Hughes Attempied te Get Light on
Andrew Hamilton Paymeats, but
Witness McCullough Mad
Bad Memory.
NEW YORK, Sept
Perkins, vice president of the. New
York Life Insurance company, was
the main witness before the legislative
committee that continuing its in-
vestizations into the methods of life
fnsurance companies doing business In
this state, and he had for apn audience
the largest nnmber of persons who
have thus far tried to crowd into the
spacious aklermanie chambers
Mr. Perkins sprang a little
the expense of Inquisitor Hughes. 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. McCullough, typewriter
for “Judge’ Andrew Hamilton, on the
bank account Hamilton had with the
New York State Lank at Albany, but
McCullough had a very poor memory
as to “Judge” Humilton's financial af-
fairs. He remembered cashing checks
for bis employer, but nope for as much
as $25000 or $80.000. He Lad made
deposits im the New York Etate Na-
tional bank at Albany, but Chief Coun-
sel Hughes couldu't get him to recall |
any specific transactions. 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. Just before recess |
Mr. Perkins made the statement that
since 1807 the New York Life had |
made for its policy holders an aggre-
gate profit of $635,822 more than fit |
Would have made If it had not gone in- |
to the joint accounts, and that that ag-
gregate of original profits sow amount-
4 to $556,004.80,
John R. Hegeman, president of the |
Metropolitan Life Insurance company, |
it was proved, Is a personal debtor for |
$50,000 to the New York Life Insur
ance company.
Among other pessonal loans was one
of $300,000 at 34 per cent to E H. |
Harriman. This has been renewed |
from time to time during the past |
three years and falls due next year,
It is secured largely. by Union Pacific |
bounds. i
Perkins also testified that as a part-
ner of J. P. Morgan & Co. bis share of |
profits from the sale of $38,504,004.15 |
bad been only $10,412.57. He sald be |
