writ of prohibition, restraining the
board from issuing the license, return

investigating the hel0LiOu0 OF City.
Officials With the Firm Of Grant
and Ward.
NEW York, Oct. 15-The senate
investigating committee met again to-
day. Comptroller Grant was on the
stand. Concerning his connection
with Ferdinand Ward, the witness
said that he had numerous relations
with Ward in a period of ten
years, and was indebted for a
time covering his firm as comptroller.
The witness refused to state the ma
ture of this Indebtedness, saying that
it was his private business. He said
he had business transactions with
Grant & Ward in regard to contracts.
Ward was a bondsman for him as
comptroller, as was also James
d. Fish, of the Marine bank. He
said that the deposit in the Marine
bank might have been an unusual one,
still he had nothing to do with it, all
the deposits being made by the city
chamberlain. His business relations
with Ward were still pending.
When a large number of city bonds
were offered for sale outsiders were
not refused the purchase of them, nor
were they afterwards secured by
Grant & Ward. 1t was not through
the witness personal influence that
Grant & Ward secured these bonds. It
was not the custom Of the
witness to notify the firm of Grant s.
Ward of the application made by
other firms for city bonds. A few
days before the failure of the Marine
bank witness became alarmed in re-
gard to the safety Of the bank, because
Ward had requested him to increase
the deposit in that bank. Witness
consulted Mayor Grace, and $50 900
was withdrawn. The city chamberlin
drew the warrants for this amount
and they passed through witness
hands for endorsement.
Isaac S. Barrett, chief bookkeeper in
the c%omptroller's Office, was recalled.
He said that on three occa-
sions he called Comptroller Grants
attention to the large amount of
money on deposit in the Marine bank.
Mr.. Grant denied that Barrett
spoke to him about deposits.
