the .superintendent h attorneys Tues
day. Solicitor Dorsey failed to gei
the answers he desired from the wit
ness Philip Chambers, a 15-year-old
office boy, but Attorney Arnold moved
that all of the testimony bearing on
this matter be ruled out although the
t»o\ had testified favorabl\ to Fiank.
The lawyer threatened that he
w<»uld move for a mistrial if any fur
ther effTort were made to introduce
testimony of the sort which he brand-
ed as irrelevant arid immaterial, as
well as being defamatory slanderous
and highly prejudicial. He was sus
tained in his objection
The defense had progressed ronsiu-
•i ably in establishing w hat it pro
poses to make an Iron-clad alibi for
Prank on the day of the murder when
court adjourned Tuesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Sell#. Prank’s
pa i em*-*in - la v\. with whom he lives
both testified that Prank arrived home
Saturday' afternoon for luncheon a 1
1.20 o'clock Minola McKnight, ne
gro cook, swore to the same state
ment This would have made It Im
possible according to the contention
of the defense for Frank to have had
any part in the crime.as it I* described
by the negro. Jim Conley.
Defense Holds Time
Was Insufficient.
Allowing ten minutes foi Frank to
oatch a car snd get home, this would
have necessitated Frank leaving the
factory at 1:10 o'clock. Conley said it
was four minutes before 1 o'clock
when he got the cloth in which to
wrap the body of Mary Phagan and
carry it to the front of the factory
and down the elevator. This gives
but fourteen minutes for the disposal
of the body, the writing of the four
notes, two of which were found by
the body, and everything else that
took place before Frank left for home,
according to Conley.
The defense maintains that it would
have been absolutely Impossible for
Frank to have accomplished all this
in the short space of time. The ne
gro’s own estimate of the time re
quired to take the body downstairs
and return to the ofTlce floor is five
minutes The defense brands this an
absurdity. After this Frank washed
his hands and told Conley to come
into his office, according to the negro
This must have taken until 1:05. at
least. Frank's lawyers will assert.
From experiments they have made In
the factory they may declare that it
would require even longer.
Conley said thAt after he got in the
office some one approached and Frank
locked him in a closet. He was in
there seven or eight minutes, he testi
fy, bringing the time to 1:12 or 1:13.
y%fter this there was yet the note
to write. Conley said that he wrote
them in a minute and a half or two
minutes, but Harry Scott, Pinkerton
detective, testified that it required
the negro six or seven minutes to
wirte one note dictated word by
word. Assuming that Conley requir
ed only half the minnimum time des
ignated by Scott, It would have tak
en him twelve minutes to write the
four notes at Frank's dictation,
bringing the time to 1:25.
The writing was not continuous,
as Conley said Frank interrupted him
to make some erasures. He also said
there was considerable conversation
about Frank’s wealthy folks in
Brooklyn, about burning the body of
the murdered girl, and other sub
jects. Conley also said that Frank
gave him a roil of bills and then took
them back

minutes, bringing the I
time to 1;.80—ten minutesa fter Frank
arrived home, according to the alibi
set up by tlie defense and at the
same time h* arrived home by the.
testimonx of one of the states own
witnesses. Albert McKnight.
Solicitor Dorsey sought to impeach
I both Mi and Mrs. Selig by compar
ing their testimony with that they
gave before the coroner's Jury. He
' found *dl«' repandas which the wit-
1 nesses laid to lapse of memory or to
(mistakes made at the inquest
Mrs. Seiig. for example, testified at
j i he inquest that Frank wore the same
suit of clothes Saturday. Sunday and
Monday She admitted to the *oli-
citof* that .•♦lie was mistaken.
The detective* were given a tor-
j i u re-chamber reputation by Minola
McKnight, the negro cook at the He
lix home. The McKnight woman
signed an affidavit telling of conver
sations she overheard that were ex
tremely damaging to Frank.
When she got on the stand Tues
day she declared vehemently that the
statements in the affidavit were all a
“pack of lies," which she said were
invented by her husband, Albert Mc
Knight.
She wore, to the amusement of the
spectators, that the detectives took
her to the police station in the "cots-
trol wagon" and that they threatened
to keep her in jail if she did not sign
the papers.
"Ah signed ’em to keep out of Jail.
Ah’d do mos’ anything to keep out of
jail." she said
Dalton’s Chaing-ang
Record Exposed.
Other Important developments of
the day were th«» showing up of the
court and chaingang record and repu
tation of C. B. Dalton, the witness
who swore women frequently were in j
Frank’s office; the announcement by !
the Fxtate of its theory that Frank
planned the attack on Mary Phagan
the day before it took place, and the
testimony of Miss Hattie Hall and
Miss Magnolia Kennedy, which was
Intended to show that this theory was
untenable.
Attorney Frank Hooper declared It
as the opinion of the State that tfce
pay envelope of Mary Thagan was
refused Helen Ferguson Friday night
and that it was refused for the delib
erate purpose of getting the Phagan
girl to the factory the next day.
Magnolia Kenned*/ testified that she
was with Helen Ferguson when she
drew her pay and that the girl did
not ask for Mary Phagan’s pay.
Miss Hall asserted that P'rank tried
to get her to work for him Saturday
afternoon and also asked Harry Oott-
hejmer. a Montag Brothers salesman,
to come over in the afternoon to talk
over some business matters, indicat
ing that he had planned no crime or
wrongdoing of any sort for that after
noon.

