cause he could not insist that his ad-
vice on the purchase or sale of Sc

Schiff said that there was no place
for the finance committee. as the ex-
ecutive committee took the Initiative
in all investments and there was an
auditing committee with powers
equaling those of the finance commit

CONSCIENTIOUS WITNESS
AS a Director of the Equitable He
Would Not Give Advice in Transac-
tions With Another Company OF
Which He Was the Head.

New York, Sept 29.-Jacob H.
Schiff, head of the firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., bankers, formerly a di-
rector of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society, was the first witness
called before the legislative insur-
ance investigation committee today.
Schiff said that he became a director
of the Equitable Society late in 1888
or early in 1894. His firm had deal
ings with the Society a quarter of
a century prior to that time. He was
advised that there was nothing to
prevent his firm from properly main
tanning such relations. He was a di-
rector for several years before he
became a member of the finance com
mittee
Schiff stated that the Equitable
was in the hands of executive orf1-
GERS, and that-he~had- no way of
knowing more than those officers
chose to tell him. He refused an
election to membership in the exec
utive committee because of his rela-
tions to the Society. He thought it
would be improper for him as a mem
ber of the executive committee to
pass upon any dealings of his firm
with the Society. He was qualified
as director by shares transferred
to him by Mr.. Hyde, upon which Mr.
Hyde drew dividends. His position

Pleaded Guilty of Murder.

A singular situation in criminal
matters, developed at the arraignment
of Samuel K. Swearlngen, alias Love,
before the superior court last Wednes
day. Love is accused with Clarence
T.. Murphy, of the murder of Mrs.
Phoebe Williams, and her grandson,
Chester K. Maker, in Lanaha PIana
in June last. Love has made a con-
fession, in writing, of his connection
with the crimes, which is in the
hands of the officers. At the meeting
of the grand jury called specially to
look into the matter. both were for
mally indicted for murder. Love
has made no attempt to secure an
attorney to conduct his defense.
When brought before the court We'd
nesday he was asked if he had any
attorney, that if not the court would
appoint one for him. He replied that
he bad none and did not want any,
saying L don't see that all attorney
can do any good. He appeared
ready to make a plea of guilty,
which in this case would leave the
court no other alternative, if accept
ed of passing the death sentence.
The court would not permit this,
and continued the arraignment until
this morning, stating that if he had
not an attorney by that time, the
court would appoint one.
This morning the court appointed
ID. b. SpagnoIi as his counsel.
Defendant still insisted upon enter,
ing plea ot'guilty, and Monday next
evidence will be taken to determine
the grade of the murder.
