Equitable $57,933 Claim Tied to Scott Case and Suspected Revenge
New York December 15. Edward W. Scott, former Australian agent for Equitable Life Assurance, urged chairmen to exclude statements about his ties to the Equitable Society from hearings. He claimed enemies pursued him and that records were stolen by an Equitable employee. Letters show Alexander pressed Scott to admit balances of $57,933, while Scott sought a conference but denied admission. He alleged a traitor within Provident and cited retaliation for previous arrests. Lapses in industrial policies, child insurance regulation, and related losses were discussed by Fiske, noting a $1,070,000 loss on lapses in 1908 and detailing policy cancellations and death claims.
