New York. May 9.-When George R.
Scrugham, manager Of the International
Polleyholders Committee, appeared this
morning before Magistrate House for ex-
animation on the charge that he commit
ted conspiracy in connection with the re-
cent election Of trustees Of the New York
Life Insurance Company he got an un-
pleasant surprise.
Charles F. Darlington who was one OF
his assistants. and who was arrested with
him for conspiracy, suddenly announced
that he waived examination. Then he
went on the stand and accused Mr.
Scrugham Of doing practically all the
things which the district attorneys office
charged. when Mr.. scrugham was ar
rested last week at.Albany.
Names Are. Substituted.
In substance. Darlington said that it
was under the direct, orders OF Mr.. Scrug-
ham that defective ballots were retired
by a corps Of girls. In some instances an
effort was made TO initiate the policy
holders signatures. but when it got close
10 the election this was passed up. Rub
Der stamps were used by Mr.. Scrugham,
according to Darlington, TO substitute
names of proxies.
But votes for the administration ticket
also got 10 the headquarters of the policy
holders committee and Darlington said
they ought 10 go TO the insurance COM
panv. Then came the most interesting
Bit of testimony Of the day Scrugham
told him. Darlington said, that they were
not agents for the insurance companies,
and to send the ballots up 10 his room
and he would "chloroforra' them. the ia
sinuation being that they would never get
10 the company
serug gham Refuses. 20 Talk.
Although Scrugham was,hard hit by the
testimony and surprised at Darlington s
change Of front. he did not show II. He
refused 10 make any statement on the
testimony, but his friends intimated that
Carrington's testimony was part of a
plant" 1t would not be surprising If
char ges of forgery were made as result
of to-day's proceedings
When the hearing began thellitue court
room on the top floor of the Criminal
Courts Building was pretty well crowded
with young women who have worked for
the policy holders cOuInlittee-
Scrugham was represented by John B.
Stanchfeld and Ellis q. kinkead. who
has been AIr. Scrugham's representative
in the committees affairs. Charles Stir
rup. Scrugham's other assistant who was
also arrested for conspiracy, was repre-
sented bv James ". Hyde.
Darlington was fiauked by Julius
Mayer, who was attorney general during
the warm days of the Insurance inquiry.
