It Grant Slaughter, an insurance
man from Louisville. and Dr. WIN. L.
R)tman came on Friday and askrd per-
mission Of the widow OF the LATE NJ. W
| Johnson, toexhume his remains for the
purpose of holding post mortsm exam
inalion 10 ascertain the cause OF his death
AS be died suddenly, and had $4,000
Insurance, including life and accident.
Toe proceeding was unusual and, for a
time. Mrs johnson objected, but her
friends finally obtained her consent and
the body Was examined on Saturday in
the presence of the local physicians and
number OF people VINO had nothing in
view hut desire to satisfy their curioei
ty. The brain, heart, liver, kidneys,
stomach aud spinal cord were removed
and taken to Louisville for analysis. The
result will not be known for some time,
but the impression is that the immediate
cause OF death was heart disease, as indi.
cations pointed to the fact that he had
fatty heart and no blood was in ii, show
ing dsordered condition of that organ.
The theory that he took poison will not
likely hold good, although it is claimed
that he used morphine for some time
previous TO his death. A number OF peo-
Pile we're unjustly incensed at the pro-
ceediug, when il WAS a protection to
which the companies we're entitled, con-
sidering the amount OF insurance, the
financial condition OF the insured and
the circumstances surrounding the death.
The impression prevails, however, that
20 fraud in the applications for insurance
can be proved and that the $40 900 life
insurance will be collected. there being
some question about the accident insuT.
ancs, although deceased met with an ac-
cident about ak weeks before his death.
Tue case IL An interesting Que and the
result OF the analysis will bs watched
with considerable anxiety. IL is said
that he carried $4,000 in The Mutual OF
New York, $4,000 in the Michigan Mu-
tusl, s50, 900 in the New York Life and
go, 600 accident Insurance
