MIR. HAMILTON'S ACCOUNTS
 NOT SUBJECT TO AUDIT.

MT. Hughes asked if he knew of any reason why MT. Hamilton should keep this money and MT. Mccall replied he might be entitled to it by reason of a contract he took to recover $300000 in taxes from the state of New York by which he was to receive one-third. This recovery was made in the United States supreme court in 1904.
 An order signed by Mir. Mccall, Decem- Der, 1903, was produced ordering the pay ment of s50000 to Judge Hamilton, bearing the clause: If he cannot close his count before the first of the year." and stating that with this he would take up $25 600 already advanced by check.
 MT. Mccall said this payment was made to Hamilton on account of the deal involy- ing the contemplated foreclosure on the Bennett property.
 MT. Hughes
 No"
 why not?"
 "On March 2s, 1904" said MT. Mccall. "Mr. Hamilton went over with me the ac- counts he had with the company which he had not yet accounted for. Altogether there was $235.000 in these accounts and by my order the account was transferred to the home office annex account.
 After more than an hours questioning, MT. Hughes brought out that MT. Ham1l- ton renders no account of money of the New York Life Insurance company, ana is not subject to audit.
 MT. Mccall, replying to MT. Hughes, said that MT. Hamilton attended the state legislature in the interest of the New York Life Insurance company. He said money was furnished MT. Hamilton for

CHILD FOUND AND

When the mother of pretty little Annie Martin, who' resides with her parents in the vicinity of Avenue D and Fifteenth street, called up the police station yes terday to report that her little girl was missing from home, Mrs. W. C. Agee Of Twelfth avenue, south. between Eigh- teenth and Nineteenth streets, was report ing to the police that she had found the child in front of her home.
 "It was a coincidence,' said Acting Desk Sergeant Murphy.
 "The moment I told Mrs. Agee- that would endeavor to locate the mother of the child and hung up the receiver, the bell rang again. and the speaker at the other end of the line said her name was Mrs. Martin.
 I've lost a little girl she said.
 "I know where she is,' I replied, and then I told her about the report I had just received. I learned later that there was happy reunion in the Martin home"

regular expenses. Mir Mccall received no vouchers therefore and never had.
 Aside from the s25,0O0 quarterly retainer to MT. Hamilton, MT. Mccall said the company paid about s100,O00 year to MT. Hamilton for legal services. He de- nied that he ever gave MT. Hamilton money to influence any member of the legislature or that he advised any such course. Taking up the campaign contri- buttons, Mir Mccall said In 1896 he con trIbuted to the defeat of the silver plat form not to the defeat the democratic party In other cases of campaign contri- buttons, MT. Mccall preferred to char acterize them as contributions to the support of the gold platform rather than to the republican national committee. He denied that any contributions had been made to either state or municipal cam paigns at any time. He assumed the en- fIra raaponqibi1ftV

TAKES UP DETAILS
 OF THE TRANSACTION.

MT. Hughes then took up every one of the real estate transactions of the com pany in enlarging the home office. Upon each one MT. Mccall was questioned separately in an attempt to find for just what plot each of the nine checks was paid.
 MT. Mccall stated that on April 22, 1904 the company acquired land adjoining it's home office building at the price of $125 000 This, he said, was paid for in two checks, one for $12O0OO and the other for $5000. The former to MT. Hamilton and the latter to MT. Goldlng.
 The minutes of the special meeting of the finance committee March 16 1904, au- thorizing the president and treasurer to negotiate and buy the property for the extension was read.
 "Then the transaction had not been be- fore the finance committee before March, 1904?" asked Mr Hughes.
 Not formally; it was before several meetings without formal action," said MT. Mccall.
 The plots of land bought and payments for each having been identified. MT. Hughes said that there was still the s100000 in MT. Hamitons hands. Mr. Hughes wanted to know why the New York Life Insurance company should leave such a sum in the hands of Mir Hamilton. Mir Mccall said the purpose was to enable MT. Hamilton to be in 8 position to supply any moneys MT. Gold ing might require.
 But MT. Hamilton did not pay MT. Golding any money" said MT. Hughes.
 'No he did not need any"
 Checks for s75,000 to MT. Hamilton in December. 1908, were also produced. They, too, did not come before the finance com mittee, nor any officer of the company except MT. Mccall. who ordered the sig natures of the treasurer and assistant treasurer.
 This check was paid MT. Hamilton on account of the foreclosure of a mortgage on the Bennett building which was finally not used. MT. Mccall then said MT. Hamilton had never made any account ing of these moneys and said he had caused an entry on the journal that s5,- GOO, $55. 900. s75.000 and 600O0 be charged to expense account. MT. Hamilton. he said had this money and he was sure 1t would be paid on demand of the New York Life Insurance company. ''1f it is not" said MT. Mccall, "I am responsible and I'll pay 1t

 Different cities, counties or states re- quire different certificates, and Dr. Hark- ness, owing to his various official capaei- ties, can sign all that may be required.
 The service will be under MT. Morgan, and MT. Foster will remain at the sta- tion from early in the morning until late at night. in order to be at the sta- tion before leaving time for every train. He is thoroughly acquainted with the requirements of all cities, towns and states, and is considered the most avail able man for the place.

HAD KNOWN HAMILTON
 SINCE TEN YEARS OLD.

He said he had known Andrew Hamil- ton since he was ten years old. He was no relative either by blood or by mar riage. He had been connected with the company since 1892, in the trial of the Pierce pension case, where he represent ed the company in the defense of that case. He continued as advisor and counsel on a retainer, not salary. The first two years this was $200O This was ahout 1896 or 1s97 He has remained in that capacity except that his duties were extended.

 No"

 Taking up the $100000 in checks sent to Albany, MT Mccall said in answer to MT. Hughes that he gave them to Ham, ilton. He said in 1903 the company deter mined to buy the block in the rear of the home office in this city. He senb for real estate agent to take up the subject quietly, as the New York Life Insurance company was not to be known in the transaction. In December, 19s3 the real estate man reported he thought the block could be procured for S1100,000 and that 15 per cent of this should be available quickly,
