Deeded Away St. James and Washington Life Buildings, He Tells Swann Grand Jury to Get Case New York and Pennsylvania Authorities Co-operate in Pressing Charges Stonewall J. Jackson, alleged "dummy" in the transactions which led the Pittsburgh Life and Trust Company into the hands of a receiver. appeared at the District Attorney's office yesterday and told his story to Mr. Swann, Jesse S.
