SON AND FATHER HELD IN EAST CHICAGO DEATH INSURANCE POLICY WAS CANCELLED Northern States Life Insiir- ance Head Figures in Bass Case Machlr Dorsey, chairman of the board of directors of the Northern States Life Insurance company in Hammond, today told The Times that his knowl- I edge of a plot against his life by Dr. Andrew j. Bass, confessed insurance murderer, was limited i to what he "had read in the i newspapers.

Bass, who confessed in Benton-ville, Saturday night, that he had murdered William R. Pearman in order to collect $200,000 insurance money also told Arkansas officials that he had negotiated with gunmen to take Dorsey's life. The plot failed when Dorsey cancelled the 5100,000 policy, according- to the Hammond man's explanation. BOYHOOD FRIENDS. Acquaintances since their boyhood days, Dorsey and Bass, a wealthy retired dentist, dealt jointly in Kansas City real estate on several occasions.

The last deal, and the one which resulted in their severing re-lations, involved approximately $200,000 in business and residential property. Dorsey took out the $100,000 insurance policy to use as collateral in the deal, but cancelled it, he said, when Bass failed to post similar security. The Hammond man said that Hie actions of his partner in the deals gave him no reason to be suspicious but that he cancelled the insurance because it was good business to do so when it appeared the proposition had failed. Stories by Bass that Dorsey owed him large sums of money were branded as lies by the latter. According to the confession made by Bass, the dentist selected Dorsey as his first victim.

When the policy was cancelled, however, he began looking around for another prospect and selected Pearman. The latter was slain several weeks ago on a lonely Arkansas road after he had assigned, a $200,000 policy to Bass to serve as collateral in a purported land deal. CHANGES COM'KSSION In an earlier confession, Bass said three St. Louis gangsters had killed Pearman, but Saturday he admitted to his own attorney that no other persons were linked with the plot. Dorsey said he and Bass had been partners in many transactions and tlrat the latter had never, to his knowledge, engaged in any shady dealings.

The prisoner will plead insanity when arraigned in court, according to news dispatches. Dorsey has been in Hammond for several months, having come here from Indianapolis where he was connected with the same company. He in very prominent socially and professionally in the Calumet region despite his short residence hf re. BRAKEMAN IS CRUSHED TO DEATH INDIANAPOLIS. April 21.
