the board of assessors. he is, re- ported to have received about $500 more than his regular salary yearly. This payment was reported to be for special services in revaluation of all properties in the city of Waterbury, in connection with a survey ordered by the administration.
 Levy's Stay Brief
 Briefest of all the witnesses was Jacob Levy, who is reported to have been a familiar figure during past sessions of the general assembly. He remained on the top floor of the court house less than IS minutes.
 MT. Olsen appeared shortly after MT. Levy departed.
 Purchasing Agent Dunn has been affiliated with the affairs of the controllers office for a period which ante-dates the office of Controller Leary. MT. Mackenzie's appearance was his third since the probe opened. His previous appearances have been on March g and 23. In view of the action taken by the jury with regard to the Fair Trades Act yesterday, it was matter of supposition that Mackenzie would be recalled soon.
 Peck Not Here
 Attorney Josiah Peck, who has appeared as counsel for former Controller Daniel J. Leary since the outset of the grand jury probe, de- nied from his Hartford office that he was visitor in Waterbury to- day. He said he had not been to Waterbury in two weeks, and that he had no definite intentions at the present to come here.
 He admitted that in the event Controller Leary is subpoenaed, he would be notified.
 Fair Trade Act
 With the appearances yesterday of Hugh P. Beirne of New Haven, and Felix Blanc of Hartford, both of- ficials of the state pharmacy commits sion, and both supporters of the fair tdade act which was passed in the 1897 general assembly, there was not semblance of doubt that the fair trade act was the subject of discussion and inquisition by the grand jury.
 The fair trade act was designed to eliminate cut-throat competition and price-cutting among liquor and patent medicine dealers. It was backed by the Connecticut Pharma- ceutical association, of which Will liam J. Dunphy is president.
 Alcorn Opposed It
 Hugh Mead Alcorn, Jr., a repre- s-ntative from Suffield in the 1887 assembly, bitterly opposed passage of the bill. In his opposition dis courses he charged that a $20,00O slush fund had been raised to aid passage of the bill.
 Representative Daniel F. B. Hickey of Stamford was recalled yesterday for his second appearance. In surprise move, the investigators also called on his secretary, who was identified as Miss Marion McRed- mond of Stamford. Another former representative, Chauncey E. Hutch ings of Harwinton was also a wit ness yesterday.
 Levy Retains Counsel
 It also developed yesterday that Edward G. Levy of New Haven, who has been a constant witness, un- doubtedly explaining the reason fcr the nearly $10000O" he received from the city, has retained lawyer. The lawyer is William L. Hadden of West Haven, former judge of the town court there. He appeared at the county building yesterday with MT. Levy. He also appeared late in the evening with an unidentified man, who has no connection with the probe.
 Attorney Charles Williamson of Bridgeport was the only other witt ness called during yesterdays ses- sion. Attorney Williamson yester- day resigned from the law firm of Williamson, Willis, Lister & Foster of Bridgeport, to save his colleagues from embarrassment until he clears himself of charges"
 Close Friends MT. Blanc of the pharmacy com- mission is a close friend of Attor- ney Williamson, and also of Harry E. Mackenzie of Bethel. They were freuently at his office in the capitol during the past general assembly.
 Former Rep. Hutchings was also a frequent visitor at the capitol dur ing the past assembly, although he had no official connection. AS he left the court yesterday he said he was awaiting recall.
