NiW : YORK , April 21 Two evening ses sion ? of the Mazet Investigating committee were hold today. A feature was the re fusal of ihe witnesses lo glvo testimony. Another feature was the defiant attliudu of Andrew Froedtnan on the stand , and still another feature , the ejection from thi < committee room of Abraham tllmmelwlight of the Hoobllng company , when ho InMstcl upon making n statement after ho had re fused to answer a great majority of ques tions put to him by Mr. Moss , counsel for the committee The chief Interest centered In Andrew- Freedman , who , within recent jcnrs'had1 been known as a warm personal friend ot Mr. Crokor's and associated with him In a business way Mr. Frcodman was more than ordinarily forcible In his answers to some of the questions , nnd many of the ques tions ho refused lo answer at all. At other times ho was rebuked by both Mr. Moss ami Chairman Ma/et for what they toimcd "Impertinence. " After Mr. Froodman's examination had progicsfcd to a certain point nnd the wit ness had refused several times to nnswcr a question which he deemed "a pcisunal matter" Mr. Mosg excused him for the , day. HllllllN Sllltt'tnoilt III -HH-t-l | 1. Ml. Frocdman then got down from thu stand , nnd , tinning to the newspaper rcpre- sentnllves , ho handed Ihom a paper bayIng - Ing : "Gentlemen of the press , hero Is a state ment of the entile business of Mr. Plntt's | companies nnd of all of the companies for publication. " This was a paper iclatlng lethe the business done by Hie United Stales Fldelit ) and Guarantee company , In which Mr. Freedman and Mr. Croker ate Inter ested , and contained Information which Mr. Moss had desiicd to get nt during the course of the examination. Mr MOBS , therefore , was very Indignant nt Frcedmnn's action and ho denounced thu witness vehemently anil recalled him to the stand. The ques tions which ho pul with regard to the paper to Freedman wcio not answered , the witness refusing absolutely to stale by whom Ihe paper had been prepared. Al this Juncture Mr. .Moss took occasion to say that thobo witnesses who weio lu c-intempt would bo dealt with later In a regulai anil logical way. When Mr. Cioker wns on the stand a few iln > b ago he testified that he had lecolved dividends from the company , while today it developed that the company had not paid dividends. Ml Freedman explained on the stand. In icply to a series of questions , that Mr. Cioker is .1 stockholder In the com pany and Is Interested in the business suc- c'ess of the Metropolitan district , that ho , the witness , received a salary of $13,000 a year as manager for this territoiy , and com missions , and that he divided mono with Mr. Crokor. Mr. Freedman , however , re fused to name Ihe sum that he paid to Croker and said further that ho thoughl Mr. Croker might be under the Impression 'that the money paid him was In the way of a dividend. Nearly the entire examination of the wit ness centered about his and , Mr. Crokor's connection with the surety company , which has dealings with a large number of city officials. The witness could not remember exactly how this connection originated , but ho did remember that there was no actual con tract between Mr. CtOker and himself for the payment of the money , Mr. Crokor re lying on Mr. Freedmnn's word , as ho him self put it Abinham Hlmmelw right of the Iloobllng company refused at the very outset o' his examination to answer questions and en tered Into n dlpcusslon at the slightest < > P- poitunlty. After sovcial long wrangles the witness Insisted upon making an explana tion. He wns ordered down from the wit ness stand by Chairman Mn et , hut refused to leave the stand. Then Mr. Moss called for the scrgeant-at-arms and Himmclwrlght was escorted from the room. KlusllillK CIIM Ciniuiiinj'M Altai .

Ho apparently represented Police Captain Price , and was anxious to show that the statements made against that official by Butlner nt a previous hearing were untrue. Mr Mazet said that Mr. Hender son's request would he considered later. Henry M McDonald , the nominee of the Chicago platform democracy for governor at the last state election , was Iho Ilrsl witness. JIo stated that he was a hiwer and lesldcs nt prcseut In MIneinl City , V.a Mr. Moss asked the witness "You have some knowl edge of the nlinlis connected with Ihe FlushIng - Ing Gas company ? " Mr. McDonald said ho had. Ho stated that William 11 Uiirnett , a director of that gas company , was a close associate of hid and that from him ho had learned various facts , Mr. McDonald said the gas company wns reorganised In the beginning of 1898 and that Henry J.

Mr. McDonald bald , the Flushing company endeavored to obtain a contract fiom New York City , under the administra tion of Mayor Van Wyck , but was not suc cessful. Continuing , Mr. McDonald said. " .Finally It wns arranged by Mi.

Thereupon Mr. Freed man was elected n member of the biard of directors.

Mr. Quay himself has been again and again accused of paiflcipatlon In treasury jobbing by the newspapers of. this and other states with clicumstautlal detail. "Herelofore , however , the basis for these accusations laigely consisted of oral testl- nion ) and of allegations by political oppon ents. The cabe which terminated toda ) , un like previous accusations , was founded ex clusively upon documentary proof lu hih own handwiltlng and that of his friends and confederates. The evidence of the guilt did not depend upon the veracit ) of any man or men , but was supported exclusively by his own lettei and by written entiles and statements recorded by big tiustcd friends and supporters. "From the day the prosecution against him was instituted until the verdict was recorded ho has sought by every device to delay and obstruct the efforts of the com monwealth's officers to procme the written evidence of his misdoing and to bring him to tilal for his offenses. The lemoval of the case from the lower court on the eve of the day when It was first dot down for trial by nn cxtrnordlnaiy writ Issued by the su preme court which that touit substantial ! ) dismissed was biitcessfully taking the prosecution away fiom the management of former District Attorney Graham , whose ability , zeal and effectiveness as a prosecutor cuter had hern demonstrated by eighteen jears of service. The same effoits to pre vent a full exposition of his acts as a public official and his connection with the private use of the public money , marked ever ) step in the c.xtiaoidlnai ) line of defense which bin skillful nttoineys adopted during his tiial In resisting the /calous and able efforts of District Attorney Tlothermel to Introduce all the Inculpating evidence In pos session of the cninmonwcilth. Ily technical objection ho excluded the evidence offered to show that during his term as state treas urer he wns i aid Interest on stnto deposits nnd also the receipt of Interest b > subse quent treasures ! charged In the bill of In dictment as being conspirators with him In crlmo and finally fulled to take the stand In his own defense and submit himself to cross-examination upon tlio charges made The 'Hod Hook , ' kept by his trusted friend Mr. Hopkins , nnd which set out the story of treasury coiruptlons , was overwhelmingly corroborated nnd Its veracity establlKhcd by the trstlmon ) and admission of his friend , Mngee , and by the signature of his friend and confidant , I ) . J. Hay wood. Notwith standing all this proof , emanating exclu sively from the lips and the pens nf him self and his closest friends , nnd In the face of his own silence nnd failure to testify to his Innocence , ho wns acquitted. "This Is a new chapter of shame for rennsylvanla. a now record of failure In the administration of Justlco that will do much to encourage conuptlonlstH and public plun derers generally throughout the country. The first shout of defiant exultation over his acquittal had proceeded from the gov ernor of the commonwealth , who hail promptly appointed him a United Stales sen ator without authority , in violation of the law , nnd in defiance of the will of the people as expressed by the votes of the legislature It Is fitting In every way that the capstone should have thus been put upon the edifice of boss rule nnd in.ichlno Jobbery by the Quay representative In the governor's chair "Quay has got his technical verdict , bill Iho trial of corruption and plunderers will still go on " I'CMIOSi : S\\S IT'S ( illKlT VH'TOIIV.
