HEGEMAN FREED.
Court Decision May Quash Indictments
Against Other Insurance Officials.

New York, Dec. 11.--John r. HeGeman,
president of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Co., was freed by the court today
in a decision that if it stands, will serve
to quash all indictments now standing
against insurance officials, according TO
District Attorney Jerome, who, however,
expects to take the present case to the
court of appeals.
Mr.. Hegeman was charged with perjury
in the certification of q report made by
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. to
the superintendent of insurance of the
state of New York in January, 1908. The
matter reached the appellate division OF
the supreme court through habeas corpus
proceedings and today that court aus-
tanned the writ and dismissed HeSerlan
from custody. The court says in its opin-
ion that the evidence was insufficient to
establish prima facie Wilful and dellb-
crate perjury by Mr.. Hegeman. On the
contrary there was enough to show sat
isfactorily that such wilful and deliber-
ate perjury was not committed. Upon
learning of the decision the district at
torney said:
Il have not digested the whole opinion,
but the case undoubtedly will be taken to
the court of appeals. If the decision
stands it will quash all the indictments
still standing against the insurance nfil-

ated an impression to their credit that he
believed would be everlasting.
Lord Northcote's hosts were the eXecu-
tive committee and a party Of members
of the Pilgrims. He will said for Eng
land tomorrow. AS governor general Of
Australia he took the leading Part in
the entertainment of the American navy
representatives, and when William But
ler Duncanfi presiding at the luncheon to-
day, proposed the toast to the guest, he
said that it was as much to express ap-
preciation to Lord Northcote for What
he had done for the officers and mon Of
the American ships as to bid him fare
well that the luncheon was planned. The
party numbered is. including Jos. III.
Choate, Levi P. Morton, Gen. Horace
Porter. Paul Morton, Frank A. Munsey,
Frank II. Hitchcock. Alton p. Parker,
