SWINDLED
Bodies From Hospital Said OF

New York, Jan. lO.-The Evening Jour

sued for the arrest of four persons who
are accused of swindling the Colonial III

curing insurance on the lives OF persons
about TO die and by other methods.
The four men for whom warrants were
issued include newspaper editor, the
beneficiary under one policy, a medical
examiner. an undertaken and a prize
fighter, who acted as agent for the COM
pany. The Evening Journal says:
1t is said that the Colonial Insurance

that there has been a wholesale traffc
In dead bodies between Bellevue hospital
In this city and a certain undertaking
establishments I'm Union Hill. N. j.
Z The first clew TO the methods Of the
plotter was discovered shortly after the
death of one Thomas Moran. who died of
consumption I'm October of last pear
Moran had policy with the Colonial
Co, for SI0, and this sum was paid to
the beneficiary.
Just after the Death of Moran people
in Union Hill who had known the man
for years were surprised TO know that
he left Insurance. Moran had been suf-
fering with consumption for months be-
fore his policy was written.
Both paternal and maternal parents had
died OF tuberculosis ami there were other
deaths in the family from the same
cause.
When the insurance people had paid the
amount OF Moran's policy TO the benefi-
ciary. search of the company's books
was made and IL was discovered that
not one or two, but many policies had
been written for persons whose identity
was doubtful and many times entirely
lacking.
IL Is true dead bodies had been placed
in evidence whenever claims were made.
but IL has been discovered that these
were nothing more nor less than
common hospital bodies, which had
been brought into Union Hill
many OF them from Bellevue, for the
purpose OF aiding insurance swindlers In
obtaining their piunder.