lone Progressive, made spirited
fight, hut the antagonists were strong
in numbers and logic and were able
to prevail.
While the all-night battle raged
Governor Sulzer remained alone in
the the executive mansion, “the peo
ple’s house," as he called it, refusing
to see any one or to be seen. Com
forted only by his wife he remained
in lonely vigil until after dawn, when
a messenger Informed him that he
had been impeached. Tears streamed
down the Governor’s face when he
heard the news.
Governor Sulzer will be tried by the
Senate and a majority of the Judges
of the State Court of Appeals, the
evidence being presented against him
by managers appointed by the Assem
bly.
Directly after the vote had been
taken In the Assembly, Speaker
Smith appointed Assemblymen Van-
Woert. Cole and Bradley to inform
the Senate officially of the impeach
ment.
Speaker Smith announced also that
no time would be lost in preparing the
articles of impeachment for presen
tation to the court, but Mr. Sulzer
has twenty days in which to prepan*
his defense.
Shunned in Hour of Trial.
The articles of impeachment will
be drawn up by Aseembleymen Levy
of New York. Deitz or Brooklyn, Kel
ly of Dutchess County, Daley of
Onondaga County and Bryant of
Genesee County Mr. Bryant is a Re
publican; the others are Democrats.
After this committee had been ap
pointed there was a conference in the
office of Senator Frawley, chairman
of the committee which investigated
the Governor. Efforts to get word
from Mr. Sulzer. however, were un
availing. In the darkened executive
chambers Mr. Sulzer restlessly paced
up and down. One wild report was
circulated that he would go in person
before the Assembly and plead his
own case before a vote was taken;
another rumor had it that he would
make overtures to his political ene
mies. All were wrong.
The Governor waited developments
anxiously and impatiently. He made
a forlorn figure. Just a short time
ago his favor was courted by all. but
when the tide of politics began to
against him he was deserted. Oni.v
his wife gave him comfort. Eve.i
friends of his own political party
shunned him.
History of an unprecedented nature
was made, for never before has a Gov
ernor of this State been Impeached.
Snore* Punctuate Oratory.
The debate which led up to the
vote was marked by a dramatic fea
ture. but even fiery oratory could not
keep awake the spectators who filled
the galleries. The most interested
w ere the women, who remained awake
until the final roll call. A number of
the men slept in their chairs and a
buzz of snores proclaimed the supe
riority of slumber over forensic.
Majority Leader Levy made the final
address before the vote was taken
and he blended eloquence with facts
In a convincing manner. Mr. Levy
read h great part of the testimony
taken by the Frawley committee be
fore he declared in solemn tones that,
in his mind. William Sulzer should
be impeached in the name of the com
monwealth and common honor."
Mr Levy denied that the impeach
ment proceedings were being rushed
bv Tammany leaders, declaring that
under the Constitution the impeach
ment court can not sit until 30 days
have Hapsed.
Assembly Schah, a Progressive who
has been supporting the Governor’s
direct primary bill, supported Mr. Sul
zer in a speech.
No Work for Police Guard.
It was expected that there would be
a demonstration and police were on
hand to quell disorder, but nothing of
an exciting nature occurred.
Eugene Lamb Richards, counsel fot
the Frawley committee, will prol>a-
bly appear against Mr. Sulzer in
court owing to his familiarity with
'the case.
There was practically nothing do
ing during the hours before noon, as
nearly all the legislators were in bed.
Opponents of the Governor were busy,
however, and Mr. Sulzer was severely
criticised for his reported acquies
cence to his wife’s declaration that
she was unwittingly responsible for
the Wall Street speculation charges.
"He should not try to hide behind
petticoats to save his political face ”
said they.
Tammany’s Hand Is Seen.
Friends of the impeached Governor
are deeply distressed to-day over the
action of the assembly. They still
maintain that politics of a Tammany
taint is rampant in the legislative
halls. They go so far z.o 1%, predict
that Acting Governor Glynn, who is
now the rightful occupant of the ex
ecutive chamber, will be given full op
portunity to decapitate appointments
made by the Governor, in that it is
expected that no impeachment pro
ceedings will be started until late in
October, which is the limit of time
provided for in the Constitution when
the Impeachment trial through the
court of impeachment must be insti
tuted.
These friends of the Governor find
solace in the fart that in addition to
the 76 votes necessary to impeach,
Tammany could muster but three ad
ditional votes. They point out that
fourteen Republicans voted to sustain
the Governor and feel that if was
rock-ribbed political tactics which
forced those who voted favorably on
the impeachment resolution to do so.
No arguments sufficiently strong
enough to sustain the charge of the
Frawley committee were made on the
floor, they declare that Governor Sul
zer will fight hack through the me
dium of exposures of prominent Tam
many legislators who so far have been
successful in the first round to ac
complish his downfall, is also strong
ly hinted at.
The impeached Governor will have
plenty of time to dig up damaging
evidence, they declare, and will do
his utmost to bring calumny home to
those whom he has heretofore more
than hinted were grafters, who must
be driven out of the party.
More Scandal is Promised.
It is not believed that the impeach
ed Governor will be forced to vacate
the Executive mansion although he
may feel in honor bound to do so.
Acting Governor Glynn has a home
of his own in one of the most ex
elusive thoroughfares in the city and
a summer home ot Cedar Hill.
That the knotty tangle which the
Demooratsnow find themselves in
was due to the uncompromising atti
tude of Governor Sulzer was claimed
by organization Democrats. They
declare that Governor Sulzer frowned
on all attehpts made hv the leaders
“to get together’’ and that they had
to “get him." that it was known that
Sulzer had a checkered past, in spite
of his continued dleerations that he
“was walking the street called
strai." All sorts of "I told you so’*”
were forthcoming from Democratic
legislators and whispers of more un
complimentary pages of the Gover
nor's life found utterance.
A prominent Democvratic member
said that the Frawley committee had
in reserve a mass of evidence which,
if used, would create more scandal of
which the Governor wiuld be the vic
tim This material maybe brought
out during the future sessions of the
Frawley committee.

