INSURANCE FRAUDS

Sag Physicians Passed Dying

Louisville. Jan. 27--what attorneys en-
ployed by a dozen or more life insurance
companies TO conduct criminal prosecutions
say is a scheme to defraud insurance COM
panies through the formation OF an alleged
conspiracy is TO be made the subject OF an
investigation in Louisville, in New Albany.
Ind, and perhaps other points
Warrants were sworn out to-day by S c.
Renick. secretary and treasurer Of the
Indiana National Life Insurance Company,
OF Indianapolis, for the arrest OF John ].
Keane. P. J. Needham and T T O'Leary
insurance solicitors OF Louisville, on charges
of conspiracy TO defraud by insuring dying
persons through Misrepresentation.
1t is said that the affair involves in one
way or another more than fifty persons
and relates to fraudulently obtained life in
surance policies to the value of 100000
II is also said that many physicians are
involved in the affair. One physician is said
to have admitted that he filed out medical
certificates asserting that men and women
he had never seen were in good health and
constituted good insurance risks.
In many cases, however. it is believed the
physicians were imposed upon In some
cases, it is said, policies were issued TO
dying men. while the physicians examined
men Of athletic build.
In the affidavit s. c Renick charges that
the defendants in the employment OF the
Indiana National Life Insurance Company
and various other insurance companies,
among others, The Independent Life In
surance Company. of Indianapolis: the
Commonwealth Life Insurance Company, of
Kentucky, and the Standard Life Insurance
Company of Des Moines. Iowa. have been
guilty Of the crime of conspiring TO defraud

of Walter z. Rider. teamster earning $40
a week. who died January 1. and whose
body was exhuned yesterday by the Coro-
ner. at the request OF insurance companies
The death certificate indicated that Rider
died of intestinal trouble. but It is reported
that the autopsy which began to-day
showed q large portion Of the lung eaten
away. supposedly by tuberculosis.
The insurance companies. which. it is al
