New York, Dec. 30.-Louis F. Payn
and J. Rider Cady, who was employed
at times as counsel by Mr.. Payn while
the latter was state superintendent of
insurance, were the witnesses yester-
day before the insurance Investigating
committee who furnished practically
all of the interesting testimony, not
withstanding the fact that more wit
nesses were examined than on any
day since the investigation began.
District Attorney Jerome yesterday
received copy of all the evidence
thus far submitted to the insurance
Investigating committee. There are
numerous volumes.

his testimony interrupted by adjourn
ment Wednesday, and in reply to one
of the first questions asked him en-
phatically denied the report that he
had received $4,000 from the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance company and
had allowed the company to write it's
own report of an investigation which
Mr.. Payn had caused to be made in
1899. Mr.. Payn characterized the re-
port as absolutely false in every par
ocular. and said it grew out of a fight
between James D. Wells. former vice
president of the Mutual Reserve, and
President Burnham of the same COM
pany.
Refuses Retainer.
Judge, Cady was brought into the
Investigation by reason of his having
appeared before Mr.. Payn in the in
terests of Prussian insurance compa-
MES seeking admission to the state.
This application was denied by Mr..
Payn, but two years later was granted.
President McCurdy. of the Mutual
Life Insurance company, had asked
that this permission be held up until
he could see Mr.. Payn. This request
was refused, but Mr.. Payn had Judge
Cady call upon Mr.. McCurdy.
Mr.. Hughes asked if Mr.. McCurdy
said the Mutual Life, swould pay any
money for contrary decision. Judge
Cady said he did not, but that Mr.. Nc
Curdy offered him retainer in be-
half OF the mutual life, which he re-
