BALTIMORE, June Elm the United States
Circuit Court this morning, the jury, in the
case of Eliza NJ. GOss against the New York
Mutual Life Insurance Company, to recover
$4,000 on life insurance policy issued by
the defendant on the life Of plaintiffs hus-
band, returned a verdict for the full amount
for plaintiff. 1t was alleged that the hus-
band was burned to death in his workshop
near this city, in February, 1872 while ex-
perimenting to find substitute for India
rubber.
The shop was entirely consumed, and the
body of the man was taken from the wreck
with the limbs and face burned off, but the
head and chest preserved. GOss had poll
cies on his life in the New York Mutual In
surance COIn pany for S5000 issued in 1868;
in the Continental Life Insurance Com
pany for 5000; in the Knckerbocker for
5000. and IN the Travellers for $4,000.
Payment was refused on the ground that
the death of Goss had not been proved;
that the body found was so mutiated that
ii could not be recOgnized; that it was not
the body Of GOss, and that there was reason
10 suspect fraud
Suit was then brought against the Mutual
Lite Insurance Company as test case, and
a verdict rendered as above. The case has
been on trial for several days before Judge

represented by the aDlest counsel. The
other companies had counsel present during
the trial. A number of medical and dental
experts were examined as witnesses. A
motion for a new trial has been entered.
