Several times while speaking Hamil ton pointed derisively at the group of New York Life men. Hamilton's speech bore out in complete detail the truth of charges to be made by Hamil ton. He made a hitler attack on the trus tees of the New York Life Insurance Company, declaring ih.it they had driven John A, Met Jail to his grave and asserting that the hoard knew of every dollar which he had spent and of the purposes for which It had been In truded to him. In brief he charged that every pa.v vent made to him. even from the rails >t!lee and the $50.:t10 or steel syndicate profits diverted from the company to the legislative agent by J. 1'.

"The great Interest of two billion dol lars of life insurance and four hundred millions of assets can never be safely pntrusted to the hands and administra tion of a lot of curs." was his closing brondshle. That Hamilton's disclosures mil?! surely result in suits for recovery ngalnst other trustees of the New York Life Is the common opinion here. Judge Hamilton's attack upon -the trustees of the New York Life made only the more drastic by the fact that he Immediately followed J. H.
