Frederick A. Grein, SO. of Englewood,
was the next witness. He is the insur-
ance solicitor who since he started last
July has written forty-five bus insurance
policies on "a fifty-fifty basis" with
the young firm of Sinnott & Canty, the
senior member of which Is brother of
Mayor Hylan's secretary son-in-law.
Before his examination was begun Mr..
Grein distributed and asked that the
commission file an affidavit prepared
in the office of Frank J. Coyle, 45 Mas
sau street. attorneys for Sinnott s
Canty. In it Mr.. Grein said:
"Your deponent placed practically all
the insurance which he obtained as an
independent broker through Sinnot G
Canty, but as far as your deponent's
understanding with Mr.. Canty was con-
cerned, there was nothing which pro-
h.bited deponent from placing business
through other agencies. The insurance
services rendered by Sinnott & Canty
We're most efficient, and it was for this
reason alone that your deponent cleared
his general business through them.
THE total commissions received by
reason OF the forty-five buses insured
amounted to approximately $1,000, OF
which sum your deponent received ap
proxhnately $500 and Sinnott & Canty
approximately $500.
"rhe first intimation that the firm
OF Sinnott & Canty had as to who the
assured was i'm the various policies was
when deponent had secured the busi-
ness and came to request that the policy
be Issued. At no time did either Mr..
S.nnott or Mr.. Canty suggest to your
deponent the name of any bus owner
nor did they at any time supply any
information as to the issuance by the
city OF permits to bus operators. At no
time did your deponent interest himself
in any angle of the bus situation except
that of insurance. nor did he at any
time obtain or promise to obtain special
consideration or favors OF any kind for
any bus owner or operator insured by
him" FL A.
