Factory of sinuous insuring? Perkins on Randolp scheme
The Armstrong committee hears Theo dore I. Banta testify that early 1901 Edmund D. Randolph opened the New York Life vault, swapped $700,000 in New York city stock for a $700,000 Central National check, and then unrecorded the move. George W. Perkins says Morgan & Co. funded Hamilton notes for a NY Life syndicate, with proceeds paid to Hamilton, while John A. McCall confirms Hamilton's debt and nonentry in books. Perkins admits handling the NY Life fund as his own account and defends commissions as a trade discount, insisting profits justified his pay and that he kept no public records of his transactions.

In testimony McCall said he never gave Senator Platt a dollar for the New York Life Insurance Company and knew of no campaign contributions from New York Life to a state fund.

The session also covered New York Security and Trust’s role in the United States Steel syndicate and a separate note about McCurdy and Leiter in the Mutual Life case.
