Arthur Goebel, meanwhile. sat

Youtsey was forced into seat, he
shouted again:
"Goebel is not dead-nll the demons

"Mr. Sheriff. II the defendant does

the audience could not be forced to

sey settled back In his chair. closed

lapse. He waved his handkerchief

Finally quiet was restored and Judge
Williams asked Arthur Goebel another

A REMARKABLE
INSURANCE SUIT

philadeIpIIia, Oct 1O.-A suit to re-
cover insurance on the life of his wire.
whom he killed December 81. 1913. mas
been commenced in this city by Profess
sor Swi,hen c. Shortlidgc. now resid-
ing in Chester county. The suit. which
is TO recover S7,O22 from the Provident
Life and Trust Company. Is one OF the
most remarkable in the history OF lie
insurance.
The tragedy which ended the life OF
Mrs. ShortliIge was enacted In Media
on a New Years eve. and caused II
great sensation. Several years before
that date. Professor Shortlidge had
come to Media with his wife and fam
lily and esta blshed what was known as
the Media Academy for Young Men.
For several years the venture was sue
ccssful. the school having high class
patronage Then Mrs. Shortlidge died.
In November 1893. Professor Short
lidge married Miss Marie Dixon Jones.
shortly after his second marriage the
professor began 10 act strangely. ON
the night of the killing. six weeks after
the marriage. Professor Shortlidge In
vitcd his wife TO go out with him for IL
walk. a short distance from the house
he shot her through the heart and then
attempted suicide, but was disarmed
by neighbor.
In short trial which followed. Pro-
fessor Shortlidge was acquitted on the
ground of insanity. and was confined
in an asylum until year ago.
There is no case of n parallel nature
in the insurance annals of this state.
A life insurance man recalled case
which occurred at Sedalia. Missouri,
several years ago. but which does not
establish a precedent for the present
suit. by reason of its sudden and tragic
ending. A saloon keeper in that city
insured the life of his wife for 5000,
and then in rage killed her by forcing
red hot poker down her throat. He
was put on trial for his life and after
n fierce legal battle was acquitted on Il
technicality.
After his ncOuittal he sued the life
insurance company, and so far as the
law was concerned he had it entirely on
his side. Public feeling had been
wrought to such pitch. however. that
no jury could be found to give the mur-
dercr verdict. and finally the indig-
nant citizens ended the matter by TAX
ing the plaintiff out and hanging him to
n tree.

Decision in Detective Suit.

Judge Scott. In the District Court.
rendered Il decision in the case of Pin
kerton National Detective Agency vs..
John Ward. Thomas Blythe and
Charles L. Stone of Evanston. in which
the plaintiff claimed payment for de
tective services In the Booth murder
case which resulted in the arrest and
trial of Crocker several years ago. The
defendants claimed they had contracted
to pay, for Harvey Booth the expense
OF the claimants services, but Booth
being dead at the time, they could nor
be held to account, also that they had
made payment on the contract which
they supposed was the limit of their
obligation. The judge ruled that as all
parties knew of Harvey Booths death
that defense was surplusage and
could not be pleaded; also that the con,
tract was n continuing contract. the
plaintiffs not having been notified 10
the contrary. An appeal to the Stair
Supreme Court will be taken.
