FREEDMAN'S BONDS
Seem to Be at a Premium in
New York City.
Mazet Committee Inquiries Into Bond
ing System Of City Employees.
Sheriff Dunn on Stand.

New York. May 1S.-The session Of
the MaZet investigation, today, was an
uninteresting one, the greater part of
the day being occupied in an attempt
to show the respective bonding inter
ests of city employees held by the so
called Freedman and the so-called
Pldtt Surety Cos. Counsel Moss for the
committee. after an Ella borate examina-
ton into this matter, said that the
significant feature of what had been
shown was the growth Of the Freed
man Co., the youngest of all the bond
ing companies, during the past year
or two. in the bonding of city officials
Police Commissioners Hess and Abel
were on the stand for a short time, to-
day, but they did not contribute any
material evidence against the various
departments being Investigated. Com
missioner Hess merely agreed with
Counsel Moss in an expression of an
opinion that facts of a suspicious ma
ture had been presented before the
committee. Commissioner Abel stated
that he had accepted the position of
commissioner with view to first per-
forming his duty and. second to pro-
tecting the Republican members Of the
police force. He. too agreed that there
was considerable crime in the city of
New York, but in this evidence he
failed to furnish any significant de-
tails to aid the committee.
Sheriff Dunn was on the stand for a
brief period but his counsel was per
mitted to take his place and to explain
the bonding of the officers in the sher-
ifs department by the Freedman co.
The committee will meet. tomorrow
morning, and at the close of the ses-
sion will adjourn until May 81.

Police Commissioner Hess who testi-
| fed at the close of yesterdays session,
was called again. this morning and Mr.
| Moss commenced the examination.
Mr.. Hess said he was a stakeholder
in the Anchor Brewing Co. at Dobbs
Ferry. He did not know that that
company sold beer to any resorts in
the Tenderloin.
Mr.. Hess said that the captains
unanimously reported their precincts
free of crime and vice had caused some
suspicion in his mind. In short he ad-
mitted that he suspected the captains
were lying in their reports" He said
he had been very much impressed by
the testimony regarding pool rooms
produced by Mr.. Moss yesterday. He
concluded that it had shown that there
was inefficiency in the police depart
ment in the captains. principally, in the
inspectors to a lesser degree and per-
haps ii constituted reflection upon
the chief.
Following up this line Mr. Moss
asked: What do you concade to be
your duty with regard to the chief and
the other subordinate officials Of the
department."
Mr.. Hess answered: ITO Immediately
start an investigation" Mr. Moss
brought out the fact that when Chief
Deverey was on the stand before the
committee about a month ago the list
of pool rooms, most of which were re
ferred to yesterday, was placed in his
hands.
Mr. Hess testified that he applied for
his bonds as commissioner to the
Fidelity Co. of Maryland. Mr.. Platt's
company" the witness explained. At
first they said they were glad to take
him, but afterward refused him. Then
he was admitted in the United States
Guarantee Co., Mr.. Freedmans COM
pany. 1t is in this concern that Rich
ard Croker admitted he is also inter-
ested. Mr.. Hess said he got reduc-
ton in bonding rates because Mr.
Freedman was an Old friend.
Mr.. Hess testified that as treasurer
of the police board he had divided the
deposits of the pension fund, amount
ing to about 100000, between the
Bowery National and Garfield Ma
tional Banks. 1t formerly was all in
the Bowery concern. He finally adj
mitted that Commissioner Sexton
might have first suggested the change
Mr.. Moss asked if it We're not a fact
that in all the banks holding police
money the employees We're bonded in
Mr.. Freedman's company. Mr.. Hess
knew nothing about this.
