LAWYERS SURE CONVICT WHITES REALLY KINIMEL James A. Mcintosh of New York Life Criticises Mother Who Denies Identity. ATTACKS HER ATTORNEY =f Declares He Does Not Believe Claim for $25,000 Insur- ance Will Be Pushed. Deciaring his absolute conviction that (he released convict who is now seeking to establish himself in Niles, Mich. as George -A. Kimmel! ie really that per-| @oa, James A. Molntosh, genoral counsel | for the New York Lite Insurance Com- pany, who has personally indestisatet the case, denounced to-day the man’ mother and sister and their lawyer. “I am as firmly convinced that the man ‘Who was released a few days ago from Auburn prison ts George A. Kimmel! as Tam thet you are sitting opposite me at this moment,” said Mr. McIntosh to en Evening World reporter. ‘The case, to my mind, 1s absolutely clear and I really can't belleve that the sult against this company to recover the $25,000 tn- @urance on his life will be further pressed. “When we had established ground work for the theory that the man in Auburn prison was really Kimmel, I ook personal charge of the oase and began to pile up evidence to prove his identity. The more I investigated the more I became convinced that Kim- mell's relatives were conspiring. “They are charging that this company has paid witneases to perjure themselves in this case, That is false. This com- pany has not paid out @ penny except for the purpose of defraying the neces- @ary eapenses of witnesses when they were catia wpon to leave thelr home towns. RELATES THE INC:DENT THAT CLINCHED HIS BELIEF. “The incident which absolutely elinched my belief in the identity of Kimmell occurred tn the chaplatn's of- fice of the Aubufn Penitentiary a year exo. I had sent to Niles for Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fox, Mr. Fox ts a promi- ment merchant in the Michigan town and Mrs. Fox is Kimmell'’s first cousin, I did not tell Kimmel! that they were coming, nor did I tell the chaplain who they were. “We all ant in the office and when Kiminell came tn he !mmediately threw his arms around Mra, Fox's neck and Kissed her affectionately. She returned | his kisses and her husband took his hand and shook ft heartily. Both of them calred him ‘George.’ Ktmmell @tood for several minutes with his arm | @round Mrs. Fox and then, at my sug- gestion, he Introduced them both to the chaplain, giving thelr names cor- rectly. It is not reasonable to suppose that @ decent man would have permitted his | wife to be embraced by a convict in| his presence if he was not convinced | that the convict was what he claimed to be~a first cousin of hers. “When the case was Inst tried In St Louls we produced etght witnesses! who positively Identified the convict | White as Kimmel, but the jury agreed because of the attitude of the mother and elster, I suppose. If the ense comes up acain we expect to put Kimme!l hi f upon the stand, I am sure he will be willing to testif; though I don’t think it will be neces- fary, because I cannot belleve th the ease will be pressed.” 8AYS NO PROOF WAS OFFERED OF THE CEATH OF KIMMELL, Mr. Mcintosh said that no proof of had ever been of- fered, The claim was made simply unon the ground of seven years’ disappear ance which, the common law, considered to death, While the New York Life Insurance Company re- fused to pay the pol fn favor of Mre. lett, the sister, th pany dia pay a policy for $2,000, “You see," sald Mr. McIntosh, are not only eager for t they don't like to face the re having to pay back that § they have already collected, And jet me ask just one question, If this fan't George Kimmell who ts he? does he know the intimate facts 9 Georze Kimmell's early life and how is he able to ans\ that no one | Sut George Kimmel! himself could answer?” ‘ —— TOWN IS TURNING AGAINST MAN WHO SAYS HES KIMMET.| NILPS. ; ~ Greoting many old residents of Niles by their first names and recalling Incidents of , George | * of Auburn | prison, spent another day vainly try-| ing to prove that he {9 the man he rep-| resents himself to be Hig mother again declined to acknow! edge him as her son, and a bank who took a straw yote among the ness men of the town declared t} one in five belies Public sentiment in that seems to be changing, and to-day opinion is growing that the visitor is| Andrew White, the convict tenced from New York, and not Kimme! at all The town learned to-day the by which John M.
