ATTORNEY W|CKES
IS FOUND GUILTY
Most Peculiar Case in Criminal
Annals of Gotham
LIVED A DOUBLE LIFE
WROTE ALLEGED BLACkMAiLiNG
ADVISING SETTLEMENT OF
CASE IN WHICH HE
WAS LAWYER.

New York, Dec. 7.--Thomas p
Wickes. a prominent attorney and for
mer Assistant COOPERATION Counsel,
today was found guilty of blackmail
in the criminal branch of the supreme
court. He was remanded for sentence
next week.
The case of Wickes IS one Of the
most peculiar in the criminals annals
of the city, and the man himself has
come to be known as the "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde" of the legal profession.
While occupying a prominent place
among his fellows in the legal pro-
fession ANA enjoying a high reputation
it has been learned that under the
name of Lewis Jarvis which he as
sumed for the purpose. Wickes wrote
hundreds of letters to persons who
were interested in cases with which
he was connected Nearly all of the
letters were confined entirely to praise
of Wickes, the man, and his ability
in the legal profession. Clients were
congratulated upon having obtained
the services of so able a gentleman,
and prospective clients were advised
to retain Wickes at any cost. Some of
the letters however, had other ends in
view, and it was one of these which
resulted in the undoing of Wickes. To
Dr. Edward Weston, of Newark, N. j,
several of these Lewis Jarvis letters
were written advising Or. Weston to
settle a certain litigation against him
self by paying several thousand dol
lars. The letters evidently were writ
ten by some one outside, intimate
with the case.
Wickes was found out and arrested
when he went 10 n postoffice for LETT
ters addressed to Dr. Louis Jarvis,
During the last trial he admitted he
was the writer of the letters.
Wicles' counsel set up in the de-
fense the argument that there was no
attempt at blackmail in the letters.

JEROME LIABLE
TO TAKE A HAND
Possible Criminal Action Grow
ing Out of Life Insurance
ASKS FOR THE REPORTS
MONEY PAID WIDOW OF DEAD
PRESIDENT AS COMMiS-
SlONS ON ALL POLICIES
OF MUTUAL.

New York, Dec 7-AtJetion was
nal action growing out of the investi
cation of life insurance methods by a
visit paid by District Attorey jerome
to the legislative committee while II
was holding its hearing in the city
hall today JeroWe said he wanted to
find out when he could get possession
of a copy of the report of the commit
tee Chairman Armstrong already has
said that he hopes to have it ready
for the legislature when it meets next
January
One of the points brought into the
days hearing was the fact that the
Mutual Reserve company had paid
$f34,ooo to the widow Of Edward 3.
Harper, former president of that COM
pany since Harper's death in 1895.
The money is derived from commits
sions which Harper drew on all bust
ness written by the company His
widow, who has since remarked, con-
tinues to receive the commissions.
Incidental to this inquiry the com
mittee discovered an instance in
which $4,000 had been paid President
Burnham Of the Mutual Reserve in
1896 and concerning which Vive Presi-
dent George d. Eldredge of that com
pany testified he knew nothing. The
bookkeeper who made the payment
from the contingent fund, said he did
not know what il was paid for.
Affairs Of the Security Mutual Of
Binghampton, New York, again were
under investigation today
One of the interesting facts brought
out was a statemDet of President Tur-
ner of that company, that he had en-
pl0yed a few years ago u. II. Keefer
one Of the clerks in the office of the
superintendent of insurance at Al
bany to act as consulting actnary OF
the Security Mutual at $1,000 year.
For all Turner knew, he said the ar
rangcment was still IN force.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT IN
TYPEWRiTTEN FORM.
COMPLY WITH LAW.

Springfield, Dec. From a semi
official st2temcaL from the office of
Governor Dcueen this afternoon it APP
pears that the investigation of the
books of the Illinois Central railroad
is not to be so sweeping and thorough
as gossip has indicated, The state
ment, which came in typewriter
form from the Governor, Is as fol-
lows:
Regarding the Illinois Central rail
road inquiry, Governor Deneen said
that by virtue of the fact that he
Is ex-officio director of the Illinois
Central for the purpose of ascertain
ing the amount of money that should
be paid to the state by reacon of the
charter granted to the road by the
state, he had authorized the institu-
tion audit clerk, Col Frank d. Whiop,
to investigate their last report, filed
with him on Monday last. The report
shows the amount due the state for
the last six months to be $3.50, 77j.
which was paid into the treasury this
day He will also investigate the re-
port filed June s. 1905
This investigation is in the ordi-
nary course of business and the Cover
nor does not charge that any mac
curacies have occurred, nor that the
road has not paid the amount due;
but he considers it his duty to verify
the reports and ascertain the facts.
so there will be no question as To
compliance with the law
During the last general assembly a
resolution was introduced in the house
CT ter-dsentatiyds requiring an in
yestigat'on by that body. 1t was ruled
out Of order by the speaker on the
theory that the. Investigation should
be made by the Governor.
