THE MAzET INVESTIGATORS.
Looking Into tho Bonding Interests

Looking Into tho Bonding Interests
of City Employees.
New York, May 19.-The Mazet inu
vestisating committee spent the great.
er part OF yesterday in an attempt to
show the respective bonding interests:
of the city employees held by the so-i
called Freedman and the so-called
Platt Surety company. Counsel Moss
for the committee, after an elaborate
examination into this matter, said that
the significant feature of what has
been shown was the growth Of the
freedman company, the youngest OF
all the bonding companies, during the
past year or two, in the bonding o;
city officials.
Police Commissioners Hess and Abell
were on the stand for a short time
Yesterday. Commissioner Hess agreed
with Counsel Moss in an expression OF
an opinion that facts of q suspicious
nature 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-
tectins the Republican members of the
police force. He, too, agreed that there
was considerable crime in the city Ut
New York. but he failed to furnish
any significant details to aid the COM
mittee.
Sheriff Dunn was on the stand for
brief period, but his counsel was per-
mitted to take his place and to ex
plain the bonding of the officers in the
sheriff's department by the Freedman
COMPANY
