It would 'be impossible for ic to cast a reflection upon him." Hughes replied: "I have trica to Mr. McCurdy an abundant oppor- to tell everything he knows about business, and, if he does not realize fact, I do' not know what I can tell further." I his point Mr. Armstrong intervened, las occurred to this committee that tins and the witness aro entitled to make Lllest and the best possible suggestion. lit there may bo no divergence from a ind full examination of the subjects we are here to examine. This witness ?s hta attitude by his own declaration numofle in stating how much he would r of the Inquiries made, because ot the that this committee was an inquisition Icaa conducting an unfair Inquiry, and remarks.

If you have any suggestion to make it to Mr. Hughca privately. If time you don't think he is treating you the committee will protect you or any Inder your charce. Hughes Defends Course. Hughes said the record would show. 2Xtreme courtesy and fairness wfth the examination has been conduct- lnd said: have erred at all In my duty to the tlttee It has been by my showing cour- on many different occasions when tho Instances Justified other measures. I have and again avoided my own natural in- lon to make retorts which I think would been entirely Justified. The witness who I himself Into a false position has himself to blame. Every one everywhere Tcnowo I he will e-er be treated as he deserves treated, and only as he deserves to "be I'd, and evasion will always be held up le contempt it has always received. Mr. Hughes concluded there was applause, which Mr. Armstrong re- id with a threat to clear tho room on kurrence of such a manifestation of n-al or disapproval. McCurdy then spoke in a very com- ?ntary way of Mr. Hughes' conduct le case, saying: esiro to concur In the remarks made by Hughes and to say that his conduct of the his self-restraint on various occasions. Ive noted lth much admiration, not to gratitude Those remarks I entirely con- and I think entirely Justify Mr. Hughes' le in the examination of the witnesses so Is I have observed. I also concur In his generally, thoroughly, and I hopo the lie may now be considered as terminated. McCurdy Pays Full Rent, examination of Mr. McCurdv belnir led. he said that he paid about $4000 ar for his apartments at the o iand that he held an annual !; nn i, although he occupied the rooms for a few weeKs each winter. He snirf Cease expired last July, and that he lot propose to renew it He said he lot jret the apartments at tht Rne. lr anv pliearer than other tnnnnt. d be changed for them. I. McCurdy then made a personal ex- itlon. He declared that he would re- It as an asDcrsIon on his nKnnni lity to suppose he would take ad- lage of his official position to obtain I ana lodging ior nimsen and family per than anybody else. Mr. McCurdy id that any of the sum of money, said e $200,000, paid to Joseph C. Hendrlx ho retired from wao presidency oi the National Bank of Commerce, was paid by the Mutual Late. The bank paid it, he said. Mr. McCurdy denied that money was loaned to certain brokers below the mar ket rate. Plunkltt was next called. A vouchor1 acknowledging the receipt of $901 "for legal expenses to February, 1SCC." which was signed by the name of "George- J. Plunkltt." and Indorsed for payment by A, C. Fields, was shown to the witness and he was asked If the signature was his. He said It was not his. At tho re quest of Mr. Hughes ho then wrote his name for purposes of comparison, and both signatures were offered In evidence. Mr. Hughes called the attention of tho committee to the similarity of the two signatures. Plunkltt said that he had never had $901 for any purpose. At the close of Plunkltt's testimony the sergcant-at-arms of ho executive committee was directed to communicate with the Dis trict Attorney's office. Shortly afterward Assistant District Attorney Rand ap peared, conferred with Mr. Armstrong and left tho room. Hogcrs Can't Remember. Edgar W. Rogers, president of the Globe Printing Company, was then called. Rog ers testified that his position was nominal and the business, of the Globe Printing Company was carried on by L. W. Law rence & Co., for whom he was also clerk. Ho knew Plunkltt and his judgment was that the signature to the voucher was Plunkltt's. He never knew of Plunkltt's taking money or rendering service to tho Mutual Life. A voucher of December, 1902, signed by the witness, was acknowledged. It was for tho payment of $1G67.S0 for legal ex penses by the witness. Rogers said ho must have