Tweea's Examination

NEW YORK, Sept. M.-The investigation of
the operations of the Tweed ring was re.
sumed this evening by the committee OF
Aldermen. Tweed was driven to the City
Hall at Il O'Clock under the impression that
the examination was to begin at that hour
He occupied the interval of time until his
examination opened in looking over the mu.
nieipal records. While he was thus engaged
John Morrissey was wandering around the
corridors and John Fox was in an office near
by.
At O'Clock the members of the committee
took their seats. Tweed took his accustomed
seat and began to read the evidence taken t
the meeting before last, and corrected some
errors found in the stenographers report of
the meeting. The most important was that he
did not mention James OBrien's name as
receiving money in connection with Monheim
and others. Tweed then replied to the in
quiries Of the committee.
