TOOK OUT MILLION INSURANCE

TOPEKA, KAN, Sept 24.-(Spec-
iaD-When Judge Smith Mcpherson,
of the southern district of Iowa, sit
ting in the United States Circuit
Court for Kansas, issued an order
the body of Lucius H. Perkins be eX-
humed and a pathological and chem
ical analysis made, he established a
precedent absolutely unique in judic-
ial annals.
He announced that his court had
the authority to have this body eX-
humed, that an insurance company
could obtain evidence that the holder
of a policy committed suicide.
Lucius H. Perkins was one of the
best known Kansas lawyers. He was
a cultured gentleman. In fact, he
prided himself on his culture, and he
had said that at his death he would
much prefer to be known as man of
culture than as man of wealth.
He had large law practice until
recent years, when he dabbled in
mining schemes and land invest
ments, and did not have the time to
devote to his law work
Two years ago he began building a
home He drew his own plans and had
it built exactly to suit himself. 1t
cost about $4,000, and it is situated
in one of the most beautiful spots in
Lawrence and close to the Kansas
University grounds.
When the building was almost fin
ished, it was partially burned, The
fire was thought to have been of in
cendiary origin, but this was never
proved. He collected more than$S,000
insurance and removed all the burned
section, replaced it and continued the
work.

Applied For Insurance.

1t was finished late last spring. On
the evening of June 1 Mr.. Perkins
went up on the roof of the house, os-
tensibly to see about some repairs
which he thought necessary, as spar
rows were building nests under the
tile roofing While inspecting the
roof he lost his balance and fell to
the ground about forty feet.
He had been standing near the
ewes, just to the right of the tower in
the center of the house.
He struck on his feet on the soft
earth. When picked up he was I'M
conscious, and four hours later was
dead The attending physician said
that no bones were broken and that
he died from conclusion of the brain.
1t was asserted that the jar from the
fall had caused a conclusion at the
base Of the spine, which was commu-
nicated to the brain.
About two years ago Mr.. Perkins
began making inquiries about life in
surance. He asked all of the large
companies to make examinations and
then to write sample policies, each
company submitting all the different
policies which wer written by it.
In all, Mr.. Perkins applied for life in
surance amounting to $1,30O,000.
Some of the companies refused to
submit samples to him and let him
take his choice or refuse the policies
altogether. Some of the companies
did do this, and about $7500OO in in
surance was written on his life.
Afterwards some of the insurance
was cancelled by the companies, but
there was in force at the time of his
death $631 600 in life insurance.
Posted Up on POisOns.
Early last winter Mr. Perkins was
asked to speak at the annual meeting
of the Kansas Bar Association He
accepted, and selected as his subject
some of the famous insurance cases
in which the policy holders had com
mitted suicide or was thought to have
attempted it.
1t is said by his friends that he de-
termined to make a most exhaustive
address on this subject, and to do this
he wrote many letters to chemists at
