he was unable to carry out his bold scheme, as
he declared that, had he been successful, to-day
he would be a million dollars better off, and he
would have been in some foreign country and
not in the Butte Jail
Grove says the daring plot was Matched in
Chicago after an investigation Of Mr.. Rockefc}-

In an examination rAplete in details 81 sur
rrfsing as to astomd even the hitherto i'm
perturbeble Mr. Hughes, it was shown before
the legislative insurance commission YESTERDAY
that the stupendous sum of S2.692.93I 81 hau
heaD received bv two members Of the McCurdy
family Robert H. son Of the president aHN
Louis A Thebaud a son-in-!a". from 'ile
Mutual Life in less than twenty years anu

received in salaries alone approximately SLVo-
600 in the same period The vase sums re-
ceived by the two younger members Of the faTnliy
were mainly through commissions for foreign
and domestic Insurance as well as for salary
and the net income of the three members Of the
family from the Mutual Life in 1904 approx
mated S420,O00.
The progress of Robert H. McCurdy from a
minor cIerkshp TO a position with an income
far in excess Of that Of the President OF tne
United States made a story the main feature
or which was the almost fabulous dimensions Of
the sums received Entering the firm of c H
RAYMOND a general agent Of the Mutual al
TWENTY-FIVE years old. fresh from college at d
salary of 81 900 GIr. Mccall testified that IN the
first ten years of his connection with the MUTUAL
his income from it amounted 10 more IhaA
100000. that ten years after his entrance ne
received in q single year commissions or lo4-
and domestic business dSSF6SdtAiA6 ''AAN'
coo and that in that year he was receiving one
half the profits of the firm which he entered one
year after he began insurance work In 1880
he went abroad to organize the foreign agency
If the Mutual and from that time until recently
he received vast commissions on all renewal
business. commissions So stupendous IN fact'
that he had voluntarily asked that they be re-
dured How stupendous they really were may
be gathered from the fact that his receipts from
this source alone in 1903, when he had just
been made general manager at salary of $50
O0O amounted to 700. and he was still draw
ing income from insurance written while he
was q member Of c. II. Raymond & Co, al
though in this year the amount had become IN
significant.
Amazing as was this revelation, dwarhng the
remarkabI exploits Of even George ". Per
xins in the realm of insurance revenues. the de-
velopments that followed regarding Louis A
Tbebaud Mr.. McCurdy's brother-in-Iaw, were
even more startling. In 1892 Mr., McCurdy left
the firm of C. H. Raymond & Co, still drawing
therefrorn commissions on renewals, and the next
wear Mr.. Thebaud entered the firm. His progress
in the firm establishes new records in insurance
rspid transit Up to 1896 he had quarter in
terest to 1902 one-half, to 1903 two-thirds, and
al the present time three-quarters. In 1902 this
netted $1,000 and last year it was upward
of S14SOOO his total receipts in eleven years
being 1892. 600 The figures for this income
of Thebaud were supplied by c. H. Raymond

OF the actual amount written falling below this.
out Of this the firm was obliged to pay rent
and the expenses Of subordinate agents, al
though the company agreed to advance $4,000
for rent TO he deducted later.
Robert r. McCurdys testimony OF his rapid
progress was reminiscent in many ways OF the
famous declaration of George W Perkins his
first appearance. 1t was prefaced in an ad-
dress. this time read from a typewriter state
