The verdict of the court was that

and an attempt to suppress evidence
against him.
Of oil other charges he wan acquitted,
the court today unanimously voting him
not guilty of the four remaining articles
ef impeachment.
Dy a virtually unanimous voto also
file Impeachment tribunal decided that
Bulcer should not be punished by dis
qualification to hold office of' honor and

would have been the extreme penalty un
der the law.

"Oood, 1 thank you," he said to the
aergeant-at-arms of the senate, who de

The outgoing executive Issued a state
intnt In wh,!ch he denounced the tri
bunal which had removed him as ''Mur
phy's high court of Infamy."
"Murphy controlled the assembly and
ordered the Impeachment" he sold. "Ho
controlled most of the members of the
court and dictated procedure and wrote
the judgment He was the judge and
jury; the prosecutor and the bailiff."
Bulzer declared that his trlnl was a
"political lynching as far as the Tarn
Ktanylzed part of the court was con
cerned." Makes General Denial.
He asserted he had not taken the stand
in his own defense because he realized
that his atory Attacking the Tammany
leader would be ruled out
He entered a general dental of all the
charges In the Impeachment articles, de
nted that he had ever asked Allan A.
Ityan to obtain the Influence of Murphy
or Republican Btate Chairman Borneo to
srtop the trial, said the testimony of Henry
MorgenthaU oould be explained: asserted
that every dollar that had been given
him during his campaign had been prop
erly accounted for; that he was 38.000 In
defet; that he had been "faithful to his
treat," and that he "handed back to the
people the commission they gave me un
tarnished and unwilled."
"Had X out served the boss with half
Ute teal I did the sUte, William Bulzer
Would never have been Impeached," he
laid.

closures and prosecutions, 1 became satis
fied that It was useless to present myself
as a witness .because I would not be per
mitted to tell the facts which I consid
ered my best and most efficient means of
clearing my name In court
"I wanted to take the witness stand
In my own behalf-especiatly to tell the
story of my troubles with the 'boss' and
to deny the Peck fabrication; the absurd
story of Allan Ityan and to explain the
Morgcnthau testimony. Dut I was per
suaded not to do so by those who
had In view the real welfare of tho
state; and because of the ruling of the
court regarding testimony of Hennissy
and other witnesses In my behalf, It
was apparent that my story of the
roasons Murphy ordered my Impeachment
would be 'ruled out as inconipent and
Inadmissible. I was further advised
that ns no evidence against me had
bten adduced of 'wilful and corrupt mis-
cenduct In office' that therefore I had
committed no Impcachablo offeneo as
the governor of the state, and hence
cculd not on the evidence before the
court, legally or Justly be removed from
office.
Cnn Testify reck Lied.
"Those familiar with facts can testify
that Peck lied about me to savo his
Job; that Morgenthau was fooled by the
clever ruse of an unscrupulous enemy.
and that Allan Ryan was In Albany sev
eral days under the tutelage of astute
counsel to aid the prosecution at the
ptxholog!cal moment In any way de
sired.
"Suffice It to iay that Allan Ityan
came to sea me; I did not go to see
him and I never asked him or any other
man, to request Senator Itoot or De
tancy Nlcolt to see Mr. Darnes, or Mr
Murphy or anyone else, for that matter,
to do aught for me regarding the trial
These matters were afterthoughts of the
Drosecuttdn to Injure my cause.
"Every dollar given me, which 1 de
posited to my personal account subse
quently was turned over by me to the
commltteo tn my office, or to an agent
of Mr. Murphy, or to the state com
mittee.
"It Is now apparent that stories put
In circulation regarding moneys given
tne when I waa a candidate for governor
were grossly exaggerated, Industriously
circulated and prominently printed tu
prejudice my case before the people.
"I want to tell the publlo the truth
About my financial condition.
'What Balser Owes.
"Before I was a candidate tor the gov
ernorship I was In debt about 170,000 and
had more assets than I have at present
"I owo now as follows:
"U M, Josephtals, 337,000.
"Hugh J. Itellly, 3M.500.
"B. P. Meany, $10,000.
"A. B. Bpriggs, 3S.BC0.
"Ogtlvle and company, 33,000.
"Smaller creditors about 31,000.
"Making a total of 378,600, besides the
cost of my trial.
"I owe no other assets save an equity
In stock In two small mining camps. This
stock has no market value. '
"I had on deposit before my nomination
over 311,000; I have on deposit now not
much more; and that is alt the money
I possess. I am poorer today than I waa
before the fight for the governorship be
gan last fall.
"Had I wanted to make money out of
my campaign I certainly would not have
rejected, as I did, offers of donations
from several cHlstns of upwards of
$100,000 and borrowed the money I did
from Riley and Meany and others. The
court ruled out all testimony concerning
these large aums of money offered to me
by Judge Beardsley and others, and
whloh I declined for good and sufficient
reasons.
Dared to Defy Boas.
"I have fought a good fight against
tremendous odds, for honest government;
I have kept the faith; I have been true
to my official oath; I have stood by the
people; I havo dared to defy Doss Mur
phy, and I dd it in the face of threats
of exposure and personal destruction.
"I am frank to say that I now realize
I should have been more careful In
some matters last fall, but I was so
busy In the campaign that I gave no
heed to details and trusted others, some
of whom have proved treacherous. But
so far as my administration of the gov
ernorship Is concerned, I have no re
grets, as my consclenoe tells me truly
that I have done no wrong, but my
whole duty fearlessly and honestly to
all the people of the state as Ood gave
me the light to see the right
"At some future and more opportune
time I promise to make a further state
ment and I am Inclined to the conclusion
that I would rather express my views
from the platform, where I can took
into the eyes of the pcopto and they can
look Into mine and Judge for themselves
whether I am telling the truth."
Offered Nomination.
A telegram was sent to William Sul

CUt.IKN ADMIMSTKHS OATH
Qlyuu Has no Aspirations to Be
Party Leader.
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct l.-Two features
unique In the history of New York state
marked Lieutenant Governor Martin II.
Olynn's assumption of the office of gov
ernor today. It Is the first occupant of
the executive chamber to reach that po
sition by reason of Impeachment of a
predecessor and he was sworn Into office
by the chief Judge of the court 6f appeals.
It was at the suggestion of Governor
Bulzer that the legislature recently
passed a law conferring upon the chljf
Judge of the court of appeals authority
to administer oaths to public officials.
Judge Cullen, who had voted against the
conviction of Governor Bulzer on every
one of the articles of Impeachment and
who but a few hours before had excused
himself from voting on the question of
his removal from office, administered the
constitutional governor's oath to the new
chief executive.
No Aspirations to Be Leader.
Governor Glynn said to the newspaper
men he had no aspirations to become the
"leader" of the democratic party of the
state.
"I shall be content to be governor," he
said, "I Intend to move slowly and care
fully. I propose to be governor of all
