O'Neil Gives Brown Records
on Pension Mutual Case

Commissioner O'Neil at noon to-day
carried to the office of the Attorney
General an armful OF records dug up
in the files of his department bearing
on the operations of the Pension Mu-
tual Insurance Company and the eff
forts of Deputy Commissioner McCul-
loch and Chief Inspector Roney> to
have it correct its methods. They
date back to inspections made in 1912
and every one of them criticises ad-
verseiy the operations of the manage
ment and charge as early as 1913 an
impairment amounting to more than
half million dollars. Ample oppor-
tunity was given the company to con-
duct itself in accord with the law and
the policies of the department, but the
reports indicate that no heed was
taken Of the findings.
The commissioner said to-day that
the records are ample proof of the
falsity of Woods inference that both
Deputy McCulloch and Inspector
Roney overlooked the condition of the
Pension company or withheld the facts
In the case until O'Neil took hold.
The records were not only public prop
erty from the time they were COM
pleted, O'Neil said to-day, but the con-
dition of the company was drawn to
the attention of the proper authori-
ties on number of occasions before
he became commissioner.
The reports filed to-day include COM
plants from the insurance depart
ments of Indiana and Rhode Island
The reported finding of an additional
shortage of 100000 in the accounts
of the company, Mr.. O'Neil said, was
not new. 1t referred to the report of
Inspector Ropey In 1918, which showed
q deficit of $571, 1,408.31.
