The insurance cases,

have been concluded. There was a
verdict of guilty in every case that the
state undertook to convict in. In pro-

Judge Graham said

true, the most stupendous crime ever
committed in Carolina has been
unearthed. I suppose there is nobody
that had any conception of the degree
to which this had gone. I
can see how people could be drawn
into this nefarious business of
or buying these policies upon these
dying people and people who were
likely to die, but few could be innocent.
In to procure these policies, for-
false and conspiracy
were all committed. There has never
been, within my knowledge, in the
criminal annals of our whole country,
a more gigantic conspiracy than this.
Here we have the greatest crimes
known except rape, murder, arson and
burglary. It seems to have been
on for years, and it has drawn in a great
many unsuspecting people, and these,
in order to make money, either by the
commissions or out of the policies,
have committed these crimes. There
has been enough forgery proven against
Dr. T. to send him to the
penitentiary for one hundred and fifty
years, if all the cases for forgery were
prosecuted against him, and the ex-.
punishment inflicted on him in
each case.
regret circumstances are such that
these men have not all been convicted
of crimes for which I could impose pun-
adequate to the prov-
en, many cases of forgery and false
tense being proven though not charged.
But the crime of conspiracy is a mis-
demeanor and punishable only by
in jail and a fine. The
crimes of false and forgery
are both felonies and can be
by imprisonment in the penitentiary,
and though I regret the same punish-
cannot be meted out to all de-
alike in these cast's, still when
this conspiracy is proven, when false
arc proven, when forgery is
proven to have been committed, then
must discharge my duty in each one of
cases, under the laws of Car-
as I find it laid down in our
statute hooks.
