FRAUD ALLEGED.
Charges Against a President of a Life
Insurance Company.

DETROIT, Mich, May 10.-A sensational
suit In which an accounting of the Michi-
gan Mutual Life Insurance Company and
the removal Of President Oscar II. LOCKER
are prayed for. was begun in the Wayne
Cifcuit Court this afternoon. The COM
plainants are ex-Vice President Joseph w.
Dusenbery. of this city. ct al. Several Of
ticers and directors OF the company are
made party defendants with the presi-
dent. The bill alleges that for ten years
past President LOCKER has made false
statements concerning the companys af-
fairs. reporting the valuation of its real
estate, for instance, at valuation largely
in excess of its market value. IL Is charged
that mortgages taken TO secure future
premiums on life insurance policies have
been treated as assets. without any counter
charge in the accounts of policyhodcrs or
otherwise; also that reports made TO the
State Insurance Commissioners have en-
bodied policies which had long since cx-
pired. Various other charges are made
against President LOCKER. to the effect that
he has manipulated the companys busi-
ness in his own interests and with intent
to defraud the stockholders. An investi-
CATION and accounting is prayed for.

BEFORE THE JURY.
simple. Convincing Remarks That at
Once Command Attention.

''If il please your Honor and gentle
men of the jury said General Harrison,
II congratulate you that you are so near
the end OF your severe labor in this most
protracted case. You have for more than
four months surrendered all your per-
sonal occupation and interests, and have
given yourselves with fathfulness and
patience, yes, / may even say with forti-
tude, to the discharge of labors which in
volve none of your interests whatever.
save as your interests were sacrificed Some
of you have sat here in this jury box with
anxious hearts-for there was sickness at
home. Some of you have held your places
here while you yourselves were the vic
Tins of disease: and the confinement of
your position the vitiated atmosphere of
the room in which you sat- perhaps seri
ously raised the question whether you
might not be sacrificing your lives to this
public duty. / have never before addressed
a Wayne county jury; / probably may
never do so again. l have not the tongue
of flatterer. ] am more apt TO restrain
the expressions of my appreciation than to
give such sway TO them as ii may appear
to be nattery; and yet / would be unjust to
myself if l did not say that in all my pro-
fessional experience / have never sat be-
lore or addressed a jury any NUeTt tndl

much trial, to give such a patient and i'm.
partial and serious attention 10 the duty
assigned TO them. This case has been la
borious TO counsel but they have their ex-
pectation of suitable reward. To you and
to his Honor who has been called from his
professional engagements TO preside in this

this time probably would be willing to ao
cept any iair compromise in view of thi
necessities Of the times and TO postpone
further demands until the people could b
heard at the polls.
