Hand of Law S008 10 Fall on Grafters
New York December 7. Criminal action potential arises from the life insurance probe after a District Attorney visit to the legislative committee. The Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Co paid 154000 to the widow of former president Edward B. Harper since 1895, funded by commissions on all company business. A 6600 payment to President Harnham in 1896 drew questions from a company official and a bookkeeper. The Security Mutual Life Insurance Co of Binghamton disclosed paying a clerk as consulting actuary at $1000 yearly, a claim the president called possibly a sham. Clarence H. Wenner seeks a court order to obtain policy holder lists with addresses to push proxies for next trustees' election, while McCall opposes the request citing confidentiality and potential misuse.
