New York, April 15.-Richard Gro
Ker was on the stand Friday before
the Mazet investigating committee.
John +. Carroll, the Tammany leaders
chief deputy, was also put through
course of questioning. Judge j. F.
DAILY, whom the democrats refused to
renominate for justice of the supreme
court last fall, told of his treatment
10y Mr.. Croker and Tammany.
Mr.. Croker gave events a somewhat
dramatic turn when, after refusing to
answer several questions concerning
his private affairs, he held up his right
hand and said impressively: 'If you
can show me where / have taken a
single dollar from this city you can
'cut that arm off, When the Tam

Moss conducted line of questioning
which Mr.. Croker evidently believed
was loss Of time, for he leaned for
ward and said: ''It is not necessary
to bring up what everybody knows.
There is no use playing to the gallery.
