by - the ' joint- legislative committee to
clear up. the mystery of tba $100,000
paid to "A. Hamilton' by check In '

' He will also be asked to explain by'
what . authority tha -' money of ' tha '

waa used to Influence the election of

That the two -checks for (46.000 and .

were used' to Influence legislation In
Albany haa been mads very clear by a
careful review of tba connectiona of "A. :

f 1 That JohnaMcCallwUi be able to
ciear up xnis maner very luuy, ir ne
will, la deduced from the fact that the
prealdent of the New, York JJfe Insur
ance company has a complete familiar
ity with the methods at Albany, gained
by several years of experience at tha
state capital. He was state superin
tendent of Insurance when he was
elected by the New York Life Insurance
company a one of Its off Iclala and he
brought to that company an amount of
knowledge of -the political branchea of
inaurance administration far mora val
uable han the knowledge he had gained
of mere actuarial matters. , ...
. That be would underestimate the Im- '
portance of keeping in close, touch with
Albany wag hardly to be believed an i
recognising this, those who have fol
lowed closely the Investigation Into tho
$100,000 expenditure In - the- spring of
1004 at once connected thlls voucher with
the very active work 'that waa dona in

"' These facta Brand out clearly in thla
regard; ' Tba "A. Hamilton" to whom
tha check waa made payable la known
to be Andrew Hamilton, a lawyer n(

the Nam York Life Insurance 'company
for Id years. . Ha la connected by mar
riage as well as business ties with Mr.
licCail of tbs New York Life.. and. with
"General" Wood of Albany and Anthonv
Brady. - Mr. Brady's son recently mar
rltd-tha rtangbrar of irHawlltoBrMr.
Brady married "General Wood's sister
and the little circle became ail tba more
complete through these alliances.
The influence of Eugene D. Wood in
legislative matters In Albany la a mat
ter of common knowledge, but it had
been known to a mora restricted number
that Judge Hamilton for many years
has wielded" an - Influence' even greater
than that of Wood. .- . - -
It Is said that Andrew Hamilton has
been on the New York Life Insurance
company's payroll at tha salary of $10,000
a year for a long time paat. thla fee be
ing a yearly legal retainer of the same

Many excellent reasons for . sending
$100,000 to Judge Hamilton in March, 1904.
can be found by a review of tha bills .
Introduced In the Albany legislature at
that time and hanging in the committee
of both bouses. There were In sll fifty
bills before the assembly and senate in '
that month., many of them threatening
tha grafting Interests of the insurance '
