Representatives of the Edison Company, on Stand ‘at Inquity Instituted by the Comptroller, Refuse to Answer Questions. f Warrants were applied for to-day for the arrest.of H. M. Edwards, aud- Stor, and James Williams, assistant secretary of the New ork Edison Com- pany. / They are accused of contempt in refusing to answer pertinent ques- Hone put to them by counsel for Comptroller Grout in an endeavor to learn a fhe cost of manufacturing and distributing electricity for street lighting pur- |...
