New York Grand Jury Closes It's
Metropolitan Investigation.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE grand Jury
wound up late yesterday afternoon its in
vestigation Of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company. From what could be learn
cd indictments for forgery in the third de-
gree and perjury were ordered against an
omcial OF the company. The indictments
will not be filed until Monday. when the
grand jury reports to Justice Greenbaum in
the supreme court, criminal branch.
: There was an impression that John n.
Hegeman. president OF the Metropolitan.
might be witness yesterday. He did NOT
turn up. Instead his counsel De Lancey
Nicoil and John q. Milburn, sent a letter to
District Attorney Jerome saying that they
had advised their client not to appear They
came to this conclusion after they had had
q talk with Mr.. Jerome early In the week.
An invitation had been extended to Mr..
Hegeman to explain certain transactions
which were under investigation. In SUBJ
stance Mr.. Hegeman sent word that he did
not care to appear a. q Witness
The witnesses heard yesterday were Jas.
u. Knapp, q member of the finance COM
mittee Of the company; James D. Roberts
secretary Of the~company; Bethune Jones,
assistant cashier OF the Mercantile Trust
Company; Frederick H. Ecker. controller Of
the Metropolitan, and representatives Of the
Central Trust Company and Brown Bros,
bankers. 1t was through some Of these
concerns that the syndicate operations were
carried on.
George W. Perkins may see the minutes
OF the grand jury which filed six indict-
ments against him for forgery in the third
degree, growing out OF his management Of
the affairs of the New York Life Insurance
Company. This decision was made yester
day by Justice FITZGERALD, before whom the
motion was argued. The argument on the
motion was heard early in January, before
the Thaw trial.
