MAY CALL PLATT AS WITNESS
Prosecution in Mutual Reserve Trial
Asks Significant Questions.
Lou Payn and Edward Lauterbach
Also Figure MysteriousIy in the
Life Insurance Case.

New York, Nov. Ex-senator Thomas 9.
PIatt, Lou Payn, ex-State superintendent
Of insurance, and Edward Lauterbach
may be called as witnesses in the trial
Of George Burnham. jr, who was counsel
for the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance
Company. which began to-day before Jus
tce Greenbaum, in the Supreme Court,
criminal branch
There are five indictments against
Burnham for larceny and forgery. but
to-day was the first time that the names
of Senator Platt and Messrs. Payn and
Lauterbach were brought into this pro-
ceeding. Every talesman examined by
Assistant District Attorney Mott, who is
in charge Of the prosecution. was asked
if he knew these men.
No one in the district attorneys Office
would explain the significance Of this,
but it was said that they might be called
as witnesses, and their testimony might
be of great Importance, but it all de-
pended on the kind of a swing the trial
took. II was said that whatever cOnnec-
ton these men had with the case came
out since the district attorneys Office took
up the investigation of the charge against
Burnham.
When to-day's session was adjourned,
after eight jurors had been obtained. As
sistant District Attorney Mott moved that
Burnham be committed to the TombS.
This was vigorously opposed by William
Rand, jr., counsel for the Mutual Reserve
declared that they would guarantee the
appearance of Burnham during the trial.
That was satisfactory 10 Justice Green
baum, who let Burnham go home.
