The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Hartford, Connecticut, Is
just the one we should expect to try to
bulldose its policy holders into believing
that in the event Of the adoption Of the
bimetallic system their policies would be
worth only so cents on the dollar. This
is the same company that attained such
~unenviable notoriety by attempting to
escape the payment Of the policy held by
the widow Of the late Louis B. MoWhir-
ter OF Fresno. While all the other COM
panies in which MeWhirter was insured
settled with his widow. the Connecticut
Mutual tried to prove that he had CON-
mitted suicide with the intention Of de-
frauding it. 1t made . nasty fight in
the courts, but was beaten. We are quite
certain. therefore, that IL the Connecticut
Mutual thought the free coinage Of silver
would enable ID to settle with the benef-
Charles Of its policy holders on . basis Of
so cents ON the dollar. IL would keep
mighty mum about it.-Stookton Mail.
