| For two years previous to his death, Hen
~ s. Newton had carried policy for 1900
i in the Conn. General Lie insurance 10,
of Hartford, Conn. The premium for the
present wear became due Jan. Sth, al a
/ time when MIR. Newton was very sick.
Mr. Newton died Jan. 18th with the pre-
MUM unpaid and by the terms of the pol
/ icy it had lapsed and the company claimed
they were not legally holden TO pay H.
Mrs. Newton put the matter into Vim. III.
Dubois hands TO collect, and since the
18th Of January he has been in correspond
ence with the president of the company,
asking payment of the amount OF the pol
icy on the grounds that at the time this
two years premium became due Mr.. New
ton was incapacitated from paying it by
reason of the illness which terminated IA
tally, and that he had no notice among his
papers of its becoming due at that time,
so that his wife knew nothing about it..
The correspondence was carried on in a
business like manner with no threats any
without absolute refusal OF the compand
at any time TO pay. 1t terminated Tues
day by the president OF the company come
| ing here on that day and on a statement
of.all the circumstances in the case he
handed Mr.. Dubois check for the full
amount of the policy. Mr.. Russell is very
evidently a thorough gentleman and un-
derstands the science of life insurance as
well as any one in the country. He says
his company never takes advantage of
technicalities where the spirit and intent
/ Of the policy is honestly observed. In this
case he wanted to know the facts and then
was ready and willing to adjust the claim.
