Spectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—At least three in- dictments against high officers of the | Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Company | | are expected from the Investigation which was begun by the Grand Jury today. While some of these officers may be in- dicted for grand larceny, it is said other | | indictments may be brought for forgery, | based on false entrles made in the books | of the company to hide transactions com- | | plained of. | Assistant District Attorney Nott ap- | peared before the Grand Jury this morn- { ing and caused fo be brought before that | ody separately many of the officers and | | several employes, nearly all of whose | | statements had been obtained previously. There were voluminous books and docu- ments as well, all belonging to the com- pany, which were taken inte the room | for inspection by the grand jurors. Willam Rand Jr., formerly chief of Jerome’s staff. was on hand to protect | the interests of the officials of the Mutual | Reserve, and among the officers of the company who appeared before the Grand Jury were Willlam " Porter, con er; George W. Harper., treasurer; E. M. Usher, assistant treasurer; Charles W. Camp, secretary, and E. A. Powers, au- ditor. One of the complaints on which indict- ments will be asked for is by James D. Wells, formerly an employe of the com- ,pany, who says that when some of the higher officials of the company were sued personally and settled the suits, the funds | of the company were diverted to these settlements, and that in this manner the policy holders were made losers. To cover these transactions, it is alleged, the books of the company were so ar- ranged that they would not show that the company had settled from its own treas- ury the judgments obtained against its officials as individuals. It is likely that Frederick H. Burnham, president of the company: his brother George, and George D. Eldridge, who are vice presidents, will be called upon to tell the Granad Jury what they know of the | g transactions. .
