10 asphyxatIon by Illuminating gas and was acci-
dental, according 30 Coroner Acrlteh, who exam
ined the body.
Mrs Burnham who occupied a room adjoining
that Of her husband. detected the odor Of gas
atout $50 O'Clock In the morning. and going into
the OF the former insurance official to trace
its source found Mr.. Burnham IN what she be-
Heved e stupor. The gas wts escaping from
heater standing the bathroom just off the sleep
ing apartment. Mrs. Burnhams call for help was
answered by her son, Frederick K Burnhau. who
after turning OF the gas summoned DR.. Elmer A
Miller. OF No. s63 Madison avenue. and John I.
McGovern. his fatner's personal counsel Mr..
BUrnham was dead before the physician arrived.
Nj McGovern. who took charge OF his affairs, said:
Mr.. Burnham lit small gas heater the
floor OF the bathroom and sat reading in bed On
a chair against the side OF the bed, at his right
hand a copy of a magazine lying spread
open at the middle Of a story. Alongside the
magazine were placed his eyeglasses. Evidently
he had read until he became drowsy. and then
had turned off the flame cutoff on the heater in
stead Of the feed cutoff.
MIR. Burnham had had for many years af-
fected heart and it IS believed that had 1t been
for such weakness there not enough gas to
have killed him
Mr.. Burnham was born in Rhode Island in 1851
He was a member Of the bar, having been gradu-
ated from the Albany Law College. His first office
with the Mutual Reserve counsel. He be-
came president Of the company about seven years
ago. and in that Office he had stormy career. He
resigned in May, 1901, under pressure from the
board Of directors He had succeeded four mont hs
before that IN having himself reelected to the
presidency, although at that time he under
five indictments charging grand larceny and for
gerry, brought a result of some alleged irregu-
larities IN the conduct of the company's affairs.
His brother George BuTnham, jr., who had been
counsel for the Mutual Reserve. sentenced 10
Sing Sing on conviction growing out of the same
charges. but was restored later TO good standing
at the bar. the Appellate Division having reversed
his conviction
The first charges were brought against Mr. Burn
ham IN 1909 when the company called the Mu-
tuaI Reserve Fund Life Insurance Association 1t
not. however, until the Armstrong Legislative
committee investigated the Mutual Reserve that
evidence obtained on which indictments could
be brought. The grand jury indicted Frederick A.
Burnham, George Burnham, jr., and Frederick
Eldredge, vice-president Of the company.
The indictments based charges OF the
TnisappIication OF funds and false entries in the
COmpany's books.
