envelope addressed to Mr.. OSullivan
the envelope being large one. He
did not see the envelore mailed. Mi,
| sullivan came in later in the after"
noon of the same day and went into Mr,
| ColSrove's office, and witness did not
see him have conversation with any
one. Mr., OSullvan stayed only few
minutes. Witness thought that the Wis
| it of Mr.. O'Sullivan had nothing to do
| with the renewal of policy.
| Witness later saw something in print
which he thought was similar in nature
| to the extract which he saw Mrs. Rob
erts copying.
Mr.. Phelps said that he had asked all
| the questions suggested by Mr.. Deming
and had exhausted all the points to
which Mr. Deming had called his atten-
| ton and had expected Mr. Deming to
be present and suggest further. In an
swer to questions by Mr.. Kenealy, wit
ness said that it was not unusual for
| him to get checks cashed for Mr.. Col
grove and that there was nothing I'M
| usual in the amount of the two checks
which he had reference to. The article
similar to the one he saw being copied
| which he mentioned as having seen in
print later was in the Sunday Globe.
Witness could not say why he remem-
bered the dates of the cashing of these
two checks since there was nothing re-
markable about his being given checks
to get cashed.
Mr. Kenealy-"You had no reason at
III b. loa1;o
any of this money!" ..
Il did not see him get any of it,
"Did the Insurance company carry an
account of it's own?"
Eyes, sir.
''Mr. Colgrove's account was sepa-
rate?"
Eyes, SIR
HE was in the habit of sending out
his own checks to be cashed?"
Yes, sir: l cashed them"
The witness was then excused. At
torney ONeil of Waterbury stated that
he had matter for Mr.. Clark who
he said makes some very serious
charges"
Mr. O'Neil then handed to the COM
mittee a resolution which he asked the
COIIlHllllGG 10 recruitment W lIlt fCliNldi
assembly for passage He said that if
the resolution was passed by the as
sembly he would produce some interest
ing testimony.
In the resolution after reference to the
subject matter of the suit against the
Aetna Life company and the settlement
of the suit, it is alleged that 'the Aetna
Life Insurance company paid to Henry
Alloway, the owner and controller of he
New Haven Palladium and the financial
editor of the New York Times the sum
of $4,000"
Further along in the preamble of the
resolution it is stated that it is impor-
tant to the policy holders in the mutual
department of the Aetna Life Insurance
company and for the people of Connec-
ticut to know whether the earnings
which belong to the policy holders in
the mutual department can be lawfully
diverted into the treasury of the stock
department by the officers who control
both departments, 1t is alleged that the
insurance commissioner prepared re-
port showing that the Connecticut In
demnity company was insolvent and
that knowledge of this report having
been obtained by the officers of the In
demnity company, statement was
made to them by Mr., Alloway to the
effect that the report would be changed |
upon the payment to Mr.. Alloway of
49, 500, and that majority Of the direc-
tors of the Indemnity company voted to |
give Mr.. Alloway $1,000 providing the |
report was changed. 1t is then alleged |
in the preamble of the resolution that |
Colonel John B. Doherty, secretary of |
the Indemnity company prepared re-
port of the financial standing of said |
showing it to be in a sound
financial condition and that this report
was substituted for the report already
made by the insurance commissioner
and that thereupon $1,000 was paid by
the Indemnity company to Mr.. Allo-
way.
The resolution then provides for the
appointment by the governor of a COM
mfttee of three to investigate and report
to this assembly or to the next general
assembly whether any sums of money
were unlawfully diverted as claimed
and to investigate and report whether
$50, 900 was paid by the Aetna company
to Mr.. AlloWay or to any other per-
sons for him, for his benefit or for his
also to investigate and re-
port whether the insurance commits
;ioners report in relation to the Con-
1ecticut Indemnity association was
changed or altered, as alleged, and by
whom and for what reasons and whether
my money was paid therefor.
The resolution then seeks to authorize
lo ~ b.
ooenas for witnesses, and to compel
heir attendance and to compel the pro-
luction of books papers and letters or
,ther documents and to empower the
committee to take dispositions in New
York and in other parts of the country,
because it is feared that witnesses now
living in New York will go to other parts
# the country rather than give testj-
nony concerning the facts above set
ORTIZ"
Another provision of the resolution is
o authorize the committee to invcsti-
ate any other frauds, corruptions or
in the insurance depart
lent of Connecticut. In the last sec
