 Excluding the face value of the life insurance policies, the estimated value of the assets, according to MT. Bige- lows figures. Is about $1,419,000, but Attorney Spooner said as soon as the exact value of these assets is deter mined it was probable that there would be a considerable change in these to- tals, both of the liabilities and of the assets.
