SOME DECISIONS
Supreme Court Dismissed Lord
BarringtOn's Case Leaving Him
to Face a Death Sentence.
MISSOURI LAW SUSTAINED
suicide Of an Insured Person Shall
Not Constitute . Valid Defence
In Resisting Payment on
the Policy.

Washington, April 2S.-In an opin-
ion by Chief Justice Fuller the s'l-
preme court Of the United States Nj :
day dismissed the case Of Frederick
Seymour. alias Lord harrington,
under sentence Of death in 81. Louis
on the charge Of numbering James P.
MoCann In the outskirts Of that city
in June, 1903, in effect affirming the
decision Of the supreme court of Mis-
souri, and thus sustaining the verdict
OF guilty returned by the trial court.
The caseshas been before the public
for severa, years and attracted much
attention, largely because of Barring
tens pretense Of bearing an English
title under which, shortly before the
tragedy with which his name is con-
nected he married lady Of good fam
lily residing in Kansas City.
harrington made a vigorous fight
in the St. Louis courts, .ccntending
that his conviction was due to pre-
judice and that the charge was not
sustained by prof. When the Mis-
souri, supreme court decided against
him he brought the case to the fed
eral Supreme court on writ Of err
ror, co1tend ng that his trial had not
been fair.
In deciding the case Of Amanda s.
Whitfield OF Kansas City, Mo-, versus
the Aetna Life In3urance company Of
Hartford, Conn, the court Monday
construed the Missouri state law pro-
viding that the suicide Of an insured
person shall not constitute a valid de-
Tense In resisting payment on the
policy against the company. The
opinion was delivered by Justice Har-
Ian and reversed the decision Of the
circuit court Of appeals 70 the Eighth
circuit, which decision was In favor
of the company. The policy involved
was for $4,000 on the life of James
Whitfield, husband Of the plaintiff,
and was taken out in 1900, about is
months before the death by suicide.
There was a clause exempting the
company from paying more than
$500 in case Of suicide and this sum
the federal courts awarded. The court
Of appeals took the position that an
expansive construction Of the law
would rrender the statute violative Of
the common law allowing freedom
in contracts. The court therefore
held that the state law could not
properly he construed as prohibiting
he right to classify risks which had
been done in providing for the pay
m9nt of only $500 in case of the death |
4 the In u ell by his own hands.
The supreme cocrt took the oppo-
sic view.
The case Of Aggie Myers, the Kan
cas- City woman who recently was
sent to the Missouri state prison for |
life on the charge of numbering her |
husband, which was brought to the
supreme court Of the United States
before the Communication of her SEN
tence Of death, was Monday dismissed
by the court.
