His final request is that out of the

policy on his life, under which his
wife is the beneficiary, the expenses
of a simple funeral, be paid.
Concerning the insurance policy,
there is no certainty that it will be
paid. The agents maintain that Travis
nisstated his occupation when apply

kown he was engaged in the hazardous
career of burglary they would never
