McCall, president of the New York Life Insurance Company, testifies about drawing checks without finance committee approval. He claims Hamilton handled large checks for real estate in Albany and explains how funds, including 100000 and 60000 payments, were treated as advances and later charged to real estate and legal expense accounts.
