Uneasy lies the corpse that bothers the
life insurance companies. Dwight, of
Bingham, N. Y, already famous as the
man who died in time to prevent the pay
ment of his second quarterly premium on
life policies aggregating a quarter OF q
million, has been dead and buried for
months. but physician employed as an
expert by the companies that are loatn TO
part with their cash developed theory
that since self poisoning couldn' { be shown,
the deceased, who certainly must have
committed suicide, probably hung himself
until almost asphyxiated. then removed
the cord, summoned his friends to his bed
side and died like gentleman. The doc
tor admitted that it would have been dill
cult for the dying man to have hidden the
cord and weight after he had strangled
himself sufficiently to cause death, and
that he hadn't heard of any such articles
being found In the vicinity of the bed. he
insisted, however. that there was very
suspicious mark upon the neck OF the de-
ceased, aud that it must have been caused
by a rope, and the rope must have been
drawn about the neck by the deceased be-
cause, well because the insurance COM
panies didn't want to pay the forfeit. The
body, highly decomposed and offensive,
must needs be dragged from the grave
under form of law, and there, sure
enough, greatly to the delight of the ex-
pert, was the suspicious mark of which he
had numerous plaster casts made. The
theory was working admirably until the
undertaken appeared with an implement
of his profession called a chin-rest, and
deposed that there was no mark upon the
neck of the deceased until after he had
used his continuance in the preparation Of
the corpse for the grave. The insurance
companies will now endeavor to show thai
