FAR FR03I Mm TLEASED

rolicv-IIoWcrsofthc Connecticut Mutual Talking About an Investigation. They Tropose Sending Representatives to Hartford and Also to Ask the General Assembly to Help Them to an Exhibit. Tho drop in tho temperature yesterday failed to reduce the caloric of policy-holders in the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurauch Company in this city, and the heat of their indignation over the management of the Moore defalcation by the company continued to warm up tho atmosphere in a good many localities. One of the peculiarities of tho situation is that the defaulter's performances are overshadowed to a largo extent by a contemplation of his late employers. '"There aro a good many Moores in the country," said one irato citizen, "but-this is tho first time I have over known a company holding trust funds to admit that it has had its capital reduced by years of peculation on the part of one of its subordinates, which must have been brought to its attention while such peculation was in progress, and then, when the exposure could no longer bo prevented, treat it as a private matter, resent any inquiry into the details of tho robberj', and deliberately allow the offender to walk off unpunished. Tho whole course of the transaction argues one of two things: Either tho conipaujr is in the hands of men who aro too thickheaded or inattentive to recognize thievery when it is brought to their attention, and are thus incompetent to manage tho trust confided to them, or have recognized it and done nothing to stop it, until compelled to act by tho enormity and magnitude of the offense. In one case it means stupidity, and in the other it means a pros and willful violation of duty. In citherwe want nomoro of suchmanagement. As for letting Moore go scot free, that was tho only thing needed to give the finishing touch to the disgraceful history. Whether tho managers were ignorant of Moore's knavery up to tho point of its exposure, or were acquainted with it throughout his connection with tho company, ther knew it when tho end came, and did nothing to hold him to account for it." There were a good many plans discussed among tho policy-holder, yesterday, for getting at the exact facts of the defalcation, and it is probable that some of them will be put into operation during the next few days. One of these was to call a meeting of thenolicv-holders of tlifipomniinr to assemble in this city during the present month, and send representatives armed with proxies and empowered to demand full investigation to the annual meeting of the Connecticut Mutual, which is to be held at Hartford. Conn., in March next, and another was to ask tho General Assembly to order an investigation and compel the officers of tho company to appear here and make a proper showing of the affairs of the companv, or prohibit them from doing further business in the State. 'Both of these plans are feasible," said Judge Lewis C. Walker of the Superior Court to a Journal reporter, "and I am not sure both of them ought not to bo started at once. There is but little more than a month intervening between this timo and the company' annual meeting in March, and tho Legislature will probably not bo in session much longer. I have no doubt of the right of tho latter body to compel the officers of the company to come here and submit to a full investigation of the company's affairs under pain of being forbidden to do business in the State. As to the ability of the policy-holders to organize a movement here that would result in a full exhibit of the company's affairs after its annual meeting, there is no question. I think the movement had better be inaugurated by tho polic3-holders resident in this city, and we can subsequently co-operate with others in this and other States. Most of us have given powers of attorney to officers of tho company which servo as proxies, but such powers of attorney are revocable at the will of tho maker and nothing further than a notice of such revocation would be required to restore our right to vote our own stock at the annual meeting, or to give our proxies to those who would make the use of them we desiro to have made. We can send representatives to that meeting who, while they inav not represent a majority of the stock of the company, will bo in a position to demand an investigation which tho company would uot dare to refuse. It could not continue in business if it did. I mean, too, an investigation that will be thorough and complete, not merely the securing of further statements from tho present officers of tho company, but a report from a committee appointed by and representing the stockholders, and made after a full examination of the company's books and papers. I believe, too, that such a movement might result in placing on tho board of directors of the company some new representatives of policyholders' interests, and I would be glad if It did, for I have a poor opinion of corporations representing large public interests, that hold and employ the means of perpetuating the same management indefinitely.' The Company's Side of the Case. Mr. C. P. Greene, the local agent of tho insurance business of tho Connecticut Mutual, was seen again by a Journal reporter, yesterday, but declined to furnish any list of tho company's policy-holders