HARTFORD, Conn.,. Jan. 95.-Colonel ia.
cob Greene, president Of the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company, Of this
city, has issued a circular informing the
pollcy-holders that Joseph 4. Moore, for
sixteen years financial! correspondent of
the company at Indianapolis, Ind, is q
oeiaulter 20 the amOun OF about half q
million dollars. but has restored proper.
" which may reduce the actual loss to
Tour undred thousand dollars. and that
In any event the loss will not affect the
solvency or impair the dividends OF the
company, which is very prosperous, and
will pay a larger dividend this year than
last, while probably increasing its al.
ready large surplus. The forthcoming
annual report will show solid assets
amounting to ffty-seven million dollars,
with a surplus OF about FIVE and one.
quarter million dollars.
Mr.. Moore has hitherto enjoyed the IN.
limited confidence OF the company. Dur.
ing the past week ar investigation OF his
accounts was made, revealing the deral-
cation. This is the only loss through a
financial correspondent experienced by
the company during its forty-three years
existence In An interview Mr.. Greene
said that Mr.. Moore was a leading citizen

old He had been specializing. The
defalcation was Of three kinds: principal

purpose and rents of real estate in his

difficulties OF the borrowers, who were

in real estate values dating from the
panic in 1873. He RENTED interest
and small payments Of principal from
time 10 time in accordance with his repre-.
sensations that the unfortunate borrowers
were struggling to do all they could.
These moneys came out Of his
own pocket or rather ont o. his
~stealingS. He devised narrowing
tales and kept the company

vidual alleged cases. and thus prevented
foreclosure proceedings. Occasionally hs
