ment the validity of a will leaving
certain personal property from the

which leaves to her furniture. a

tor the war against Japan and that
he was offering the art treasure for
sale. Eckelmann was said to be
Chiang's personal adviser
This information reached John 7.
Geery, secretary of the
American Art Association Anderson
Galleries, Inc. once the country S
most famous art gallery when he
was in serious financial difficulties.
Geery saw a chance to recoup his
fortunes through the commission on
such a sale One of his friends
saw Eckeimann and arranged for
the galleries to handle the Chinese
art. Gcery realized that he knew
nothing OF art and chat his partner
Milton B. Logan, president of the
galleries. would have to manage the
sales. He feared that something
might happen to Logan before the
deal WAS completed, so he insured
Logan's life FOR sl5OO0O through
Lloyds OF London.
This was the explanation given
by Geery's attorney, Herbert Plaut,
for the unusual insurance Geery
carried on his partners life. Geery
killed himself Monday night, a few
hours after a murderouS assault had
been made on Logan in an auto
mobile. Logan. in a hospital with
a fractured skull, believes that
Geery hired the aSSailant. hoping 20
cash in on the insurance policy,
and that Geery killed himself when
he learned that his victim had sur
vived to tell the story.
Geery and Logan formed their
partnership in 1887 and bought the
galleries, then doing a S9,000,0O0
annual business. with only a $4,000
cash outlay supplied by Geery.
Both men were indicted later on
charges of defrauding clients OF the
proceeds of sales of art left with the
galleries. They were accused OF
having withheld S65,000 from clients,
including $4,000 from Baron Felix
Lachowski of Paris, whose painting,
Madonna of the PinkS', by Paph-
ael, they had sold.
1t was learned today that in a
long suicide note, Geery had blamed
Logan for sucking him into the
art business" and for the handling
of finances that led to their in
dictment.