here, or any statement of the amount of its business in this city, on tho gTound that such information might bo used to the detriment of the company. As to the course of the comnanv's manacrers and tho renrnscntations in tho matter of the defalcation hero and its present status, ho said: "Humors and assertions as to collusion and connivance with Joseph A. Moore have been circulated, but I must refuse to believe any such thing until it is fully proven, and I would counsel members . and others to withhold judgment until the case is closed. If such was the fact, Moore would bo in position to defy the company, aud would not now be a fugitive. This ground is entircl untenable. If Mr. Todd and others claiming knowledge of crookedness from 'away back' had been kind enough to give tho information then, they wouht have appeared in better light, and possibly saved something to tho rolicy-holders. Mr. Todd had been out of the Moore otlice for somo two years, and presumably under no obligations to keep secrets. Tho copy of that eiirht-page letter and the reply thereto would have been valuable then, but is of no uso now in saving money lost. Tho letter was probably anonymous. These people, or policy-holders, having knowledge or reasonable belief that Moore was a defaulter, or even unreliable, or wanting in integrity, or faulty in judgment as to values, and knowinir him to be handling trust funds, would have rendered the management and other policyholders valuable service by taking proper action then. Knowing these things and iauing to give xnem out inaKo tnem accessories. Tho records show that the company has been well managed as a whole, aud it is only just that the good things done should be Drought into account; and I call upon members who are holding policies in other coinpaniesjiaving a chance to compare cost of insurance, to testify. I sincerely believe the company has and will continue to furnish insurance at less cost than any other company, and when it is clear that the 'management' is corrupt or incompetent, the necessary influenced will be brought to bear to purge it of both. "As to the loss in this city, it is no greater, proportionally, than that of other companies, investors, who long ago closed out properties here. It only comes in a different way, consequent upon the desire to hold on until values returned; and evidence is not wanting pointing to a realization of thishope. I shall continue to hope that when the evidence is all in, all the circumstances considered, and the people who know and talk so much now (but didn't know and couldn't talk when it might have done good) ccaso their gossip, vindication will come- Wo should not think so strange of one of our bright citizens deceiving a cor poration 1.000 nn Ies away when our home institutions are deceived and preved upon, it may be. by our next door iieiirhVr. "I think the Connecticut Mutual will survive. As to any proper action of the policy-holders here or elsewhere looking to investigation, I understand

they have that privilege always, and have no doubt but tho 'management' will bo glad of tho opportunity to meet and mako exhibit to such representatives as may be sent forward." Proceeding In 'Attachment. The Connecticut Mutual, through its vicepresident, Mr. Abbott, brought its first legal proceedings against Joseph A Mooro yesterday. The nature of tho complaint is an affidavit in attachment and garnishment against the absconding agent. It is stated in the papers that Moorp is indebted to tho company for the principal and interest of the following loans, which were made between September, 1SSM, aud January. 1SS0: A. L. Ilolton, $1,500; J. P. Price, $l,0o3.&; M. aud J. G. Gayer, $1,030; J. Chambers, 1,030; J. Shauryfelt. $l,23o: A. Ik Reynolds, 1.23); S. Broult.l,Gls: L. C. Bodkins. $1,135.70, and J. 11. Garten, 2,0tf0. The Indianapolis National andTheo.P.Haughey are made garnishee defendants in the case, and the complaint alleges that there is reason to believe that the defendants have certain property and stocks of Moore's in their possession. Tho bank officials say that Mooro has no balances with them, and that the proceedings aro only formal. Depended on the Prosecutors. Hartford CouranL The "special reporters," eager to mako their pay, are sending all sorts of irresponsible and unfounded stories out from Indianapolis about the Moore defalcation. One such is that no effort has been made to prosecute Moore, and that officers of the company incline to shield him. The Hon. Henry 0. Robinson, counsel for tho compauy, said yesterday to a Courant reporter that President Greene telegraphed to In-, dianapolis more than a week aco to lay all tho facts before the proper prosecuting officer, and to offer to furnish him anyavailable information that he may need. Whether Moore is prosecuted or not de5 ends entirely on the officers of tho law. 'hey have the matter in hand. Thought Moore Was Ilonest. Hautfokd, Conn., Jan. 31. CoL Greene, president of tho Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, having had his attention called to an article in the Indianapolis News, stating that his company had been warned in writing beforehand of the transactions of the defaulter Moore, and had referred the letter of warniug to Mooro himself, says: "There has never, to my knowledge, been brought to tho knowledge of this company, by any responsible person, any fact impugning 5lr. Moore's integrity until the discoveries made by our own investigations." m GENERAL HARRISON'S VISITORS. Georgians Come with an Invitation for Him to Attend the Atlanta Celebration. Ex-Go v. Bullock, of Georgia, when he camo to tho city, yesterday, with several gentlemen from Atlanta, to seo General Harrison, said the.re was no politics connected with the mission. What had been heretofore given out by other Georgians to warrant somo speculation as to Colonel Buck being called to a high position he did not regard as of much value. He had heard nothing of tho Buck possibilities at home, and from what

