olleet funds. He intended to keep
them to buy stocks and to Bupply mar
tini for his stock speculations."
Then the attorney reviewed the
charges against Sulzer, recapitulating
them and attacking the governor per
sonally.
"As high as Mb office and as high
u his position," he shouted, "we are
prepared to prove low, sordid crimos
aeainst William Sulzer. Hib cmei oi-
looses wero plain fraud, larceny ana
perjury."
Defense's Argument.
"The suggestion that an offcial can
be held answerable for acts prior to his
Msumption of office is revolutionary
and unheard of," said Attorney Fox,
of the defense "I am loath to believo
that this court will approve such a doc
trine."
Then he quoted Judge Parker's argu
ment that the constitutional commission
ot 1818 removed all limitations on the
state senate's power of impeachment.
"If this be true," he added, "then the
limitations in the present criminal code
operate in tho present case."
Fox's argument was the strongest yet
made, since the impeachment trial be
gan, and the most eloquent.
When Fox had finished, Chief Justice
t'ullcn said that in his opinion tho ques
tions raised were such that they could
not be decided off hand, and he sug-
gcil delay. Senator Wagner moved
to postpone action, and Ilia suggestion
as adopted.
Attorney I). Cady Horrick then filed
liter's answer. It denied all the alle
gations except that Sulzer admitted ro-
"ivink campaign contributions, saying
accepted them in good faith. Attor-
Richards, then spoke.
To Produce Telegrams.
"be managers of the impeachment
P'ocecdinijs have subpoenaed tho mana
8e' of the local telegraph offices to

ney and James Garrison during Juno

Kovack and and William Acker were
shot dead and Coulson 'a common law

While she was in the midst of making
preparations to join her husband, Mrs,

Before granting the plaintiff a di

Husky Wttn Bags.
His face purple, hiB brow covered
with perspiration and bis voice husky
with rage, the major bad to read the
entire poem to a crowded courtroom to
day at the trial of Captain Merriam 's
divorce suit against his wife, whom ha
accuses among other things, of indis-
retions with Major Murphy.
The major did so well under direct
examination by Mrs. M or nam's lawyer
yeBtorday that Mrs. Merriam exclaimed
to him, "you did fine," as he left the
stand.
Attorney Linforth, for Captain Mer
riam started on his cross-examination
today, however, with the avowod in
tention of "raffling the major's
bangs," and to some extent, ho succeeded.
The reading of the witness' poem
threw the court room into such parox
ysm! of mirth that Jml;o Graham, him
self on the broad grin, could not restore
order for somo time, and laughing sug
gested that the major take his lyric to
the Orphoum. 1
The dapper but wrathful major final
ly reached a point whora he could con
tain himsolf no louger, and exclaimed,
regardless of court etiquette:
I have been brought here under
falso pretenses and ought to be allowed
to protest. I was in Paris when I re
ceived word that I had been named as
co-respondent iu this case, and I came
all the way across an ocean and a con
tinent to dofohd the good name of this
woman and myself ouly to bo made
gumo of. So I wish to make a state
ment, ' ' '
Linforth wouldn't consent, however,
and, apparently against his will, Judge
Graham, who looked as if he would
have liked to hoar what the major hail
to say, was obliged to refer him to the
newspapers.
Asido from annoying the major, Lin
forth accomplished nothing. His po
oms were tho worst offonso tho witness
would admit. As for his relations with
Mrs, Merriam, ho declared emphatical
ly, and with every appearance of truth,
that they wore porfoctly innocent.
