G. v. PERKINS ARRESTED.
Charged With Grand Larcenyof $48,-
600 Of insurance Funds.
MONEY FoRCA PURPOSES

Former Vfce.President Oe the New York
Lie, Now j. r. MorGan's Partner,
Saw No Wrong In the Contribution
Counsel Makes Statement ia DE.
Tense, and Client IL Paroled.
New York City.-George ". Perkins,
former vice-president of the New York
Life Insurance Company and a partner
in the firm of J. p. Morgan & Co, was
arrested on a warrant charging him
with the commission of a felony
grand larceny in the first degree. He
was spared the ordeal of being ar
raigned before the magistrate who is
sued the warrant, the usual procedure,
but was taken. to Part II. of the SUI
preme Court before Justice Greenbaum
on a writ of habeas corpus which had
been prepared before the arrest was
made, II released in the custody of
his counsel, Lewis l.. Delafeld, with
cut being compelled to put up bail.
The grand larceny charge is the al
legged theft Of $4S, 7O2.50 contributed by
Mr.. Perkins. for the New York Life In
surance Company, to the Republican
national campaign fund in 1904. Ac-
Cording to a statement made in court
the late President John A. Mccall, OF
the New York Life, authorized the pay
Inent of the money, and the other MEM
bers of the Finance Committee of that
corporation approved of the payment
to Mr. Perkins, who had advanced the
money to Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer
of the campaign committee.
Following the arrest it became
known for the, first time that Mr.. Per-
kins had given to Mr.. Jerome much in
formation concerning the circum-
stances regarding the political contri-
button. and that he had been instTu-
mental in placing before the District
Attorney account books and checks of
the New York Life Company bearing
on the payments. 1t vas in answer to
a request from Mr.. Jerome that Mr..
Perkins vouchsafed this information.
In his answer to the District Attor-
ney Mr.. Perkins wrote before his ar
rest that the question of the legality of
these political contributions came to
him as a surprise, it never having Oc-
Cured to him that their prOpriety
would be questioned. as he believed
they were for the benefit Of the com
pany. He added that he derived no
personal advantage from the transac-
ton; that he had no intent other than
to serve the interests of the company,
and. he said, 1T is not my intention to
dispute or to deny civil liability to &C.
count to the company for these mon
eys.'
On the dispositions of Darwin p.
Kingsley, vice-president of the New
York Life, and Edmund ID. Randolph,
its treasurer, is based the warrant for
Mr. Perkins arrest. in which he is
charged with having committed grand
larceny in its first degree on Deem
Der 80, 1904. the date on which the
company's check was drawn to repay
him for his disbursements to Mr.. Bliss.
