The final witness in the two-day public hearings was Max Zark, of Englewood Cliffs, owner of Royal Mart, an appliance store in Jersey City. Zark told of supplying Mr. Callari and his associates with more than $23,000 worth of electrical appliances such as air conditioners, ice makers, toasters, freezers, vacuum cleaners and television receivers, over the last six years.

Mr. Zark, whose relationship with Callari was uncovered by agents of the State Commission of Investigation, also testified under immunity.

He said Mr. Callari first came to his store in 1964 and ordered a few items. To cover all future purchases, the witness testified, Callari arranged a scheme under which Callari would send him official vouchers made up for items used in mosquito control work, but items which Zark never carried in his store.

For instance, there were 23 vouchers signed by Mr. Zark for shovels, wheelbarrows, spray mixtures, etc. The amount on 23 fraudulent vouchers uncovered by the investigation always matched the amount of electrical appliances provided by Royal Mart in separate transactions with Callari.

Mr. Zark explained the system when he gave details on two of the fradulent vouchers.
