Poor Heirs Who Sold Them their Claims
Recovering the Policy Amounts.
READING, PA, Dec. Ga brisk war is
being carried on against assigned insur-
ance policies in the Lebanon Valley. BY
recent decision of the Supreme Court
the heirs of deceased poor people who
were insured for large amounts are en-
abled to bring suit and recover the money
paid on insurance policies. The plan
heretofore pursued by spectators was
this: Rich men would induce
poor children of aged poor
people to insure their parents for large
amounts. Being unable to keep up the
premium they transferred the policies to
rich spectators who had no insurance
interests. The companies paid the
amount to the speculators, having been
Unidentified by bond. Now the heirs sue
the spectators and recover. To-day
three cases were decided, involving $12,-
600, which is now to be paid to the real
heirs of the deceased. The spectators
are alarmed. Hundreds of such specula-
tive policies have been paid, and will be

One Hundred Armed Men Meet and
Talk But Fail to Storm the Jail.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Dec. 6.-The situa-
tion here remains unchanged The excit-
ing rumOrs current last night had some
foundation. Scouts who were sent out
side the city observed at about midnight
as many as 100 armed men in clump of
woods mile from the city, discussing
whether or not it would be advisable to
make an attack on the jail in which
Wesley Posey is confined. From words
caught by the eavesdrOppers it was
learned that the crowd had been disap-
pointed i'll not receiving expect
ed reinf0rcements from other
quarters. They had endeavOred to
excite the public feeling in other towns
against the accused and receiving eX-
pressiOns of sympathy from Springvlile,
20 miles distant, telegrams were sent to
that place asking that $50 men be dis
patched at once to Birmingham. Informa-
tion, however, reached Springville
that the troops here had been reinforced
and the crowd that was about
to depart from that place aband 0ned their
project and dispersed. Judge Spratt to-
day appointed three brilliant LAWYERS to
conduct the defense. The trial will be-
gin at O'Clock tomorrow, and some ap-
prehension is felt of renewal of the ex-
citement.
