RECEIVER WINS INSURANCE SUIT.

Richard E. Howell, who embezzled the
funds Of the Millyille Stock Building
Association and caused the wreck Of that
concern, was transferred from the county
Jail to the State Prison at Trenton, on We'd
nesday morning Of last week, where he will
serve a four years sentence.
Before he left Mr.. Howell appeared in
the Cumberland County Courts as the star
witness in one of the most remarkable cases
that has been tried in the Court for many
years. In 1859 the Nlillyille Mutual Marine
and Fire Insurance Company was organized
and Howell was one of its ineorporators.
He was also its secretary. The company
operated upon the premium note plan, each
person insured giving note for about ten
per cent. Of the amount Of the insurance
policy.
In 1885 the company became hopelessly
iusolvent and former Mayor Thes. Whitaker,
of MiIlville, was appointed receiver. Eight
years afterward he made an assessment on
the premium notes, which had been given
previous to the date Of the insolvency. The
The assessment was made payable in March
1894. Six years later. or fourteen years
after the decree Of insolvency had been
issued, Thomas E. French, Camden law
yer, who had succeeded Mr.. Whitaker as
the receiver, brought 500 suits in the Courts
upon this assessment Meanwhile, many
Of the original creditors and policy -holders
have died, and the suits now pending are
against the heirs Of the original note giyers.
In the trial Of the test cases the receiver
was obliged to rely almost wholly upon
Howell to fix the authenticity Of the origi-
nal notes given while be was secretary. The
aged prisoner showed memory of remark
able power, and upon his evidence the
Court ordered the jury to give verdicts for
the receiver All of the cases will be
carried to the Court Of Errors and Appeals,
Walter Fl Bacon, Of Bridgeton, having
been engaged to defend the 500 suits.
