NEW DECISION
Louisville Judge Establishes a
Precedentin Insurance Case.
Incontestible Policies Cannot BE
Cancelled for Fraud After
Death of Insured.

A decision that will be OF interest
to insurance men all over the state,
as well as to policy holders has been
decided by Judge Field at Louisville,
aud involves the incontestibility clause
of insurance policies. The case was
that Of Marie K. Whitehead against
the Kansas Mutual and Illinois Life
InsuIan"e Companies. U. N. White
head, the plaintiffs husband, took out
q policy for So 900 in February. 1898,
in the Kansas Mutual He paid the
premiums on the policy up to Novem-
Der, 1900, when the company refused
to accept the next premium on the
ground that Whitehead had secured
the policy by fraud, representing
that he had no lung trouble, when he
was really suffering from consump-
tion. The policy contained clause
providing that 1t was inoonte stible
after two years except for non-pay-
ment of premium. Whitehead died in
1902, having repeatedly rendered the
premiums due on the policy to the
company. The company as often tend
cred back those premiums already
paid. claiming that il had cancelled
the policy. Later the Illinois Life
absorbed the Kansas Mutual and the
former company, when sued by
whitehead's widow on the policy,
claimed that il had only assumed the
active policies of the Kansas Mutual.
Judge Field sustained a demurrer to
the answer upon the ground that had
the Kansas NJ ulual wished to cancel
the policy it should have brought suit
during his life to do so. He having
paid the premiums and now being
dead. the policy cannot be contested.

chine and the State administration
stood in regard to his candidacy
if they too we're opposed to it?
Yet, l declare to you, fellow-citi-
zens, for months l was led to be-
lieve, from their reticence, and &C.
casional reference in the daily
press, that Gov. Dockery was at
heart in favor of the man of little
merit and unmeasured pretension;
that the officers under him were
only awaiting opportunity to de-
clare themselves worshippers of
the sun new risen in the political
heavens and fercely glaring down
through the lurid clouds itself had
conjured from the elements. But,
to change the simile-your ass
ever brays out of season and gives
himself away, though he assumes
the roar of the lion. When Folk,
instigated by necessity to bear out
his false2charge of fraud at the st.
Louis primaries, attacked Gov.
Dockery, he made a grave mistake,
but thank him for it. 1t has set
me right concerning some people
whose wisdom or sincerity | was
about to call in question. All
glory to Gov. Dockery for having
writ down Joey Folk as he is and
set the seal of irrefragable truth to
the document!
