Andrew Hamilton dies after sudden heart dilation
Yesterday evening Andrew Hamilton died unexpectedly in normal health after an autopsy showed acute dilation of the heart. Hamilton was known for his role in the New York Life life insurance inquiry, leading Albany affairs for the company for years and closely allied with John A. McCall. Records show about 1.347 million dollars passed through his hands from 1892 to 194, with substantial sums unaccounted. The Fowler report noted mismanagement in the bureau of legislation and taxation and a home office annex account later refunded by McCall. He also held a legislative agent role for several insurers and appeared in the inspector general inquiry news.
