So Declares FairchiId in Ref

Under Inquiry.
TALKS OF THE CASE
HIS VERSION OF THE STOCK
DEALS WHICH LED TO ACTION
OF GRAND JURY AGAINST HIM
AND PERKINS.
Publishers Press.1

Rome, Dee. 29.-Charles s. Fair
child, former secretary of the United
States treasury who, with George w.
Perkins of New York was indicted on
charges of forgery in the third degree
in connection with the affairs of the
New York Life Insurance company,
has been in this city three weeks.
When informed of the action taken
by the grand jury Fairchild said: Il
have inst received a cable message
from my lawyers in the United States,
giving me al summarized report of the
proceedings. | shall answer that | per-
sonally derived no profit from the
transactions on which the indictments
are based which were entirely for the
benefit of the policyholders of the New
York Life Insurance company. The
matters referred to are probably in
connection with the Chicago & North
western and st. Paul railroad securi-
ties, of which the insurance company
held large amounts. Under its bylaws
the company, it was believed, must re-
move the stocks from its assets. 1t
could not sell such large amounts OF
inactive stocks without serious loss,
and apparently requested the trust
company, of which l am president, to
take these stocks and hold them until
an advantageous sale could be made.
The books of the trust company show
that these stocks were taken. Suisse
quently, for some reason, the holdings
were changed into the form of loans
to individuals and later, | am told, the
stocks were sold with profit of sew
era1 hundred thousand dollars to the
policyhOlders of the insurance COM
pany, with no profit or advantage to
any other company or individual. The
transaction occurred long ago, and l
can not now be certain about the de-
tails. What l state is based on a re-
cent inspection of the books of the
trust company and from statements
made to me by others. l have no recol-
lection of any affair connected with
Prussian bonds"
Fairchild is awaiting developments
and is ready to return to New York
Immediately if necessary.
