Boo adr CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD. Charge Brought Agninst the Officers of the American Mutual Aid Society. BUSINESS OPERATIONS OF THIS ASSOCIATION TO ‘BE AGAIN VENTILATED IN THE COURTS—THE ALLEGATIONS MADE BY FRANCIS BALL, ONE OF THE ALLEGED VICTIMS OF THE SOCIETY. ‘The pusiness operations of the American Mutual Aid Society, an insurance company, are again to be ventilated in the Police Court. President H. K. W. Patterson was recently tried and held on a charge of conducting the associa- tion without a license or permit from the Dis- trict Commissioners, and now officers of the society are to be called upon to defend a charge of conspiracy to defraud the public. The war- rant was issued from the Police Court this morning. Francis Hall, one of the alleged vic~ tims of the society, swearing to the facts al- leged, which are as follows: “That Henry K. W. Patterson, James L. Feeney and Lewis W. Johnson did’ falsely, un- lawfully and wickedly conspire, combine, con- federate and agree together to cheat and de- fraud divers persone, whose names are to the affant unknown, and’ also those persons who are hereinafter ‘mentioned as having been cheated and defrauded of large sume of money, i J pursuance of the same confederacy and we Me eer then and there did falsely pre pretend to the eld persons that they had organ- ed certain society known by ‘the name of “The American Mutual Aid Society,” which would secure to its members the payment gt ytick and accident benefits, of fifteen dollars per week benefits of 50, upon the ment of $1 & week for thirteen ks, and that upon Payment of $1 per week for fifty-two weeks each member would secure one hundred dollars; that the re- corded experience of the past and the unerring law of average upon which the whole Sebeie of endowment insurance is based, aided b; and improved features. the American Mutual Aid Society can pay $100 per year at an esti- mated cost of 852; tuat. certificates lssued to members of said society upon the payment of €1 per week for fifty-two weeks would mature one year from the date of issue and be payable by thesaid society on the Ist and 15th days of the month after they sball mature; that a member's certificate will pay $100 in six months if the member induces twelve other members to join the society; that the said society is doing busi- ness throughout the United States; that the officers and trustees were bonded to the amount of 250,000, deposited with the Washington Loan and Trust Company of the District of Cotum- bia: that the supreme president has given a bond in the sum of $10,000, the supreme secre- tary a bond in the sum of $10,000, the supreme treasurer a bond of $15,000 for the faithful per- formance of each of their duties.”” Whereas in truth and in fact the said Henry K. W. Patterson, James L. Feeney and Lewis W. Johnson had not organized the society known by tho name of “The American Mutual Aid Society,” which would secure to its mem- bers the payment of sick and nccident benefits of $15 per week and death benefits of 850 upon the payment of €1 per week for thirteen weeks: nor would, upon the payment of €1 per week for fifty-two weeks, each member secure #100; that the recorded’ experience of the past and the unerring law of average upon which the whole fabric of endowment insurance is based, aided by new and improved features, did not | show that the American Mutual Aid’ Socie could pay $100 per year upon an es d cost of $52; nor would nor could certificates issued ‘to. members of aia | society upon the payment of 81 per week for fifty-two weeks mature one year from date of issue and be parable by the iety on the Ist and 15th days of the month | afier it shall mature; that the said society is not doing business throughout the United States, nor are the officers and trustees of the said society bonded in the sum of $50,000. de- posited with the Washington Loan aud Trust | Company of the District of Columbia, nor bas | the supreme president given a bond in the sum of $10,000, the supreme secretary a bond | in the sum of $10,000, tho supreme treasurer a bond in the sum of $15,000 for the faithful | performance of ench of their duties; all of which the said Henrs K. W. Patterson, snid James L. | Feeney, the said Lewis W. Johnson then and | there well know, by means of which said false pretenses the said divers persons, to the said | affiant unknown, were seduced and persuaded | to become members of said society and were defrauded of large sums of money, and in par- ticular one Phillip J.

BILL IN EQUITY FILED AGAINST THE FIDELITY BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION—THE OFFI- CERS MAKE EMPHATIC DENIAL OF THE CHARGES, AND CLAIM 4 CONSPIRACY. Late Saturday afternoon an extensive bill in equity was filed on behalf of thirteen share- holders in the Fidelity Building, Loan and In- vestment Association against that association, asking that a receiver be appointed and the association be dissolved and the assets appor- tioned among the stockholders. The bill alleges fraud in the plan of the asso- | 7” ciation, mismanagement by xome of its officers, whose records in other cities are anid to be noted, ands failure to comply with certain legal requirements in the conduct of such con- cern, The bill is directed against the officers of the association, who are said to be: Harrison Dingman, president: Andrew Wall. vice presi- dent and manager; Alonzo Tweedale, secretary; Benjamin Wail, general superintendent; R. H. Morehouse, assistant attorney; Edward 8. York, manager of the loan department: George W. Leach, assistan r of the loan oe rt ment; Charles ea James, 1 ‘visor, and uel Tweedale, A. L. Welty, C. Matthews, T. B. Couch and James M. York, directors, ‘Among other things it is charged in the bill that instead of bona fide statements of the an- nual business of the concern the officers pub- lished certain alleged statements, which were never sworn to by the signers, as the law ro- Sec ben iso alleged that the association n business before the necessary amount of had been subscribed for and paid up: that it also issued a large number of 8 per cont bonds in violation of its lnws and charter, and, consequently, the righta of ite shareholders, and that the association has never in fact had a legal existence, and that all ite operations and sgutracts are null and vold. It i also alleged that the association has collected $800,000 through its agents in various cities, to whom it paid 15 per cent commission; that its liabilities are largely in excess of its ‘assets, and that it is, accordingly, insolvent. OFFICERS DENY. if The officers of the association absolutely deny the allegations of the bill and explain that ite filing was nothing more or less than @ con- spiracy to cripple the association. They state at the suit will be vigorously defended, and claim that such an answer will be made to itin court as will satisfy the court and the com- munity that the allegations of the bill are wi out foundation and that the association ia per- fecily sound, financially and otherwise. —— BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL.
