This is the Question on Which the
Decision Hinges, Defense contendins
That Unless Death Prior to Time of
Lapsine of Certificate is Proved, the
Order is Not Liable.
DID THOMAS PAINE SUICIDE
snec,al TO Times Republican.

Davenport. Feb. 26.--The case of Mrs
Fannie Y. Paine. vs. the Sovereign
Camp. Woodnen of the World. will be
called for trial in the Scott county dis
trict court, Davenport. Monday next
LIT promises to be a case celebre. II
1.-THE reports of the nature OF the de-
Tense are true. Mrs. Paine seeks pay
ment OF an insurance certificate in the
order of which her husband was
member at the time when, as She de-
clares. he died Her husband. Thomas
Paine. is alleged by her to have COM
mitted suicide in small lake near
Madison, Wis. Her claim is that she
received n letter from him saying he
was going to jump into the lake AMI
she will present n sworn statement OF
| a boarding house keeper at Madison.
saying that Paine roomed at her house
and disappeared about the time he had
set for shutting of the coil. Whether
Mrs Paine has further information 10
confirm her claim that her husband
died at that time. has not been dis
closed In the pleadings filed by her
lattorneys. Lane e. Waterman.
When man disappears and remains
away from, home without due cause and
lis not heard from In seven years the
presumption of the law Is that ne is
dead. But the certificate OF Thomas
Paine's membership In the Woodmen
!! of the World lapsed for non payment
OF dues in 1896. shortly after his dis
appearance. and the defense will con-
tend that unless death prior to tina,
time Is shown, the order Is not liable.
Moreover the defense will attempt to
show that Paine borrowed money in
Texas a month or, two after the laps
ing OF his certificate. and will have Wit
nesses 70 identify the picture and
handwriting OF Paine. as those OF the
man with whom they had business
dealings during the years since the
supposed suicide at Madison.
The defense does not contend that
there has been any conspiracy to de-
fraud the order. and Charles T. Cooper.
attorney for the order, says that Mrs.
Paine is credited with believing that
her husband is dead. and committed
suicide at the time and place and in
the manner she alleges.
Leading men OF the Woodmen Of the
World will be present at the trial.
