AGAINST PROMINENT INsUR-,
ANcE OFFICIALS
INDICTED, MUST FACE COURT
Says District Attorney Jerome-Of-
hcials Will Appear Before Criminal
Branch of the New York Supreme

New York. Oct 1.-The biggest
sensation IN the notorious insurance
scandals was sprung today when
District Attorney Jerome summoned
the leading insurance officials to ap-
pear before the criminal branch OF
the New York Supreme Court to
plead to indictments returned against
them by the grand jury
81 The bill charges perjury and forg-
cry, and the indicted men must ap-
pear in court next Monday. Nothing
SO serious has ever before been con-
templated by the insurance officials,
and 10 say that the actions of Jer-
ONE caused a great sensation, ex-
presses the case very mildly. The
charges OF perjury and forgery arc
very grevious ones, and if the of
lenses ae proved and the court con-
victs. these officials will find them
selves in a very sorry predicament.
The result is awaited with great
| interest
Among the officials summoned are
| Charles S. Fairchild, former secre-
tary of the treasury under Cleveland,
and who is also trustee of the New
York Life Insurance Co, and George
w. Perkins, OF the firm OF J. Pierpont
| Morgan & Co. and former vice
president of the New York Life.
| These two named are charged with
forgery. John R. Herman, president
of the Metropolitan Insurance Co.,
is up on seven counts for forgery
| and three for perjury. A. Burnam,
| President George A Burnham and
| George d. Eldridge, formerly vice
president of the Mutual Reserve Life
are up on fifteen counts, Jointly
charging perjury and forgery. Wal
ter r. Gillette. formerly vice presi-
dent of the Mutual Life, forgery and
perjury Robert A Grannis, of the
same company, and Thomas D. Jor-
dam, formerly comptroller, have
eighteen counts against them for
| forgery and one for perjury.
District Attorney Jerome says that
he will exert every influence to give
the officials a conviction and has as
sisting him III the prosecution a legal
array of talent that numbers some OF
the strongest attorneys of New York
| battle.
