Recently he | was employed by the Mutual Life In- surance Company. He was gbnsulted by the officers of the Equitable Sotiety on matters not connected with the Leg- islature in 1904, One of the matters intrusted to him as that of W. §. Manning of Albany. | ‘The witness said that Mahning, who { had been an actuary, was employed by certain people to bring charges against the Eduitable that the reserve was not S0 large as it ought to be.

MANNING’S STRANGE POWER. The letter of the witness to Senator Depew, dated December, 1896, relative | to “our friend who gets around at this time of the year,” was read to the wit- ness, and he said it referred .to Man- | ning. He wrote to Senator. Depew be- cause the Senator was on the Finance Committee of the Equitable Society, and he expected the Senator o turn the Jetter over to the executiye officers. The letter of Decembr 4, 1902, 1élative 10 .‘our rambunctious- friend from up the rivét,” the witmess also said, re- ferred to Manning. Manning, he said, wanted to know whether the arrange- ment of yearly payments by the Equi- table Society was t6 be continued. The witness sald Manning went ‘into this arrangement under his (Nichols')«per- suasion. Nichgls said he induced Man- ning to give up his business as an act- uary because Manning 'hdd been‘antag- onis: . witness thought = Manning ‘was| .cted with the investigation of in- | ce tompanies in 1877, but he dld| not know in what capacity. He did not | recall that Manning threatened to pub- lish_the results of that investigation | that d.not heeén made: public. Man- ning, according to Hughes, claimed that | he had information of the investigation which, if published, would seriously af- | fect the Equitable Society, and Hughes s not the rea- on this point. iy FALSE NAMES ON VOUCHERS. " The names ot Pierson, Brooker, Bal- derson and nutterous others bn’vouch: | ers on which ‘payments’ werd madg, the | witness said, were filse names, uséd to p protect Manning and’keep his namée out | of the transactions. During 'this sanie | | period the witness was employed by the | Mutual Life- Insurance Company in | “looking after Manning.” as Hughes | férmred it; and paid Manning for the Mutual sums like those pald for the | Equitable. The same system of using | false names to protect Manning followed in His dealing w the, Mutual. The witness said lie réceived| $1000 annually. For a time he received | $1000 also frem the New York Life In- | surance Company, but the latter discon- | tinued it about 1899. 2 | The witnees said Manning, wanted “to follow up the New York Life,” but he “quieted him without the use of ad- ditional money.” ol " Thomas (omang, who'said ‘he looked after real estate and ¢ity complaints'for the Equitable Society, was next called. Hewas formerly president of the Board oL Aldermen :and acting Mayor. upon Mayor Heffman siaelection tp the Gov- ernorship: Heuhas held no, office since 1872. He entered the employment in 1852. Hughes asked if he was the in- terinediary between the city depart- ments and the Equitable Soclety, and the witness replied: “Whenever they required anything.” Comans said he was u member : of | Tawmany Hall. He said he looked after | petting the tax assessments ‘ot the of- | | ficers of the FEquitable Society reduced. Among these, he said. were Henry B. | Hyde, James H. Hyde and Gage E. Tar- | bell. He had mever received money for | political purposes nor any contributions to Tammany Hall ;| SENATOR PLATT LIMPS IN. At this point Senator Thomas C. Platt arrived and Comans was tem- porarily excused. ot Senator Platt's entrance created a stir In the committee-room. He walked slowly, on the arm of Robert C. Morris, his counsel, and leaning heavily on a cane. He took the wit- ness chair and was sworn. Morris started to address the committee,” but stopped upon Chairman Armstrong’s explanation that counsel are not heard formally /by, the committee. SenatoryRlatt had been carried: up the stairs of the City Hall to the door of the committee-room in a chair, When he was séated and sworn Mor- ris sajd that the Senator would answer all questions freely and frankly. In reply to questions .by Hughes Platt said that he had received con- tributions more particularly from the Equitable Life Assurance Society sole- ly for the State campaign fund, and. during a period of at least the last ten years. The contributions wére of $10,000 each. He could not tell when they commenced, “but they continued every year for some time. He received | no money from the Equitable for the local campaigns, nor for the expenses of -any candidate for the Legislature. Thée money was divided as seemed ex- | pedient. The packages of money, he said, wére sent over to 'his office By’ p | messenger and he Immediately turned | |them over to the chalrman, sefrétiry or treasiirer of the State committee. They were all cash contributions;~atl | came by messenger and all came vol- | untafily. Senator Platt said he.cohid not remember whether he made a re. quest.for the eontributions at twe ver, beginping or that ‘were m§ sum of $10,000'a year, . . OTHER §10,000 CONTRIBUTIL |*Benator Platt said he’ occasionally | received contributions of ‘$10,000 &ach | from the Mutual Life Insurance Com- | pany, but that he could not téll- on | what year or how often. These con- | tributions did not comie dnnually, but at different times within' the last ten vears. He turned the money over to the State-committee. The Senator said he belleved that he had dealt with } dealt