The system.

The evidence before the grand jury
shows that every sworn to report made
to the state insurance department in the
last eighteen years by the company was
false as 1t incorrectly stated the amount
of money spent for printing and sta
tionery.
The system by which Fields got great
sums for supposedly Illicit purposes was
very simple He had an arrangement
with Lawrence by which he could go to
the latter's cashier whenever he pleased
and get any sum he desired in cash.
Lawrence reimbursed himself for the
advance in this way. Fields would put
in an order on Lawrence for stationery.
He might order 100000 envelopes. 900
covers for policies and 5000 printed
pamhlets. Lawrence would put In bill
for the order as 1t was given, but would
furnish 10000 instead of 100000 envelopes.
80 900 instead of $4,000 policy covers, and
5000 instead of %. 600 pamphlets
When the bill was rendered he would
first go to Fields as head of the supply
department who would stamp 1t Recon-
mended for payment fill in the date,
sign 1t and then send the bill to the execu-
tive officer whose duty it was to pass upon
1t. In nearly every case this executive
officer was Vice President Walter r. Gill
lette.
According to his testimony DIR. Gillette
was always satisfied when a bill was regu-
larly stamped and endorsed by the proper
department head. From Vice President
Gillette the twice-approved bill went to
the committee on expenditures. This
committee held meetings at stated in
tervas and big pile of bills was always
awaiting them. All they did was to look
for the initials wv. r. G." to see II DR..
Gillette had recommended payment of a
bill Then they stamped 1t with their APP
proyal without further question.
From the committee on expenditures
the bill went to the cashier, William p.
Sands 1t was his duty to pay every bill
approved by the expenditures committee.
A check for the amount called for was
sent to Lawrence, and that ended that
particular transaction.

Those Responsible.

The practice of padding the Mutual
LIES bill has existed in Lawrence's es-
Establishment for eighteen years. 1t is
figured that in the aggregate the Mutual
Life has paid out fully sl,250.00O in over
charges All of the trustees and officers
responsible for the system are not only
exposed to criminal Indictment. but to
suits for restitution of money taken from
the polcyholders and dissipated through
Lawrence and Fields.
How many of the executive officers
and trustees were cognizant of the fraud
and aided II has not yet been discovered
by the special grand jury though they
know some of the men who passed upon
the bogus bills and authorized the cashier
OF the company to pay them. They are:
Walter R., Gillette. vice president of the
Mutual Life until last month
Robert ELEPHANT trustee, chairman of
the expenditures committee
James C. Holden trustee and member
OF the expenditures committee.
Charles r.. Miller. trustee and member
of the expenditures comr'ittee.
1t is certain that the padded bills could
never have gone through except with
the guilty assistance of men higher up
in the company or under slipshod sys-
tenn of auditing.

Now Told
PRETTY WOMAN IN MALE ATTIRE
Became a Mother While a Prisoner
OF War at Andersonville-A story
illustrating the Humane Nature of
Capt. Henry Wlrz

The action about to be taken by the
Georgia Division, Daughters of the
Confederacy, in session in Americus,
towards erecting a massive monument
to Captain Henry Wirz, formerly COM
mandant at Andersonville prison DUR
ing the Civil War and afterwards hang
ed by the Federal authorities for al
legged cruelties to Union prisoners. rem
ders interesting anything of the career
of this martyr-soldier.
Citizens of AmericuS who knew per-
sonally the man so unjustly traduced
by northern fanatics refute the calum-
MES hurled at him, and one of these
tells story of personal contact with
Captain Wirz which well illustrates the
true character of the man.
This woman, one of the most prOmi-
nent, socially, of Americus. often Wis
tied AndersonvilIe prison during the
war, where her husband was doing ser
vice for the Confederate government.
1t was there that she met Captain
Wirz, and during his stay as cOmman-
dant knew him we'll
Upon one of her frequent visits to
her husband Captain Wirz called her
aside one morning with the statement
that he needed her assistance, and the
story he then told her was indeed start
ling and in this article it is given to the
world in print for the first time though
doubtless well known to many people
in Americus.
Captain Wirz conducted her to a small
tent just outside the prison stockadc.
Within was a wOman-a Federal pris-
oner, with day old babe in her arms,
while by her side sat her husband, also
a prisoner of war.
Captain Wirz then told his friend the
following remarkable story: The wo-
man, in male attire and to all appear
ances man, had been brought to the
prison pen few days before. The cap
tured party, including her husband,
we're Ohioans, and when surprised by
the COnfederates she hastily donned a
suit of her husbands clothes in order
that they might not be separated.
Her real identity was not discovered,
and as man this woman, in delicate
condition, was put in the stockade at
Andersonville.
When the real situation had been
discovered the day previous, through
statements made by the husband, Cap
tain Wirz had the couple hastily re-
moved to the tent, outside the prison,
and there the little babe was born.
When Captain Wirz finished his story
all the motherly instincts of his visitor
were aroused and in her the poor wo-
man found friend indeed. She quick
ly returned to Americus and secured
for the mother and babe necessary
clothing and medicine, and such food
and comforts as her then limited means
allowed. Soon thereafter the Ohioan,
his wife and babe were sent away from
the prison.
The pathetic story has often been
told by the lady here herself, and we'll
illustrates the humane nature of the
much maligned and slandered martyr,
Captain Wirz.
