FORMER GOV. BUDD EXPLAINS
Says He Was Not in Office When He
Went East
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-Former
Governor James H. Budd said tonight
in reference to the testimony of Sam
uel S. McCurdy before the insurance
investigation at New York:
From the statements made by Mr..
McCurdy the presumption might arise
that / had gone to New York while
still holding the office of governor.
did not go east until 1900 or 1901, which
was a couple of years after my term
of office had expired. 1 went to New
York as an attorney connected with an
investigation of insurance matters.
This inquiry had been in progress for
many years and arose partly through
an effort to straighten legal insurance
tangles in California. There was no
secrecy about my trip. The newspa-
pers dwelt upon it rather fully at the
time. The investigation included sew
eral companies, and one in particu-
lar"
(Which one?" was asked.
THAT 1 do not feel at liberty to
say"
did the compensation for your serv-
ices as attorney come from the insur-
ance companies?"
'I understood So" replied Mr.. Budd.
Have you any objection to stating
the amount?"
"I have. All that I will say is that
the amount was not enough
When asked for a definite statement
of the nature of the investigation he
was making Mr.. Budd said that he
did not feel privileged to do so, as it
concerned other persons than himself,
and he felt obligated to consult with
such persons before giving the infor-
| nation.
When asked If he had ever heard of
money being paid to State Insurance
Commissioner Clunie, either directly
or indirectly Mr.. Budd answered in
the negative.
IT am now attending to some Ne
vada litigation" concluded the former
governor, "and expect to wind it up
in December. IF the New York COM
mission then wants my testimony l
will be very glad to give It."

The murder took place in the Japanese

sioner knew II was practically impos-
sible for the society to answer because
its books were not kept so as to do this.
This, the witness said, was practically
re-hash Of the demands that the
commissioner had made previously.
Witness said the company had had no
like experience with the insurance de-
partment of any other state to his per-
sonal knowledge and that like proceed
ings against the New York Life and
the Mutual Life were terminated about
the same time as those against the
Equitable society. There were a dozen
hearings on the Interpretation of one

representations in these hearings that
the $3.50 a month twas paid. Former
Governor Budd, while in New York,
consulted almost entirely with Mr..
Chickering, Witness said he thought
Governor Budd appointed Mr.. Clunie as
commissioner. He did not think the
man to whom the $3.50 month was
paid did anything for the Equitable
society.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-11-18
How Much Was Paid to 5udd7

"Do you know how much of these
moneys was paid to Governor BuddV'
asked counsel for the commission.
Mr.. McCurdy said he did not know
and that to his knowledge no account
ing of disbursements was made by Mr..
Chickering. Mr.. McCurdy said he went
to California but did not meet Mr..
CIunie. to whom the $3.50 was paid in
all the six weeks he was there. The
New York Life and the Mutual were
also paying $3.50 a month to the same
man for the same service rendered the
Equitable, said the witness.
Another demand which the witness
said Mr.. Clunle made was that a COM
plete set of the Equitable society
books be kept at the offices of the San
Francisco agency, which would have
cost the society about $4,000 He also
said that under the law of California
the commissioner could have taken his
$33, 900 fee from the Equitable society
upon making his proposed valuations
of it's policies.
The states generally do not make
| independent examinations of the New
York company, Mr.. McCurdy said:
Missouri once demanded 1t, but at
the request of the society had accept

sofa made such valuation four or

Equitable, which has continued twen-

directly that Andrew Hamilton had

While Mr. Tarbell was testifying

able. Senator Depew could throw no

EquitabIe's Registrar Testlfies

Samuel S. McCurdy, assistant regis
trar of the Equitable society, was next
called. He had formerly been secretary
to Secretary VIM. A. Alexander of the
society. AS assistant registrar he had
custody of vouchers for money paid
out for legal expenses. He produced
the vouchers for such expenses for the
last ten years. On the vouchers for
1895 was a letter to James w. AleXan-
der from Robert H. McCurdy of the
Mutual Life Insurance company, which
accompanied a bill for the Equitable s
share of the salary and expenses of
George A. Batcheller as "Plenary legal
representative" of the Equitable So
ciety, New York Life company and
Mutual Life Insurance company. The
salary of Mr.. Batcheller from this COM
binaton was given in statement as
$77,7O0. 1t was brought out that Mr..
Batcheller's duties were abroad.
The packages of vouchers for pay
ment for legal services in various state
legislatures were gone through by Mr..
Hughes, who asked as to the legal
services rendered by the signers of the
various vouchers.
The witness did not shed much light
on the vouchers.
Mr.. McCurdy said that $3.50 a month
had been paid to special counsel to rep
resent the Equitable society before the
commission appointed by Insurance
Commissioner of California Clunie in
1900, demanded that the society make
a list of it's outstanding policies, at the
suggestion Of e. S. Pillsbury, the So
cietys regular attorney, who had told
the witness it was paid to a brother of
the insurance commissioner. The total
amount paid in that way was $4,000.
The witness said also that approximate
ly $17500 was paid to w. H. Chickering
of California, coAnSel for the Mutual
Life Insurance company. AT the close
of 1899, when the Equitable society filed
its annual statement with the Califor-
mia insurance department, the commits
