At their recent trials for perjury, both
CASE and LAMBERT cndeavored to excuse them
selves for making oath to false and fraudulent
annual exhibits Of the financial condition of the
lifc insurance companies of which they were
severally President. on the alleged ground that
they did not personally know what the real facts
were and relied upon subordinate officers and
clerks TO furnish the details from which the ex-
hibits were made. There may have been
foundation for these excuses: but they were
not accepted by the Courts rs an adequate de-
fence to the charge Of perjury. nor. indeed. as
any defence at all. The Judges who presided
ut the trials ruled that CASE and LAMBERT were
bound to inform themselves personally concern
Ing the details of the exhibits. and that isno-
rance arising from failure TO make duo inquiry
was not legal excuse for false swearing.
This warning lesson should be needed and rs
the time i Just at hand when the officers Of COM
panies must make oath 10 their financial condi-
ton. they should carefully inquire into the facts,
So that they can swear according 20 then own
personal knowledge. Tho law holds them to
that. and 1t will be- satisfied with nothing less.
