As the committee wus getting ready to take a recess Mr. Perkins sald that the New York Life had a coutract with oue other person besides those whose pamies had appeared in the joint ac counts snd that he thought it ouly right that that name should appear on the record. When permission was granted to make the statement Mr I'erkins said he referred to the con- tract the company had with Mr Hughes bhlmself, wherein Mr. Hughes was to share in all of the profits of the company. Mr. Hughes looked surprised at this announcement, not to say a little em barrassed, until Mr, Perkins explained that Mr. Hughes, bLelug a policy bold. er in the New York Life, was entitled to his share of the profits and that his policy was the contract wentioned Mr. Hughes stood the laugh on bim good naturedly and sald that he would later have occasion to go Inte the ques tion of just how much profits the poll cy holders actually got Before Mr. Perkins was called to the | stand an attempt was made by Chief Inquisiter Hughes te get some light from Jon F.

MeCullough simply conlda't “recollect.” He thought Hamiiton would prubably return from | abroad about Oct. 17 or 10 Mr. Perkins spent three hours ex- latning to Mr. Hughes about twenty- ve joint aoceunts that the New York Life bad had with various banking firms in the last few years. Mr. Per kins reiterated in substance much of the testimony he gave previously. He showed that it was the policy of the New York Life to get some banking firm to buy securities direct from the parties Issuing them, the New York | Life putting up all the wouey and | dividing profits with the firms which | did all the work.
