Jl'CCLED WITH CIS CHECK Nearly a Million ol the Policy Hold ers' Money is Alleged to Have Been Loaned To The Bankrupt Chicago ft Milwaukee Road. ' CHICAGO, Oct 30.-Atbert !M. Johnson,- head of the National Life Insurance 1 Company of the United in a hearing before Master in Chan cery Zeisler yesterday, told how a $1,000,000 check was juggled by him and his associates at the time they ac quired the charter of the company. ' M"r. Johnson revealed the facts while undergoing cross-examination by Attorney D. K, Tone in the action whkh has been brought to restrain Gustar Myers, life insurance under writer, from' circulating a pamphlet attacking ' the company's financial standing. The deal whereby A. C. Frost, promoter of the bankrupt Chi cago & Milwaukee Electric Com pany used 082,000 of the insurance company's funds bn' security alleged to be inadequate for the protectfoa of-the stockholders an si policy h"i dcri was the subject for further in quiry.:' ,-:- "Ifow much did the present-company that you are now operating un der a charter from the state of Il linois, pay in 1902 or at any time for the assets and business of the Na tional Life Insurance Company i.f the United States of America, the corporation chartered by Congress for Jay Cooke in 186S?" asked Mr. Tone. GALEY SIX : "Just $1,000,000, was the price," answered Johnson. ' "Was the payment made by check or -cash?"' - ... - "' ''- "By check, on the Federal Trust & Savings Bank - - ' ' "Is it not a fact that you, as an officer of one insurance company, drew1 a check for $1,000,000 to be paid to yourself, and that the payment of $1,000,000 was made by the ruse of arranging with the Federal Trust & Savings Bank for the nominal use of the $1,000,000 for a few hours T ask ed Attorney Tone. ;f'v r "Well the check was signed by me and by one other officer of each com pany," Mr. Johnson answered. "As a matter of fact, no money ever passed in the so-called pay ment?" the lawyer persisted. : h "The plan was to buy up the old Company with the $1,000,000 pay ment, which $1,000,000 was to be turned over to the old company as a dividend,"' "'''" ' ' "Was that done?" :"""Yes." ,;-;.'-,;'- "Did not the so-called payment of $1,000,000 Instantly ffnd its way back into the hands of you and your as sociates through' this arrangement with the bank?" .,, , ,,, . " "Everything that was done was it cording to the prearranged ;p!;i.i " for the purcha." . , "How much money did you or the purchasing company h?ve on deposit in-this bank at the time the purchase was made?" The question was objected to by Attorney L A. Siebbins for Johnson and sustained on the ground that the private business.' was. not under in vestigation. The national Life Insur ance Company of the United States was organized under the act of Con gress for the. benefi of Jay Cooke, the Civil War financier, in 1863. If e operated it until 1872 when his fail ure forced him to dispose of it. The next owner was the late Hen ry Furber of Chicago, a well known real estate man. In , the' early nine ties Furber sold the charter and busi ness to O. D. Wetherell, former city controller of Chicago, Wetherell sold it to the present owners, Albert M, Johnson and E.