with ' President John A. McCall | the service at Albany | mone: ir 1 venting legislation | asked Hughes. | tor the Legislatdre?” President R. A. McCurdy in regard to these contributions. “I simply asked him at various times when necessities ‘were very urgent for money and he said he would be glad to subscribe,” said the Senator. The money, Platt said, was always sent to him by a messenger, and was intended for use in the State campaign. Presi- dent MeCurdy understood, the Senator tsaid, that the Senator was not repre-| senting the' national committee. The tions to ‘the loeal campaign, mor in the; interest of any candidate for State office other than by the general contributions. While testifying about the gifts of| the Mutual Life, the Senator once replied that he understood that he was talking about the New York Life Insurance! Company, but afterward said he meant the Mutual. When he was asked when he had received any funds from the New York Life Insurance Company, he said | he thought it was'very seldom. He had Asked" directly ‘whether McCall gave him any ‘money, the Senator repiled: " I camnot say positively whether he did or' iot. I eannot remember.” “It ‘has been suggested to me that you had something to do with the collection of funds for the Harrison campaign—the | raising of a fund of $140,000. Do you re- call that?” asked Hughes. “I do not,” sdid:the Senator: “Or any fund?” “No. My memory' could not tell me whether it was the Harrison campaign or what campaign it was." “You are clear in your mind that you never had’any contributions made to you for the purpose of ‘& national campaign?" ADVISED THE INSURANCE MEN. “Yes, sir; they never were given to me for a natignal campaign, although I sometimes In talking ~with gentlemen about it, said I thought it would be a good thing for them to subscribe because of the bearing of the national campalgn on a State campalign.” “And with whom have you had such copversations?—1 mean connected Wwith insurance’ compantes, of course?” “I am not eure as to whom I talked,” said Senator Platt. The Senator sald he daid not think he had talked with President McCurdy about that matter, but he may have talk- éd with President McCall,” though he did not remember. Senator Platt sald he did not kpow of campaign contributions from any ‘other imsurance companies doing business in this State. 7"Platt said he afa not know anything | about Andrew Hamilton, to whom the New York Life had pald large sums for | legal expenses, nor did he know any- thing about his work at Albany. He knew A. C. Flelds, who had charge of the House maintained by the Mutual Life Insurance Company at Albany, but' he did not knew anything about or about any companies pald by insurance to Fields. ° “8o far as you know, Senator, what have thé insurance companies done in gard t0 shaping legistatien or pre- in, this ~'State?” “I do not know anything they have dof®; I néver inquired inte -that,.nor have they sought my influence at all in reference to it!: < “Do you know what disposition has been made of the contributions by the insurance -companies?” . ‘I do not know anything about it, T turned these comtributions over my sir, to .the State conimittee and'then connection with them ceased.” NO RETURNS FOR THE MONEY. “Do you know whether, by virtue of such contributions, any allotments of money were made for the purpose of helping “the campaign “ of candidates There was not that I know of.” “Inquiries have been made from time to time here with regard to the in- gurance depaftment. ~What influence had the insurance companies in re- gard to the appointment of the super- intendent of Insurance, so far as you know 7% ] % “1 dén’t- think théy had dny Iinflu- ence, so far as I know.” 3 “Have you ever been asked, Senator, | on behalf of any of the insurance com- intervéné ‘In “thelr favor, by f such contributions?"’ “In connection with matters of legis- lation of the insurance department?” “Never in the world.” “At all in connection with matters of legislation?” 7 “They have never asked me in world.” “And you have never done anything of the kind?” “I have not.” JUSTIFIES USE OF “SACK.” Platt said he knew nothiig of the contributions by the Mutual and Equitable to the national campalgn fund in 1896, He did not remember that there was any co-operation be- tween Cornelius N. Bliss and his con- duct of the campalgns of 1900 or-1904. He said he knew nothing about the contributions approximating $50,000 made. by the New York Life Insurance Company to the national committee in the -last Presidential campaign, and that he did not know 'that the Equit- able’ Sotviety ‘had given $50,000 during that campaign. The Senator could not remember when he began to recelve contributions from life insurance com- panies; but thought gt might have been fifteens' years ago 'or more. He ex- pre€sed the opinion that life insurance compafles were justified in making campaign contributions while the gold issue -was at stake.. He did not care to pass upon the justification of the companies in giving money for* State campaigns. “What advantage could they get by so contributing?’ asked Hughes. “They got it through me as being connectéd with the ' State comrmittee. | They would suppose 1 would be likely t6 defend them at timés when it was | necessary. I?never ‘had occasion to; do it.” LEGISLATORS SELL HONOR. “I understand you to say they would | expect you would support or defend ! them. ‘Now, wiat class of possibilities had you in mind :in‘saying that?

