some INTERESTING CASES
DECIDED BY THE COURTS

able by law, the penalty being a fine
of $40, does not amount to a INSIDE
meanor, and the only remedy is a
civil action. The mere playing of
game Of baseball on Sunday is not OF
itself, necessarily, a breach of the
peace, justifying arrest, and before .
summary arrest can be made not only
must overt acts be committed in the
presence of the officer, but they must
be violent and dangerous. The SUI
preme Court of Michigan was under
the impression that the relator ex-
poets such games to be prevented by
the arrest Of those engaged in them.
The law has prescribed another
method for infractions of the statute,
a penalty to be collected through jul
dicial proceedings, and summary ar
rest, even after the violation of the law,
is not contemplated or authorized.

THE SACRIFICE
OF BOB VERNON |

By H. S. CANFIELD, Jr.

The air was portentous of great
happenings and Louise Pierce knew
before parting the portieres and enter
Ing the dimly lighted room that Arm
strong had come to ask reward for the
long months of his wooing and to
make the last onslaught against the
citadel of her heart.
Armstrong, handsome, dashing, with
just suggestion of dissipation in his
lean face and with rather the air of
unwisely expended nervous force about
his speech and actions, put all the ar
dor of his nature into winning this
beautiful woman. Just CLINT of sat
listed vanity mingled with the light of
oonquering love in his eyes when
Louise allowed her arms to creep shy
ly and slowly up to his shoulders and
around his neck as he crushed her in
his arms.
This is happiness, happiness, hap
piness," she murmured to herself
again and again as she watched Arm
strong's nervous stride carry him from
the house an hour later. Her heart
beat in palpitating rhythm to his ev-
cry step. His ardor had swept away
doubt.
The words of love and blind hope
that felt haltingly from the stammer-
ing lips of Bob Vernon as he sat, bash
full as schoolboy, at her side on the
evening following the eventful after.
noon, caused her genuine heart pangs.
She had tried to check him; but he
had gone ahead in the same persist
ent, plodding fashion in which he did
everything else. Frankly she told him
of her acceptance of his rival; and
with touching generosity of feeling, he
wished her happiness of her choice.

There was not the feeling of perfect
love there in her heart, however, aft

suggestion Of growing doubt.

f1oridity, self-evidently one of purple

From his stool in the teller's cage of
the Third National he could see ev-

There was a rapid decline in Urban

whispers about him, for the bank had

connected the cashiers pallor and set
lips with the madness of the market;

Forfeiture of Insurance for Nom
Payment Of Premiums. Insurance pol
icies sued on in Haas v. Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York, 121
Northwestern Reporter, 996, contained
no express provision for a forfeiture
because of failure to pay the annual
premiums when due, nor any provision
from which an inference might be
drawn that failure to pay the annual
premiums would avoid the policies
and work a forfeiture thereof. The
policies were issued on the 20-year dis
tribution plan. Four full year pre-
miums were paid on one policy and
three on the other. No part of such
sum, nor the accumulated surplus un
der the policy,was returned or tend
cred to the insured but remained in
possession of the insurer available
as premium to extend the insurance
until after insureds death. Counsel
for plaintiff asserted with confidence In
their brief that no case could be found
where policy, containing no provis-
ion for forfeiture, had been held void
or non-forceable because of failure to
pay the premiums, nor was the judge
able to find one. The Nebraska Su.
preme Court concluded that a life pol
icy when once it takes effect by pay.
fent of the first years premium and de-
livery, does not terminate at the end
of the year, but is a contract for the
life of the assured, and is not forfeited
for non-payment unless the policy con-
tans a specific provision to that eff

Former Jeopardy. Just before re-
cess for dinner the jury in an assault
case received its charge. Defendants
attorney having refused to accept a
sealed verdict, or to permit the jury
to dispense and report their finding Ia
ter, the court instructed the sheriff not
to permit the jury to dispense, but to
inform him at the proper time, when
he would come and receive the YER
dict. In disobedience to this order,
the sheriff permitted the jury to dis
perse. Thereafter, the judge having
returned, and inquired for a verdict,
one member of the jury handed him
the indictment, with verdict writ
ten thereon, upon which sentence was
then pronounced. In Hopkins V. State,
Go Southeastern Reporter, 81, the Geor
gia Court of Appeals held the prisoner
entitled to an immediate discharge
the verdict being a nullity because
the dispersal of the jury must be
deemed at least equivalent to a mis-
trial, yet inasmuch as this mistrial was
occasioned without the consent of the
defendant, and not caused by any such
necessity as is recognized by law be-
ing sufficient ground for the ordering
of a mistrial, defendant cannot again

Excuse of Juror Because of Wife's
Anger. During trial juror evinced
a marked desire to be excused from
further service. The court asked him
if there was any reason why he could
not proceed with the trial. He replied,
II would rather be home with my
wife," To the courts inquiry regard
ing the wife's condition the juror re,
piled, "She is sick enough" The court
then asked If a physician had been
called, the reply being that he did not
care to say in the presence of every
body. The court, the opposing counsel,
and the anxious juror then drew apart
and discussed the ailing wife. 1t APP
peared that she was not sick at all,
but that she objected to his serving on
the jury, and demanded that he be ex-
cused. The juror was very anxious
to please his wife, and manifested
some agitation, because he said he
was afraid that il he did not go home
she would deprive him of her pres
ence The trial judge refused to rec
ognize the gravity of the situation.
In People v. Lutzow, SO Northeastern
Reporter, 1919, the Illinois Supreme
Court sustained the trial court, holding
that the mere fact that a mans wife
becomes angry because she does not
be excused, does not warrant his re
lease from jury duty.
