IMPORTANT DECISION IN LIFE INsUR.
ANCE CAsE.-An important case has Just been
decided in the United States Circuit Court at
Dubuque, Iowa. In the year 1871, c. l.. Ho-
gan, an express agent at Boone, committed
suicide. He had two policies of insurance upon
his life, one by the Mutual Life Insurance Co.
of New York. This company refused to pay
the policy, because the deceased committed
suicide, which was a violation of the terms of
insurance. Suit was brought by the admins
traitor, who admitted the suicide, but it was
claimed that the act was committed while the
deceased labored under temporary insanity, ard
evidence was introduced to show that great
change took place in Hogan during the last
few months of his life-that from being of
happy, jovial and affectionate disposition, he
became morose, ill-tempered, and very abusive
toward his family. Also that he complained
good deal of his head, and in various ways
manifested alteration of mind. Med ical testi-
mony was introduced to show that he was in

respondent at times during the last wear of his
lie, but contended that it was owing to unhap-
Ply family relations, embarrassed pecuniary cir
Sumstances and trouble growing out of an en-
