Col. William Hayward, counsel to the Legislative Committee, got track of these pictures Iate last night when he was talking with some of the em- * | ployees of the Holbrook, Cabot. & Robbins Company, which has the con- tract for part of the new subway, workmen of which stated in its they had drilled through the ie and caused the short-circuiting. He learned that the Public Service Commission iteelf had had the photo- Graphs taken on Jan. 2%. What he eaid surprised him was that the ex- istence of the pictures had never been Meclosed, ‘The photographs bore also the same number a@ that of the investigation the commission conducted to deter- mine the cause of the fire in the splicing chamber at Broadway and Fifty-third Street on Jan. 6. Col. Hayward announced to-day at' the opening of the session in ‘ @ Council Chambers of .the City Hall that he had now five eyewitnesses of the accidental puncturing of the feed cable in West Forty-second Street which caused the tragic subway fire Jan. 6. He added that he had affidavits from all five and offered the witnesses to the committee for testimony or what- use the legislative investigators wished, But when the ve jon opened to-day Col. Hayward discovered that two of the witnesses subpoenaed before the legislators had been “kidnapped” by the legal Wepartment of the Public Service Commission and taken to the latter’s offices at No. 154 Nassau Street. The two witnesses “kidnapped” by subpoena servers of the Public Ser- vice Commission were William John- son and Lex Diggs, who were at work in the manhole when the duct was red by the drill and the feed e rt-circulted. An attempt was made to serve John C. Clark, another 6f Col. Hayward's ‘witnesses, but it ‘was frustrated by the Colonel himaelf, who told the server to go elsewhere with his subpoena, The kidnapping aroused Col. Hay- ward to the point of sending a clerk to the Public Service Comminsion with a demand that the two witnesses be returned instantly. If this was not done, he added that he'd the Sergeant-at-Arma for ther supplemented this with a telephone message which was forceful the least. The communications bore fruit so Promptly that within ten minutes the witnesses were back at Col. Hay- ward's elbow. : By way of opening the session, Col. Hayward explained these matters to the committee. “I have aMdavits from five wit- Desses. “Two of them are still employed by the Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins Cor- poration, the contractors for a part of the Seventh Avenue subway, al- though Commissioner Williams said yesterday he rstood they were diacharged empl “The affidavits made by these wit- nesses bring out the details of the puncturing with a drill of the sub- way feed cable on Jan, 6,” sald Col. Hi rd, “They are able to fix the dt lor the reason that half or three- quarters of an hour after the punc- turing and short circuiting of the cable a passing policemas told them @ subway collision had occurred at Fifty-fifth Street, that fifty people had been killed: and that the cars were then burning. “One of these witnesses who is not now employed by the contractors states in bis aMdavit that on or about Jan, 25 he was told by the superintendent of the contracting firm that -he'd better not tell any one what had happened at No. 136 West Forty-seventh Street (where the puncturing occurred) because ‘if he didn't keep his mouth shut he would probably be held lable by the Coroner for the death of the woman in the subway accident. “Also LI have information § that Pi photographers who said they were in the employ of the Public Service Com- mission took on Jan, 26 last’ pictures of the manhole and excavation, sho ing the effects of the short circuiting.” | "we should have those photograhps.
