Insurance Ring Accused Of Body Snatching Death Claims
NEW YORK July 20 A modified form of body snatching is alleged by District Attorney Richard J Peterson of Richmond County. A ring reputedly swindled insurers by filing false death claims with forged documents. Three suspects claimed from the Manhattan morgue the body of an unidentified man killed in a fall. They staged a funeral then filed a $300 death claim on a fraudulent policy. The grand jury handed up seven indictments against Peterson for forgery conspiracy and false claims and nine indictments against three unnamed defendants including a woman for grand larceny and conspiracy.
