committee this at af afternoon and broke the silence which he has bas maintained except for his statement brought from Paris by John JohnC C McCan McCall ever since his name was first mentioned In connection with the great sums of money shown to have been paid to him during the past ten years on account of his legal and leg legIslative legIslative work for the New York Life and other insurance companies Made Great Sensation It would be difficult to exaggerate the sensation produced by his unexpected unexpected appearance and by the speech which he made or the Intensely dra dat dramatic matic character of the whole episode His face flushed and his voice trem trembling trembling bling with passion his arms upraised and his fists clenched Judge Hamilton poured forth a flood or of denunciation and invective upon the members of the board of trustees of the New York Life Insurance company several of whom were present designating them curs and traitors and pa paying ing special attention to one unnamed whom he descrIbed as the of three ad administrations adminIstrations ministrations the confidant of the Beers scandal and author of the Beers rotates through one ad administration administration ministration and another and thinks that he Is going to be an indispensable ble member of yet another Speaking of Yellow Dogs And do you think he demanded that the man who held the same re relation relation lation to Mr Beers that I did to Mr McCaU McCall could sit for thirteen years since and not know how the expendi expenditures tures that were made were to be and were disbursed Yet he and such like him sit not judging me as Beers but judging me as conquerors talking about yellow dogs Judge Hamiltons attack upon the trustees of the New York Life was made only the more dramatic by the fact that he immediately followed J JH JH H McIntosh g general solicitor of that company who had been eulogizing the members of that board and challenging an any man to give reasons why they should be removed from office as con contemplated b by th the pendIng The only name he mentioned was th t of the late President McCall In Inthe inthe the reference to whom and to whose death he displayed marked emotion He spoke of Mr McCall McCaIl as a victim as having been shouldered with the blame the only one the dead man killed that they drove to his grave and de deserted and declared that the memory I of this man had appealed to him Uto to come down here and say something for him and just a word for myself They All Knew It ItHe ItHe He declared unequivocally that eer every payment to himself by the New York Life was made by the knowledge and approval of the trustees especially of i ithe the finance and auditing committees committee He pointed out that there had anything the matter with his vouchers for these payments It was their duty I Ito to bring him to book for he said month after month and year after year for ten years they passed them and then when the cry at last came out they say Well we did not know anything about it this Is the fellow this is the man that has done it aU all When they say they did not know what was going on It excites m my laughter II and derIsion He again and again that the I payments were proper and legitimate and that he had no apology to make for himself or for President McCall One of his most Interesting state statements statements ments was vas that in spite or of reports to the contrary the Paris ParIA ac account account count was actually reported and ap approved approved proved by the auditing c committee Applause From the Crowd The first applause from the big crowd that quickly filled the great assembly i chamber as soon as the fact of Judge Hamiltons s presence became known wn about the building broke out with a roar of laughter after his reference to the enthusiasm with which he said his vIctories for the New York Life were received by the officials of the corn com company pany i They would come and pat me on the I back he said with a bitter sneer these men who would not know me menow menow now they would come in and J pat at me meon meon on the back and say You did didA it itA A storm of applause followed his scathing reference to the yellow dog dogas as a dog of courage and loyalty but the curs who stood around this funeral that has occurred the curs who knew of these transactions and shrunk into their are the that thatis is the reason that I came before you and say that the great interest or of two billion dollars of life Ufe Insurance and four hundred million
