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
