POOLROONS UNDER FIRE
Alleged King of the Business Tcstifics
Before Mazetters.
ANSWERS FEW QUESTIONS.
Undertaken Wyndham Lynn Says
That His Former Employer Has
Enjoyed Monopoly of Bury
ing Harlem Hospital Dead.

New York, May 2O.--James Mahoney
who is said to have combined 30 per
| cent Of the poolrooms in New York city
! into trust, was a witness before the
Mazet investigating committee. The
quiet, gray bearded man, who is report
ed to be the poolroom king, was in bet
| ter humor than he was when Mr.. Moss
put him on the stand Wednesday, but
he was no more disposed to answer
questions about the big poolroom trust,
He declined to answer" from start to
finish, except where the question was
of the most trivial kind. He would not
answer a single question that touched
his connection with poorooms.
Mr.. Mahoney admitted that he had
never sued the New York Herald, which
had published a page article about his
alleged vast system of poolrooms and
| had characterized him as the poolroom
king.
NO. l never sued the paper. 1t made
me a king, didn't it?" Mr.. Mahoney
said
He was in splendid humor, and he
and Mr.. Moss had frequent laughs to-
gether.
Mr.. Mahoney is picturesque charac-
ter, who may be described as gray
man. His hair is gray, his beard is gray,
his eyes are gray, and his complexion
even is gray. He is of spare figure, with
thin, gray beard, which he strokes
while he is testifying, and his gray eye
Is wonderfully calm and steady.
An UndertuI<er's Testimony.
Wyndham Lynn was the next wit
ness. He said that he was an under
taker and was formerly employed by
James p. Marren, an undertaken in Sec
ond avenue In reply to questions by
Mr.. Moss, Lynn said that Marren had
for years had a monopoly of the bury
ing of dead bodies from the Harlem
hospital.
The witness said that Marren was a
member of Tammany Hall and claimed
to be friendly with John F. Carroll and
DR. Schultz of the department of chart
ties. He said that he had heard Marren
say he had to pay money to DR.. Schultz.
Lynn said that he had managed the
business for Marren and had a power
of attorney from his employer. He then
explained that they had an arrange
ment by which the clerks in the Har-
lem hospital would notify them Of
deaths De1Ofe the deaths We're reported
to Bellevue, Witness said that the
rules We're that in a case of death at
the hospital Bellevue should be notified
so the relatives of the dead person could
take charge of the body. Under the ar
rangement between Marren and Schultz,
the witness said, clerks in the Harlem
hospital would notify the undertaken in
time for him to get the body before the
report got to Bellevue, Lynn said that
Marren paid SO to the clerks for every
case.
Witness said he had paid the money
himself in % cases and that the pay
ments We're outlined in Marrens books.
Mr., Moss ordered one of his assistants
to make out a subpoena at once for Mr..
Marren to appear forthwith and pro-
duce his books
