THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA. DECEMBER 7, 1880.
Startling Insurance Frauds.
A Rending letter says : Tlio nrroHt of
four alleged iiimu slice conspirators bns
. created great excitement la this seotlou.
Their nRiiies are Dr. L. C. B. Yorgoy,
Dr. It, 8. llerinnn, Wellington Blilrey,
and 8. Hblory. Tlio prosecutor is William
V. Kusor, President of the Prudential Com
pany Ilarrisburg. Tho doolois were tlio
mod leal exauiiuers in tlio case of Mrs.
Reinert, who was henvily insured for about
f ifl.OOO when she was ou her death-bed,
sufForing with consumption. The doctors
were held in f 1,000 to answer at the Jan.
nary Sesxions this city. The Bhlreys are
first cousins, and bad laige interests in the
policies. The Doctors, it is alleged, were
also heavily iuteicsted. Tbo woman lived
in the backwoods and was not generally
known in the neighborhood, sho having
been brought up from Phu'nlxville to her
father's home to die last Mny. Blie also
had another loathsome disease. Within a
few weeks of ber death she was heavily lu
sured. The medical blanks of the compau
les were lllled by Dr. Hotmail. He says
ho never saw her but filled up the paper on
tho representation of Dr. Yorgey. The
examination set forth that the woman was
sound in health and only suffering from a
slight cold ; that she was a good risk. The
oompauies subsequently beard of the fraud
through the local news pnperB and honco
the arrests. Both doctors are young. Dr.
Herman is unranrriod and located at I'otts
ville. He Is the son of a clergyman.
Other doctors have beou exposed, and
among the number is Dr. Frets of Fleet
wood, who is said to be more or less inter
ested. He was a popular Democratic
oandidate for Congress against Senator
Ermentrout at tbo lust election. Dr. J'retz,
of course, denies the charges, but it is
rumored to day that prosecutious will fol
low, not only against Dr. Dewees of Myers
town, whose name is also published in the
local newspapers as being connected with
these so-called insurance frauds. The ex
posures that are quite new nre unearthed
at Fleetwood, where old, docrepit, poor,
deaf and blind people on the blink of the
grave were recently insured for large
amounts. .Samuel Fisher aged 81 liviug
in squalid wretcbeduess,all alone in a single
. dirty room, is insured for $ 30,000. Tho
names of Drs. Dewees and Frets are given
by the old man as the medical examiners
in his case, Susan Everhart, aged 85,
near Fleetwood, is insured for $09,000, it
all having been effected within tho past
six weeks. Drs. Dewees and Fretz are
again mentioned. Tho old woman is so
feeble and deraeuted that Bhe has loug
Bince failed to recognize hor oldest acquaint
ances. It is not known yet what tho med
ical examinations of the woman set forth,
but the companies that issued the policies
explicitly set forth in their schemes that
tho applicants must in all cases bo sound
in mind and body. Old Mrs Everhart has
not been even a medium risk for tho past
twenty years, not withstanding the fact
that she has lived that long.
Tha arrest of Dr. Yorgey is expected to
lead to tho most startling revelations.
Many meu more high in position are very
extensive speculators. One man in Union
township Derks County, is carrying policies
to tho amount of $ 104,000 on old and poor
people. These old and decrepit people aro
paid small pittances, promised nice coffins
and respectable burials at their death, aud
they consent to have insurance placed on
their lives and then the policy is assigned
to the speculator, who pays all the costs and
keeps the policy up. From nearly every
nook aud cuner of the Schuylkill Valley
the most startling exposures aro boing
made, and if Dr. Yorgey tells all ho knowg,
which it is now threatened he will, bis nar
rative will bo among the strangest ever
Ilaoed on record. Y. J. Handy of Colum
bus, Ohio, is iu Heading to-day. Ho rep
resents a number of Ohio companies
interested in the cases abovo alluded to.
Mrs. Reiner was insured in tho State
Mutual of Columbus and in other compan
ies to the amount of $25,000. Tho Ohio
companies were informed that sho was a
first-classed risk, and the full amount of
the policies would have been paid over had
not the fraud been discovered in time.
All the policies will now be canceled. Tho
topio upermost in tho minds of all in this
section is this subject, and tho movements
of the police during the week will be watch
ed with a great deal of anxiety and interest.
VIS Geuerul Orunt was asked the other
day by Henry Ward Beeoher wLether in
tho course of the rebellion be had ever
reoeived any aid from Washington in the
way or information as to the enemy's
moveroeuU. "Only onoe," said Grant,
"and who do you think gave it?" Of
coarse no oue could toll. 'Well," said
Grant, family smiling, "it was Charles A.
Dana. He sent me a dispatch onoe which
contained most im porta ut information, and
which saved tho lives of many men.
That is oue good thing Mr. Dana did."
EBGeorge B. Robinson, the Lieutenant
Governor elect of Colorado, was shot on
Saturday night while visiting his mine at
Robinson's Camp, about twenty miles from
Leadville. The shooting grew out of a
miners' riot.
