Oct. 6—Two contributions of $10,000 es both pail in cash, were traced into the hands of Willlam Sulzer this afternoon a the impeachment trial. One was paid directly to Sulzer by Ignatius V. McGlone, private secretary to Thomas F. Ryan, after Sulzer Imd phoned to Allan Ryan, sos of the financier, to tell his father "I'm the same old Bill.’” The other was in the shape of a “loan” from Edward P. Meany of Orange, N. J., a New York lawyer, who is counsel for the Bell Telephom Company. The “loan” was made at the request of Sulzer, but no note or security was taken. Allan Ryan declared that’ Sulzer had asked him to go to Washing ton and ask Senator Root to intercede with William Barnes, The pur Pose was to have Barnes call off the Republican Senators in connection with impeachment proceedings. That part of young Ryan’s testimony was stricken out by Judge Cullen, who was sustained by a vote of tht court, 32 to 18. Some of the Republican Senators, notably Senator Brown, are said to be greatly enraged at information that Sulzer had sought to have Barnes influence them. The testimony was the sensation of the afternoon, It overshad owed the opening statement of the defense, made by ex-Senator Hinman It was introduced over strenuous objections by the defense to the re opening of the testimony after the prosecution had closed its case. Hinman said the Sulzer defense woul! produce no evidence or any of the articles of impeachment excepting on those charging larceny of campaign funds and perjury in making a false affidavit of expenses He attacked the State’s case and insisted that nothing criminal had beer proved against Gov.