Gage "E.. Tarbell, second vice president of the Equitable, was on the stand when recess was taken. 5 { COIN FOR LEGISLATOR’S BROTHER. During the afternoon Tarbell was €éxcused téemporarily and Assemblyman | Mutual Life, he ¢aid, made no contribu-| yimes K. Apgar of Westchester was called. He said he knew Thomas D. Husted, who signed a voucher on Octo- ber 11, 1897, for $1000 for professional serviceg to the Equitable Society. At- tached to this voucher was Apgar's card, on the back of which was writ- ten: “Mr. Hyde says pay through T. D. Husted.—J. W. A." Apgar said he knew nothing of the transaction, but identified the card. He visited J. W. Alexander in 1887. What the call was for he did not remember, but he thought it was to intercede for a frliend. He was not a member of the Assembly at that time, though a candi- date. He was defeated. James W. Husted Jr.,, a brother of Thomas Hus- ted, was Apgar's predecessor in the As- sembly. During the session of 18¥5 and 1896 Apgar was private secretary to Lieutenant Governor Saxton. In 1897 he was in Washington. He said he had had no conversation about money with any one. He did not know how his card became attached to the voucher. It was not in his hand- writing, but ‘the initials on the card were subsequentiy identified as those of James W. Alexander and written by him: The voucher was signed by T. D. Husted and the check also was in- dorsed byeHusted. Apgar said he did not know what became of the money. He received none of it and never heard of the Equitable paying anything to- ward his campaign expenses. It was known that on October 18, 1895, Thomas D. Husted reteived a check for $1000 and another on October 15, 1896. On both of these dates James W. Husted Jr. was a,member of the Assembly. Apgar said he knew A. C. Fields and had known him for many vears, when he ran for office in Westchester County. He said Fields was vigorous in his po- ltical activity and “generally elected whoever he started out te elect.” H. H.

Says Searchlight Should Be Turmed Upon State Legisiature, ALBANY, N: Y., Nov. 2.—When ‘William 8. Manning of this city was told of the part his name had played in the | New York insurance Investigation, he replied with considerable heat: If you want to hear from me let-them call me before the committee.. I can tell. Mr. Hughes a few things. The place where he should turn his searchlight is not so mmch on the officers of the {nsurance companies as on the insurance department and islature, The department is much to blame— usually to blame, whethér its officials know the things that are goihg on or not—because it they Ald not they iwere incompetent. Regarding the testimony of John A. Nichols, Manning said he. had had his dealings with Nichols only as repre- sentative of several of the large insur- ance companies for a. number of years. | He added: I received from him a retainer for opposing before the Legislature easures harmful to the companies and policyhoiders.

Mr. Clunie was asked whether would go to New York to testify.

In no case did the defense question | the authenticity of the letters or tele- | grams, basing their objections on the ground that the comtents were not | pertinent to the allegations made in/ the indictment. Harlan, who at Senator Burton's for- | mer trial was called as a witness by | the defense, was placed on the stand | by the Gevernment to-day and called | upon to identify letter press copies of letters sent by, him to Senator Burton | and originals of letters recelved by him from Senator Burton. The first| letter submitted was dated November | 18, 1902, addressed to Senator Burton | and signed by Harlan. Following i3, an excerpt from this /document: i I hope you received my message. to this ef- | fect, that this company (meaning the Rial Comipany) accepts your terms to act as cou se] at a salary of $500 a month, sald service | to begin immediately: that is, of this date, | | November 18, 1 In reply Senator Burton wrote Har- lan in part as follows: T cailed at the department this morningand find | that there are two complaints lodged against your company. One by Bella Evans and the | other by Mrs. K. C. Hont, both of Albany, N. Y. Without knowing anything about the mer- #ts of the same, I would advise that all com- plaints receive special attentfon by your com- pany. No action of any kind will taken against you without my first being notifled and every opportunity for & full explanation or hearing will be had. In reply. if agreeable, You may make remittance for my month's pay. In reply to a letter from Harlan stating that an alleged postoffige in- spector had tried to exact money from the Rialto Company by virtue of his official position, Senator Burton wrote the following: There {s no man by the name of J. H. Bow- man who is a postoffice inspector. The ma: operating in Colorado is ulso a fraud. There h: gome from _this office no instructions whatever about the Rialto Company and there is nothing in this office against you at this time. The matter in_St. Louis, as yop kiow, is in the hands of Mr. Dyer there. I would suggest that you prepare carefully the case of Dennis for early mext manth. will take care of things at this end of the line. Four checks for $300° each, sent by the Rialto Company of St. Louis to Senator. Burton while he was In Wash- ington, D. C., were submitted by the Government, and while objected to by the defense, Senator Burton acknowl- edged the indorsements on their backs. —_————— BIG TERMINAL STATION FOR NEW YORK AND JERSEY Millions of Doliars to Be Speat by Road in the New E: _ terdrise.