received that money from tho Mutual Life, but he had no recollection of receiving, nor for what ho paid it. Asked directly if he did pay out tho money for legal services to anybody, ho could not remember. Mr. Hughes asked that the matter be looked up and that the Mutual Life pro duce the checks for $1667.50 receipted for by Rogers and tho $901 receipted for by "'Plunkltt-" Legislators Guests of Mutual. "William M. Carpenter, a clerk in tho supply department of the Mutual Life, was called and testified concerning Fields' houses in Albany during the legislative sessions. Carpenter having paid the rent and other expenses. Carpenter said his salary was $2500 a year and that he spent tho entire time the Legislature was in session in Albany. He acquainted him self with bills and kept Mr. Fields ac qualntcl with the progress of bills. He met members of the Legislature and also Andrew Hamilton. The witness said he had seen Senator Charles P. McClelland at the Madison Avenue House, in fact, ho was a member of the household In 1903. "Witness could not say that McClelland had paid any share of the expenses. Mr. Graney. he said, was also a member of tho household while he was in the Assembly and also while he was In the Senate. "Witness be lieved these men were there at Mr. Fields' invitation, as they were neighbors of Mr. Fields In Dobbs Ferry. Both of these men. It was brought out, were mem bers of the committee on insurance while they resided In the house maintained by money paid by the Mutual Life. vMr. McCurdy was questioned concern ing the relations of the Mutual Life to the National Bank of Commerce and to tho subsidiary companies and was still testi fying when tho adjournment was taken until tomorrow. Frlcko Denies Ho Is Lobbyist. NEW YORK, Oct. 18. W. A. Fricke last night said that the $5000 payment lo him by the Mutual Life was for legal oervices rendered last year. He was In surance Commissioner of Wisconsin from 1894 to 1S3S. "Along in January, 1904," he said. "Mr. Short, the general solocitor of the. Mutual Life, offered me a retainer of $5000 to cover consultation on several subjects in litigation. The Legislature of Wisconsin. -Isrinay add, was not In session at all that year. ... Mr.'Fricke said he was willlns to tell the investigating committee Just what the Mutual consulted him about. The con sultations required advice on the Mutual Life's action with regard to threje sep arate matters, all either before courts or likely to be some time. McClelland Defends Himself. CINCINNATI, Oct. 18. C. P. McClel land, formerly New York State Senator, but now a member of the Board of Gen oral Appraisers of the United States Cus toms Service, who was mentioned in the New York insurance investigation as hav ing been paid various sums by the Mutual Company, said in an Interview hero today: I never received a cent from the Mutual Life Insurance Company while I was State Senator: nor a cent from any other company. I served that company as an attorney, and any money which I received was in payment for legal services. 1 never was asked to influence legislation for any insurance com pany and certainly was not paid for any such service.

Late this afternoon examination of the effects of William Wilson, a stonecutter and mar bleworkerwho died in destitute circum stances tills morning, disclosed the fact that $300,000 in cash on deposit in New York, left from the estate of a brother, J. R. Wilson, who recently died in Peru, was awaiting his claim. The brother's will further bequeathed a third Interest in steamships and other proper ty, making the total value of the Inheri tance nearly $900,000. In addition, $60,000 cash from tho estate of another brother, R. A. Wilson, late editor of the Belfast Morning News, and a prominent writer of Ireland, was awaiting the appearance of William Wilson in New York. Until he became ill, Wilson had been employed for some time in a marble works here. His employer sent him to the hos pital and had him cared for during his sicKness. some time ago Wilson told Mr. Turner, his employer, that he had a mil lionaire sister in New York, and a son who is a prominent lawyer of that city. He steadfastly refused, however, to jrive their names, saying he had been tho scapegoat of the family and did not want tnem to Know of his present condition. Wilson was an export workman at his trade. Evidence of his wealth was dis covered in letters which he had kept in his trunk, and which urged him to go to New York, where he had a brother in addition to the son and sister.
