THE LATEST THING IN TRUSTS

Charleston, South Carolina, is entitled to
whatever credit attaches to the invention of
quite the latest thing in trusts. The trust has
unfortunately become the subject of criminal
prosecution, and the enterprisng trusters hav-
ing made some frank confessions appear to be
in some danger of the penitentiary. The
Charleston trust was decidedly out of the COM
mon way 1t was corpse trust" in fact. A
number OF apparently respectable people, in
Guiding some doctors, are charged with con-
spiracy TO defraud life insurance companies by
obtaining insurance policies upon fictitious per-
sons and then procuring bodies from the Pot
tiers Field and employing them in fabricating
evidence oil death to be used in realizing the
insurance on the dummy policies 1t would
seem that when so many people were con-
cerned and so much had to be done in the way
of formaities the danger Of detection must
have been constant and great yet the corpse
trust" appears to have fourished for two or
three years, and to have yielded in the aggre-
gate upward Of thirty thousand dollars for the
"trustn
Probably the policies were made out for
such moderate amounts as companies would be
apt to pay without suspicion and this may ac-
count for the success of the fraud during so
long period. Naturally the exposure came
out at last, and when il did come the impi-
Gated parties made but feeble defence, and
presently acknowledged their guilt. This is
the newest application of the trust principle.
Insurance companies have often enough been
swindled by impostors, but the latter have
hitherto played clone hands" The extension
of the trust system to swindling generally is,
OF course, one of the events to be anticipated,
and it is little surprising that it has not oc-
Cured before. A corpse trust,v however,
does not constitute the most felcitous kind of
introduction for the new method of industrial
cooperation, and the fate Of the experiment at
Charleston may have a somewhat deterrent in
fiuence upon " crooked" operations tending in
any way toward graveyard insurance. II
must, however, be admitted that the Charles
ton operators were milder in their methods than
some epterprisng criminals few years ago
who formed the plan of insuring people only to
kill them. Resort to the Potter's Field for evil
dence Of death is certainly less Objectionable
than that