the Colonel himself expressed in a newspaper interview, ho did not think that gentleman expected to receivo a call. Yesterday's delegation could hardly have been of an office-seeking or advisory class, as the gentlemen composing it wero Democrats, except ex-Governor Bullock, and a newspaper correspondent who has been energetically constructiug a Cabinet every day in his room at the Now Dcnison, onljr to destroy it the next, tried to place him in that party. If tho ex-Governor had an3 political purpose secondary to the general one of a visit of courtesy, he did not discloso it. The Georgians who, in addition to tho exGovernor, called on tho President-elect, bearing an invitation to him to visit Atlanta some timo in October, when a special celebration in that city is ugiesby, K. V. J. J. Spauldinff, Steve R. Johnson. Tho delegation represented the Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta, and the invitation they gave to General Harrison was from Governor Gordon, the Mayor of the city, John P. Glenn, and tho commercial organization named. The celebration is to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the destruction of the city. Tho Georgians are desirous of having tho President-elect note tho great improvements that have been made there since the place was the center of military movements, siege, and battles. General Harrison gave his visitors a very cordial welcome, and evinced a lively interest in tho proposed celebration. He said that while he should be glad to make the trip and revisit old scenes under such pleasant auspices, the date was too far ahead for him to give a positive answer, but when tho time approached nearer and ho could make definite arrangements the invitation would be favorably considered. The visitors did not stay here long, as immediately after returning from General Harrison's residence they were driven to their special car in which they came, waiting for them at tho Union Station, arid which w ent out as part of the 4 o'clock train for tho South by tho way of Cincinnati. Other visitors to tho President-elect were John F. Scanlon, of Chicago, who came in company with Dr. William Carroll, of Philadelphia. These gentlemen represent the Home Market clubs of their respective cities, and came in the interest of AY harton Barker for a place in the Cabinet. Thomas C. Smith, a Brooklyn manufacturer, and Dr. C. M. Ayres, of Cincinnati, also called. Dr. Ayres was surgeon of the Seventy-ninth Ohio, which comprised a part of General Harrison's brigade. Thomas M. Thompson and James A. Freeman, representing a committee of the Select and Common Councils of tho city of Philadelphia, will visit General Harrison to-day. They also corao as special representatives of Mayor Fitler, of that city, bearing an invitation to the President-elect and his family to spend a couple of days in Philadelphia on his way to New York to participate in the centennial celebrationt on the 25th of April next, of the inauguration of Washington as tho first President of the United States. Senator Sabin, of Minnesota, is expected here to-day en route for Washington. Mrs. Lord, of Washington, Mrs. Harrison's sister, is a guest at tho Harrison house, and has charge of the household during her sister's absence in New York. TVHl Not Stay Very Long. The thin-blooded may find consolation in tho fact that the present cold 6nap will end its biting existence, in a few hours. Tho lowest temperature, says the signal-servico officer, ha3 already been reached and there will be a gradual increase of temperature from now on. The cold wave is about three hundred miles in width, running from east to west. On Wcduesday morning the thermoineterinMinnesotaregistered twenty degrees below, zero, which was followed yesterday by a rise cf ten degrees. Advices from tho signal service all along the line indicate the presence of warmer weather within the next twenty-four hours. The cause of the'present condition of temperatnre is reported to bo due to the recent snow-storm, which commenced in the extreme northwest of the coast of America and swept down in a southeasterly direction across the continent. Death of G. S. Koesberg. G. S. Roesberg.- uncle- of Dr. George F. Edenharter, of this city, who was engaged in the photograph business . at Houston, Tex., died there recently. m He was formerly a citizen of Indianapolis, and many of his relatives reside here. While in Houston he seemed to have lived alone, no one knowing anything of his kin or possessions. , Charged willi Forging Postal Notes. United States Commissioner Van Buren yesterday had William J.

THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE

f - Doubts Expressed as to Sullivan's Accounts Doing as He Represents.Them. . A Snjrsestiou as to How Far IIi3 Bondsmen Will (Jo A Rumor That &r. Sullivan Has Located in Canada. The situation in the matter of the assignment of County Clerk John E. Sullivan yesterday was summed up by one of tho court-house employes in the quotation, "Only waiting till the shadows have a little longer grown." To a Journal reporter who called at the clerk's office late in tho afternoon tho statement was made that, while Sullivan was not in tho building, he was not out of tho city. No change in the appearance of things other than thero appeared to be fewrr employes than usual at work in the main offices. It was understood ihat tho sureties on Sullivan's bond were making a thorough examination of his books and accounts, and tho presence of a large number of clerks aud other persons in the rear rooms of those set apart for the clerk's use, and which wero not open to tho public, confirmed this impression. "It is a mere question of what their investigation reveals," said a well-known lawyer encountered in tho building. "If it is found that the moneys deposited with Sullivan, and which he admits, in his deed of trust to Sproule, he converted to his own use, are in excess of the $ir,000 liability the bondsmen have incurred, they will make short work of him. They are not the sort of men who will throw good money after bad. They will simply make up their minds to shoulder their loss and ask tho court to relieve them of further liability. Then Sullivan will be asked to furnish other bondsmen, and, failing to do this, will be deposed, and the commissioners will appoint somebody elso in his place. On the other hand, ii the investigation shows that Sullivan has converted less than 25,000 to his own uso his bondsmen will probably put up the amount necessary to replace what he has taken and try to work out the balance by putting somebody in tho office to guard their interests. That is all there is of it, and a few days will determine tho question. Of course, as long-as tho payment of any money due from the office is provided for nobody can interfere, and if Sullivan's bondsmen couclude to replace what he admits ho ling converted to his own use he will probably servo out his term as county clerk." Outside tho court-house thero was considerable discussion among lawyers and others over somo of the legal aspects of Sullivan's failure. Some lawyers and a good many unprofessional judges Avefo inclined to hold that Sullivan's -statements in the deed of trust to his denutv. Snroule. which he signed and acknowledged before a notary nnblic. contain sufficient to warrant his re moval without any action on the part of his iiondsmen. in mat ueea," saio; one, "Sullivan admits that ho has taken por tions of money deposited withhiin as county 1 1 1 1 1 -A A. 1 cierK ana conveneu n xo nis own uso and adds that it is beyond his power to re- - -a tr a ..u r piace it. ii mat is uoc a mix couiessiuu ul acts which show that he is unfit to remain in office. I do not know what would consti tute such a confession. I believe it would be the duty of tho court, if such statements were brought to its attention, to order an investigation of tho county clerk's office, which is given the custody of the court's funds, and I am not suro but that the court ought to tako judicial no tice of tho statements contained in that deed of trust without the intervention of any third party. It is notorious that tho bond eiven by tho clerk does not cover a fourth part of the amounts frequently in- . i tMA . , . . .1.1 . 