Important Ruling as to Life Insurance.

WASHINGTON Nov. 14-The United States
Supreme Court, through Chief Justice Fuller,
has rendered an opinion of unusual interest to
holders of life insurance policies. Thomas l..
Hume, of the District of Columbia, died in 1881,
totally insolvent, but leaving $50, 900 in life in
surance policies. The policies were, by their
terms, payable either to the widow or children
OF the deceased. The administrators and credi-
tors of Hume sought to force application of the
proceeds Of the policies to the payment Of the
debts due the creditors. the ground that the
premiums paid by Hume were fraudulent
transfer Of an insolvent estate and void against
creditors, and that. consequently. the proceeds
of the policies should inurs to tho benefit OF
Hume's estate. and not the bensfcisries named
in the policies. The Supreme Court holds that
the beneiciaries are entitled to the proceeds OF
all the policies without any deduction whatever
on account of the premiums paid, holding that
q husband and father has a full right to insure
his life in the interest of his wife and children,
and that whore such policy is effected in the
name OF the beneficiaries it is part OF the
estate of a deceased insolvent, and therefore can
not be regarded q fraudulent assignment of
any part OF his estate when effected

opinion 70 young man of the city. and
the latter succeeded in having the charge
against him dismissed. When the young

however too slick for his two captors and
he made his escape and has not since been
seen.
