Mutual Life President McCurdy Testimony Interrupted
New York testimony before the Armstrong insurance committee exposed McCurdy's unfamiliarity with company details and his reluctance to answer questions about dividend declines. The session revealed a literary bureau and payments to a newspaper correspondent, plus questions about Fields and the supervision of legal services and advertising. The hearing touched on foreclosures, mortgage legal costs, and political connections, with McCurdy relying on the actuary for dividend data and warning of an inquisition atmosphere.
