Jl'CCLED WITH CIS CHECK
Nearly a Million ol the Policy Hold

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.

: "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. A, Shedd and asso
ciates. This was in 1902,
"You know 'Death Valley Scott?"
"I know a man named Walter
Scott, of California." ,
"Were you and this man Scott of
Death Valley, Cal, ever held up and
robbed on a trip between Chicago
and California?", ;
"Never." .' ,V ',.. .-
"It is not a fact that you denied to
a Chicago newspaperman that you
knew Scott, when at - that very time
Scott was in your house here in Chir
cago'ias your guest?"
"I made evasive answers to a
newspaper man." ,
"Did you ever invest money in any
of the speculations or enterprises in
which Death Valley Scott was inter
ested." ' '-. - '. ' v.'