decided to commit suicide. He asked
that his body be given to a medical
college for an examinatoin of his
brain. In this note he gave his name
and address.
On the other side of the paper was
a note in which he declared that, if

height, well cut features and hair
tinged with gray. He was roughly
dressed.

Several Fees Drop Fight.
Several members who voted against
the tax bill declared Wednesday
morning that In view of their friendr
ship tor the administration they will
not support a motion to reconsider,
even though it come from Sheppard
and Stovall, recognized leaders of the
ar rax reformers in the House.
It took singing, much srgument, si
wild ride to the Capitol in an auto-i
mobile, a deciding vote by the Speak.;
er arid one of Bd Wohlwender'e noted
filibusters to paaa the bill, but after)
three hours’ hard work, in whieft
every foot of the march to success*
was a battle. It was finally done.
Bob Blackburn, of Fulton, led th’*j
singing that put courage into
hearts of the tax reformers: Hendery
son of Jones made the wild ride tali
the Capitol and cast the tying vote at
the last moment, and then Speaker
Burwell stepped into the breach and
saved the bill by casting the vote the*
broke the tie and made the bill a law.
Sheppard, of Sumter, denounced the
measure declaring that it is uncon
stitutional, and Stovall, of Elbert, de
livered an equally strong speech
against the bill. McCrory, of Schley
County, and Conner, of Spalding, aiso
denounced it. Among those who
spoke in favor of it were Wimberly,
of Bibb: Jones of Coweta: Swift,
of Muscogee: Fullbright, of Burke,
and Greene, of Houseton.
At 5 o’clock Holtzeiaw, of Hous
ton, called the previous question, and
at 5:15 the roll call began on the
measure. The closeness of the vote
was apparent before half a dosen
names were called. The vote see
