Ryan Alone Claims Sole Ownership of Equitable Stock
Thomas F. Ryan asserts he is the sole owner of 502 shares of the Equitable Life Assurance Society bought from James Hazen Hyde for 2.5 million dollars and bears no obligation to any living person. Trustees Grover Cleveland, Morgan J. O'Brien, and George Westinghouse were named to vote the controlling interest, selecting seven directors annually from policyholders. The trust deed, prepared by Elihu Root and Cravath, outlines duties for trustees and invites policyholders to submit lists of mores. Ryan’s letter to trustees confirms his sole ownership and excludes other contributors.
