INTERVIEW WITH BIG AUTO RACE FOR TOMORROW OFFICERS FIGHT DUEL BY MISTAKE DEFINITE DAY SAMUEL (VERS YEN'ING EUROPE AWAITS THE OUESTION Case Rivals the Boots Brown Case in Mysterious Phases INSURANCE INVOLVED Judged and Juries Have Been Trying for Years to Get at His Identity- Federal Commission Today Began Investigation of the Subject He Says He is George A. Klmraell but Mother and Sister of Kimmell Say That He is Not the Man. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 28 The strange case of Ahdrew J. White, whose Iden tity lawyers, judges and Juries have been trying to solve for four years, came up here today before a federal commission appointed to examine the object of ordered quest. White Is a convict In Auburn prison, a forger from Cattaraugus county. He was only con victed of larceny In Buffalo and as the amount Involved was small and for a board bill, he was sentenced to sixty days in jail. He was discovered to be Insane and was sent to Matteawan asylum. ' He had previously served Jail torms for petty crimes. While In Matteawan in 1905, White let It be known that he was George A. Kimmell, formerly cashier of the Farmers State Bank at Arkansas City, Kas., who robbed the bank In 1898 and disappeared. This news reached the New York Life Insurance Company In which Kimmell was. Insured for $25. 000. A queer fight then began, the Insurance company on one side en deavoring to prove that White was Kimmell; the defaulting banker's re latives on the other hand striving to discredit the testimony offered by . White and the Insurance company. The beneficiary under the insurance policy Is Mrs. Edna K, Bonsett, of Chicago, Klmmell's sister. The Investigation brought into the case Charles A. John son, cashier of the First National Bank of Nlles, Mich., Klmmell's uncle, who, In 1901, at time of Klmmell's dis appearance was not connected with the alleged madman In Matteawan, wreck ed his bank and was sentenced to ten years in prison. While the tight over White's identity had been in progress, White was de clared In 1906 by a court to be sane. He was discharged from Matteawan and Went back to Cattaraugus county where he committed the forgery for which he Is now Imprisoned. Two months previous to White's re lease from Matteawan the federal court in St. Louis decided, against the in surance company In a milt brought against it by the -'receiver of the First National Bank of Nlles, Mich., for $7, 736 Insurance on the life of George A. Kimmell, who had procured a loan from his uncle, Johnson, cashier of the bank, one one of his policies, The Jury held that the man While In Matteawan was not Kimmell; that Kimmell was legally deadseven years having elapsed since his disappearance. The case has been up In New York state numerous times, but no definite result has been reached. Klmmell's sister and his mother are here.; White asserts that they are his mother and sister. The two women declare he Is not George A. Kimmell. Mr. O'Brien, who Is here as assistant to J. H. Mcintosh, general counsel for the New York Life, pointed to the sister as she was In the prison office before , the hearing, saying: "Look at her, then go to the Bertll lon room and look at the convict's pic ture and see whether they are brother and sister." The sister fled from the office. ' The sister. Mrs. Edna Bonsett, origin ally the beneficiary in the three Kim- 1 inell policies, amounting to $25,000, had assigned them to Johnson, Klmmell's uncle. Former Judge H. J. Hlnes, of Chicago, counsel for Mrs. Bonsett, who Is defending the policies, contended that White was insane and that his ; evidence should have no weight, the fact that he- had been committed to Matteawan asylum proving his in sanity. Whit gave a sensational explanation of how he had been ma-de temporarily Insane, bringing Into the already com plicated case the robbery wore than ten years ago at Omaha at: the office of the Pacific Express Company of $50,000. He said that A. J. Hunt, head bookkeeper of the express company, was arrested for irregularities and that an Investigation implicated the 'WFw WW 'r: Seventeen Racing Machines Start in Dare Devil Spin for Vanderbilt Cup (By Leased Wire to The Times.)
