willing to tell what they know in the
hope of protecting themselves.
That Mr. jerome will surely pro-

names have been dragged into the
scandal is the opinion held by many
of the lawyers interested. Some of
the men whose names have been
mentioned in the proceedings before

prospect of being pulled deeper into
the scandal through proceedings by
Mr.. Jerome.
Mr. Jerome himself refuses to say
a word about insurance matters. He
has received a transcript of practi-
cally all the testimony taken before
the Armstrong committee and will
devote himself for the next few
weeks to analyzing it.
