Farrell Arrested For Insurance Premium Deceit
P J Farrell of 110 North Everett avenue was arrested on Threeday and heard before Aides Jaima John on charges of obtaining money by fraudulent pretenses. He was a collector for the Massachusetts Benefit Life Insurance association and faced a settlement with Mrs Frank Dummerick, beneficiary on a policy written for Evan Novack. Dummerick died months ago and Farrell had collected payments until Aug 1, with a claim he sent the money to the home office, which denied knowledge of receiving the funds. Each payment exceeded $2 and Mrs Dummerick, a widow with a large family, sued to recover the premiums. Farrell settled the costs.
