Gage TarbeII Called.

Gage Z. Tarbell, second vice presi-
dent of the Equitable society. was
called when Mr.. McCurdy had finished.
He told of his connection with the
Equitable. which has continued TWEEN
ty-six years. Mr.. Tarbell said he knew
nothing of the memoranda given by
Mr.. Jordan to A. G. Fields. He did not
know Fields and knew only that he
looked after the legislation in New York
for the Mutual He had conferences
with representatives of other COM
panies relative TO legislative matters
and endeavOred in 1908 to have a COM
mittee of one appointed 10 look after
the interests of policy-holders that
would be affected by any bills in the
legislature that would be inimical. He
knew indirectly that Andrew Hamilton
had been employed. He was of the
opinion that no company should have
an expense in connection with legis-
latiVe matters. He never knew of d
dollar being expended in that way. He
took the position that if improper leg
isiatiOn could not be defeated by rem
edlal means the company should refuse
TO do business in the state MIR. Nc
Call of the New York Life agreed with
him and the Mutual Life was ap-
preached TO come to some agreement
on this subject. but the Mutual would
not go into such a combination on the
ground that it was not practical.

HIS MEMORY
Continued from PAGE /.

like proceedings against the New York
Life and the Mutual Life were termi-
mated about the same time as those
against the Equitable society. There
were a dozen hearings on the inter-
pretations OF one OF the California
laws. and il Was for representation in
these hearings that the $3.50 a month
was paid. Mr.. Budd. while in New
York, consulted almost entirely with
Mr.. Chickering Witness said he
thought Governor Budd appointed Mr..
Ciunie as commissioner. He did not
think the man TO whom the $3.50 a
month was paid did anything for the
Equitable society.

prayed for mercy for his past sins. and
stated that he had committed burg

History Of the Crime.

The crime for which the four men
were convicted was committed in Hum
boldt county in August, 1903. For
months a reign of terror had prevailed
In that section on account of acts of
bands of thugs who rode up and down
the railroad line robbing trainmen and
citizens. Public feeling was at an in
tense pitch when Jack Welch was
robbed and shot 10 death on a freight
train by four men, and it was with diff
ticulty that the people were prevented
from lynching German, Sevener, Lin
derman and Roberts after their arrest
by the officers and their identification
by the dying Welch.
The men were tried twice in the low
er courts, once at Winnemucca and the
second time at Reno. the supreme
court setting the first verdict aside.
Another appeal was taken. but a re-
hearing was denied. Efforts to secure
a Communication of sentence by the
board Of pardons also failed.
SeVener, As years OF age, was a ma
rine engineer and had served terms in
California and Washington peniten-
tiaries for robbery German. whose
real name was O'Brien, was a san
Francisco linotype operator. Roberts.
whose name was Fred Reidt, was q ST.

known as Williams, was from Stock
