Croker y Again Go Before Mazet cemmissloH
-Deiies Mazet 10 Take Stand.

New York, Nov 2.-The plan of the
Mazet Investigating committee to adj
journ, this afternoon, until after cleo
tiOn was upset by the appearance of
Richard Croker, who demanded that he
be permitted to give further testimony.
Committeeman Hoffman urged that
Mr.. Croker be permitted to take the
stand at once, hut Counsel Moss insist
ed that no such privilege be allowed
him and Chairman MaZet decided to
have an extra session, tomorrow, so
that the Tammany chieftain could take
the stand
In the light of Mr.. Crokers utter
ances denOuncing Mr.. MaZet there was
every reason to believe that his state
ment on the stand would demand an
answer and there was no time for that,
today.
When Mr. Moss was asked at the
conclusion of the session, today, If he
proposed cross-examining Mr.. Croker
on the lines of his former examination,
he declined to answer, but intimated
that there was no chance of Mr.. Croker
being permitted to make his statement
and then leave the courtroom.
The testimony before the committee,
oday, was mainly in reference to de-
lays in the prosecution by the district
attorneys Office of cases in the courts.
Mr.. Croker, at Tammany Hall, to-
day, challenged Assemblyman Mazet
TO go on the stand before the MaZet in
vestigating committee and swear to
what he said about Mr.. Cookers try
ing to sell Asterdam stock to the Con-
solidated Gas Co. in exchange for DEM
ocratic support of the Astoria Gas
bill.
II never owned any Consolidated
Gas stock in my life said Mr.. Croker
Il testified about my stock before the
Mazet committee and l am willing to
testify again. l never offered my Am
sterdam stock to anybody. | never
made a cent on what / had. MaZet
does not dare to go on the stand and
swear to what he says. Tell him for
me that the witness chair is only six
feet away from where he sits. Let him
go on the stand and tell what he
knows or else bring the man he talks
about. Say for me that | challenge
him to swear to what he says. He does
not dare do it."

Magistrate HarmsWorth has arrived

Kimberley were satisfied and could
hold out, but were wearied with the in
activity and hoped that relieving

Stories of Boer victories have spread
