 STATE BY COMPANION.

 sing Man

St. Louis, Dec. 22.-Attorneys for 1 the New York Life Insurance Com pany this afternoon examined into kne of the details in the remarkable story of John B, Swinney by whose testimony other attorneys are trying to show that George A. Kimmell the Niles, Mich, man of mystery was murdered In an Oregon forest while on search for buried gold in Aug ust, 1908. SwHney, a ranchman of Nara Visa, N. M., who says he killed the man who killed Kimmell, told in his de- position how he and his comrades dug up two half gallon glass fruit jars, one containing ntnety.si and the other 104 s20 gold pieces, total of . $4,000. Each of the jars he said was little more than one half full and he supposed two jars were used be- cause one would not quite hold the whole.
 John F. Green, o.ae of the insurance companys lawyers. bought half gallon glass fruit jar, took it to u bank and emptied 200 double eagles into the jar. They filled it hardly one thrd full.
 Swinney told of a pact of silence tetween himself and the late R. NJ. Snyder of Kansas City, to keep the circumstances of himmels death a secret. He and Snyder agreed, he said, to tell no one of the hunt for gold in which they. Kimmel and J. A. Johnscn engaged, Of the murder of Kinmel by Johnson and the staying of Johnson by SwiLaey.
 The deposition of Swinney is beag taken in the case of the receiver ot the First National bank of Niles, Mich, which came into possession of one of the policies o1 Kimmers life against the insurance company for S5,OO0. Payment Of policies aggre sating s25,OOO, held by KimmeI's sis ter depend on the outcome of the case.
 A man supposed to be A. J. White, recently released from Auburn pri- scn, N. Y., and now in the Wabash hospitak in Peru, Ind, recovering from wreck injuries, says he is Kim mel, though relatives of Kimmel de- ny his claim.
 Swiney today identified BertiIlion rhotographer of White as that of a man he had known in the Missouri poaltentary.

FIRST STEPS TAKEN TO UNITE THE SUBSIDIARY LINES OF
 THE NE wYoRK CENTRAL.
Will Absorb the Lake Shore system to Get Through Line to Chi
 eago and the West.

New York, Dec 22-What was regarded in Wall Street as the first step in the long rumored plan to consolidate the subsidiaries of the New York Celtr1: system. with tho rarent company, was taken today when the New York Central and the Hrdson RI,er Railr, ad Company ad- dressed letters to the holders of it's $110,000,000 three and a half per cent collateral trust bonds, which were given in exchange for stock of the Lake Shore and Michigan South ela and Michigan Central roaGs askin tileir consent to merge either or both roads with the parent company.
 It is proposed to consolidate only the Lake Shore at this time, but ow- ing to provision Of the mortgage the consent of the holders Of the Michigan Central proportion of the issue must be obtained. The way is thus left open however for consolidation of the Michigan Central with the New York Central and the bondholdeis are asked to give lneir consent to such consolidation.
 According to an officer of the com paay, the immediate object of the absorption of the Lake Shore is to obtain a through line to Chicago un- der one management to the end that its operations may be placed cn q less cumbersome basis with more economical management
 The bondholdcrs are asked 10 re iinquish their lien upon the Lake Shore and Michigan Central stock pledged as security for the bonds aad to accept in return what will be practically second mortgage bonds on the consolidated system.
 Several other New York Central Lines south Of Chicago and in Lake Shore territory will be mersed with the parent compeny when the Lake Slpre is taken in.
 Control of the Michigan Central and the Lake Shore was secured by the New York Central in 1898. when it issued its 31s per cent bonds for s50.- 100000 of the Lake Shore ssd Michl- gan Southern stock at 200 and sls.- 7ss,000 Michigan Central stock at 115.
 It was denied ty the company to- day that any further plans for a com prehensive ratification of the system are contemplated. but 1t has been from to time reported that such is the ultimate goal the directors have in mind.
