Dw1GHT'S INSURANCE.-Fifteen physicians eX-
amined deliberately the dead body Of the gentle
man man up at Binshamton who is accused by, some
insurance men OF having played improperly the
great game in Which you have to die to win, hy
having cheated in tie way he died But the
physicians have found nothing to sustain The
views or tue insurance men. IL is reported that
they have all signed one statement OF tie
autopsy, and consequently that there is no dis
agreement among them on the pathological con-
ditlOnS actually found. II is held by the physi-
clans Who attended the gentleman i'm his last
illness that he died OF gastric fever. which
originated in malarial cacheXia, and it does not
appear that the insurance doctors dispute this
One of them-Dr. Delafield, of this city-is ie-
ported as saying that the death was due 20
paralysis OF the heat. Paralysis Of the heart is
dynamic rather than an organic fact 1t does
not make pathological record, and when death
has rendered impossible all perception OF tie
dynamicS OF the case the tracing such cause
OF death mus, necessarily be subject to much
uncertainty. We do not believe the insurance
companies can make case on the mans death
though they may on those pulmonary hem
olThages which lie did not report when he OBJ
tanned the policies.-tN. \. Herald.
