Strasburg Trginian aud N,Cs l.: Ii the
case of Ktna Life Insurance Co. of New
York VS.. Frank Ripberger's administrative,
Judge Turner has decided in favor of the
plaintiff on an appeal. The case briefly
stated is about as follows, we believe:
Frank Ripberger, a citizen of this place,
had his lite insured in the said Company
for s, OC0. A short time thereafter the
insurer died and the amount of his life
policy was paid to his widow as his adj
ministratrix. BY her the money was de-
posted in Massanutten Bank in this
place. Later, upon information obtained
by the Insurance Company that the de-
ceased was not an insurable case, the
money was attached in the Banks hands,
pending a suit to vItiate the payment OF
the policy. Dispositions were taken in
this place (Col. E. Z. Stickley, p. q, and
Hon. NJ. L. Walton, p. d. and upon this
evidence Judge Turner has decided that
the Insurance Company was not liable
aud that the money shall be returned to
it,
