Branch of Supreme Court o Continue Until Sept IIWhen the DIM riot Attorney Will Ask for the Extra JuryHe If Still on Hunt for Crime District Attorney Jerome indicated very plainly yesterday that there will be an Inquiry by a special Grand Jury Into the past management of the Equitable Life Assurance Society There Is no prospect however that tho special Grand Jury will be drawn much before tho middle of Sep- tember Mr Jeromes remarks about a special Grand Jury were made to Justice Davy yesterday when he that the term of the Supreme Criminal Branch- be continued II Mr Jerome saidIn the early part of the summer as a result of an Investigation made by the committee of a great Insurance company- in this city and also as a result of the In- vestigation made by the Superintendent- of Insurance attention was called In a- very marked and pointed way to the con- duct of the affairs of that company There was disclosed as a result of the Investiga- tion by the Commissioner of Insurance and of the committee of directors of tho com- pany itself what was to say the least a most extraordinary condition of affairs affecting tho Interests of a great many people this community and all over the United States and other parts of the world The transactions were of a character- on their face at least that required an in- vestigation by the District Attorney of this county I received a communication from the Governor at that time calling my at tention to this situation and stating that if It appeared that the transactions were such as to come within trie jurisdiction of tho District Attorney of Now York county and I desired to look into it he would cause to be furnished me the evidence taken before the Superintendent of Insurance m t like to examine that testimony and pur- suant to the directions of the Governor it was in my hands I have gone over care While thp Investigation of the Com- missioner of Insurance covered a wide field there were not a few where for the of a prosecuting officer it was inadequate- I since the of the testi mony made sumo inquiries and investi- gations of own which leads me to believe that further into and circumstances surrounding the management of the Equitable com- pany arc important and necessary and it is my to them There has appointed a committee to investigate conduct and management of insurancn In an Investigation of course will approach the In the way tho Superintendent of Insurance is apparent that an investigation such as nro about to conduct to the of mutters that would be highly to a District Attorney In deter- mining whether or not the law have committed asked Curt I hIs that I should place o the I facts this State rtant been dis- closure been ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ It would therefore at this time when we nre In the summer witnesses are more or less unavail- able when it would be looked ax a certain upon the part of Grand Jurors to have to serve with legislative committee it im- proper at this time it seems to me that I a special Grand Jury tcf the and circumstances with tho management of the Equitable Life But autumn the com- mittee will have made undoubtedly such progress that It will be or not are ascertaining would be of value In a criminal Pend- ing such examination the committee and tho further examination which I understand the Insurance Com missioner is making I cannot definitely state that a special Grand necessary but I am that it will be no means improbable I would suggest if it meets with your honors concurrence that when this court adjourns today it adjourn until in- justice Davy said Do a for an order empaneling a Grand Jury I am not asking for It at this time said Mr Jerome because if it shall to be essential the order can I think under the law bo made any Judge of the Court In the First Department- And In any event unless it were on ex torm that should be convened impression is that an order would have to be made a Judge in the First Department although might come before It My Im- pression of the statute is that order have to be made by a Judge elected In the First Department Justice Davy Jeromes request MURDERER LONG EASILY TAKEN In Arrested While

GRAND JURY FOR EQUITABLE

JEROME TALKS OF SPECIAL ONETO RE CALLED IN SEPTEMBER

Criminal Branch of Supreme Court oContinue Until Sept IIWhen the DIM

riot Attorney Will Ask for the ExtraJuryHe If Still on Hunt for Crime

District Attorney Jerome indicated veryplainly yesterday that there will be anInquiry by a special Grand Jury Into thepast management of the Equitable LifeAssurance Society There Is no prospecthowever that tho special Grand Jury willbe drawn much before tho middle of Sep-tember

Mr Jeromes remarks about a specialGrand Jury were made to Justice Davyyesterday when he that the termof the Supreme Criminal Branch-be continued II Mr JeromesaidIn

the early part of the summer as aresult of an Investigation made by thecommittee of a great Insurance company-in this city and also as a result of the In-

vestigation made by the Superintendent-of Insurance attention was called In a-

very marked and pointed way to the con-

duct of the affairs of that company Therewas disclosed as a result of the Investiga-tion by the Commissioner of Insurance andof the committee of directors of tho com-pany itself what was to say the least amost extraordinary condition of affairsaffecting tho Interests of a great manypeople this community and all over theUnited States and other parts of the world

The transactions were of a character-on their face at least that required an in-

vestigation by the District Attorney of thiscounty I received a communication fromthe Governor at that time calling my attention to this situation and stating thatif It appeared that the transactions weresuch as to come within trie jurisdiction oftho District Attorney of Now York countyand I desired to look into it he wouldcause to be furnished me the evidence takenbefore the Superintendent of Insurance m

t

like to examine that testimony and pur-suant to the directions of the Governor itwas in my hands I have goneover care

While thp Investigation of the Com-missioner of Insurance covered a wide fieldthere were not a few where forthe of a prosecuting officer it wasinadequate-

I since the of the testimony made sumo inquiries and investi-gations of own which leadsme to believe that further into

and circumstances surroundingthe management of the Equitable com-pany arc important and necessary and itis my to them

There has appointed a committeeto investigate conduct andmanagement of insurancn In

an Investigation of coursewill approach the Inthe way tho Superintendent ofInsurance isapparent that an investigation such asnro about to conduct to the

of mutters that would be highlyto a District Attorney In deter-

mining whether or not thelaw have committed

It would therefore at this timewhen we nre In the summer

witnesses are more or less unavail-able when it would be looked ax acertain upon the part of GrandJurors to have to serve with

legislative committee it im-proper at this time it seems to me that I

a special Grand Jury tcfthe and circumstanceswith tho management of the

Equitable Life Butautumn the com-

mittee will have made undoubtedly suchprogress that It will beor not are ascertaining would beof value In a criminal Pend-ing such examination thecommittee and tho further examinationwhich I understand the Insurance Commissioner is making I cannot definitelystate that a special Grandnecessary but I am that it willbe no means improbable

I would suggest if it meetswith your honors concurrence that whenthis court adjourns today it adjourn until

in-justice Davy said

Do a for an order empaneling aGrand Jury

I am not asking for It at this timesaid Mr Jerome because if it shall

to be essential the order can I thinkunder the law bo made any Judge ofthe Court In the First Department-And In any event unless it were on ex

torm that should be convenedimpression is that an order would have

to be made a Judge in the FirstDepartment although might

come before It My Im-pression of the statute is that order

have to be made by a Judgeelected In the First Department