1 A. I 1 1. trusted to mm. anu mis maKcs ii an mo more necessary ' that the showing made under oath by Sullivan oi nis own wrong doing, should not be passed over." Mr. Renihan Not Very Confident. James Renihan, one of SulUvan's bonds men, Httd Who was active in bringing about the conditions under which tho county clerk's office is now conducted, at first re fused to say anything to a Journal reporter who ' called on him last night, but on being drawn into conversation, he expressed his views qnito freely about the failure. "Pvo got to hold the bag," he said, "if there is any to hold. I think that Sullivan largeaway investigated the matter: but I am of the opinion that it will go much further than that probably i,0U0 or 10,000, at leastand possibly lar more." "Vou think, then, Sullivan hopes to reassure people by his moderate estimate of his debts! "Yes. very naturally, but if ho thinks he owes as little as he says, ho has left some thing out of his bgures; that's all." "Whatisyour opinion of his own ap praisement of bis assets?77 "Well. I hardly know what to sav to that. but I am strongly inclined to believe that ho overestimates tho value of somo of his property, principally in resnect to nis Maryland street es tablishment. If I wero called upon to assess that, and knew nothing about tho narticular business prosecuted there, I would placo it at the best at about $35,000. It is probably worth that, but not more. Of course, such a nlace is exceedingly ex pensive to lit out, but Sullivan must remember that an appraisement of a plant cannot do justice to the iirst cost of ouo adapted only to somo special thing. If we wero to come at it that way, I don't doubt ho may have spent S50.000 in Maryland 6treet, but that don't make it worth that at an apnraisernent to-dav. by any means." "What is your judgment on the value of his other property!" "I think his large farm, which is highly improved and in splendid condition every way. is worth every cent of $100 per acre. or about '.30,000. It is one of the finest farms I know. Him other farm I never heard a great deal about, and don't believe it is very valuable or amounts to much. Regarding his other property tho Terre Haute place has been placed at $10,000. The same facts apply with respect to it as to nis establishment here. It cost much more than S10.000. and may be worth that to-day. but not more. His other real estate has been very fully estimated, but still I may not bo competent toindce. Please remember that I make these statements merely according to the best of my judgment, and may or course be mistaken; but I believe I cannot be far out of the way." "Do you consider Lof tin's security as full as ho claims?" "I've seen no good reason to doubt it, so far. 1 nope it is. liutif it isn't, Uodnelp me" "Yon went on Sullivan's bond, and mu3t have investigated pretty thoroughly before UOiug so. v iiai uu yuu iiuhk. oi ma uusiness character!" "Yes. to be sure, I went on his bond, but I did not know him as well then as I do now. Honesty is not all that is needed to make a good business man. I do John Sullivan the justice to say he is honest, but my opinion of his ability has changed womienuiiy in me last tew years. I used to think, years aero, when he Killed the first chicken, over there in the little nlace on the Circle, that ho was a stirring. energetic business man. But since then, as I have watched his course, I have come to think differently. In fact, I confess I have come to the conclnsion that Sullivan wholly overrated himself, and thought ho was fit for large operations and extensive enterprises when he was not at all. And then when ho came to mix in politics and let that distract his attention and rob his purse, his business ran right down to a condition whero the recent ruisfortuno was only to be expected." "Is it your opinion that Sullivan has squandered the trust funds in his care?" "There must have been 6trong temptation to him to use any money at hand to temporarily bridge the gulf until he could get on his feet; but I vrould hardly think he would yield to it, from my knowledge of the man." . "Then yon do not feel any doubt but what yon personally will get out all right!" "Well, I do not think from all Ihavo learned so far that thero will bo any call upon me, and so I am easy." "Is thero any possibility of Sullivan's leaving town?" "I saw him to-day, andlho did not give the elicJitest suspicion of such an intention

Lato last night tho county clerk was reported to bo in tho city and at his customary haunts, but it is nevertheless reasonably certain that ho has absented himself temporarily at least, and that tho matter of his ac counts with tho county as well as with in dividual creditors will be settled only by a careful examination.
