Suit Over $1,000 Endowment
Policy Won by Leonard

IN PENNSYLVANIA COURTS YEAHS
Caused by the Transfer Of An Insur-
anee Policy by Swithin shortidse Of
Media, Who Killed His Young Wife
While Insane.

A case which has been before the
Pennsylvania courts since September.
1897. i'm which DR.. Evan G. Shortlidge,
of this city, is personally interested.
was recently settled. 1t involved an
endowment policy for about $1,000 on
the life OF Swithin c. Shortlidge. A.
brother Of DR. Shortlidge in the Prov
ident Life and Trust Company.
It will be remembered that a number
.of years ago while temporarily insane.
Swithin c. Shortlidge killed his wife
at his home near Media. lie was con-
fined IN a Norristown hospital for in
sane for a year or so. lie was then
tried FOR muredr and acquitted on a
plea OF insanity. It seems that DR..
Shortlidge and one Henry c. Howard
kept up the payments on the insurance
policy which matured some years ago
and which resulted in this long legal
battle.
Swithin c. Shortlidge made several
assignments of this insurance policy.
The first general assignment was made
for the benefit of his creditors in June.
1892; the second to his wife. now de-
ceased, in consideration of marriage,
in March, 1898; the third in October.
1894. to his brother, DIR. Evan G.. Short
lidge and Henry c. Howard jointly for
money advanced, and the fourth and
last to his children direct.
Since September, 1897. the question
has been fought I'm courts in Philadel-
phia and Media as to who should get
the proceeds of the insurance policy
The supreme court reversing the deci-
sion of the lower court some months
ago awarded the fund to the estate
OF Swithin c. Shortlidge's wife. When
the estate was audited the creditors
again sought to prevent distribution
After the payment OF debts against
the estate the balance OF the fund was
to go to DR.. Shortlidge and Mr.. How.
j ard on the ground that Swithin c
Shortidge was not mentally compe
tent at the time the assignment wai
made and further that ii was to de
fraud the general creditors.
The question as TO the validity o
the assignment TO Or. Shortlidge ant

Arrangement OF Pairs Assures

Annapolis, Jan. SO.-There was no
change in the senatorial balloting to-

What German managers will decide
TO do before the next balloting is not
certain, but the choice is plain; eat
humble pie by going back to Smith and
making him a formidable rival of Cor
