the law OF Iowa, ever receive the farm

killed, is the opinion of attorneys who
have given thought to the matter.
The law, as laid down in the code Of

this subject, and leaves no room for
doubt. 1t was the intention of the
legislature that it should be made
impossible for murderer TO profit by
his feonious act.
The wording of section 1886 of the
code. is as follows: NO person who
feloniously takes, or causes or pro-
cures another SO to take the life of
lon, on take by devise or legacy
from him, any portion of his estate;
and no beneficiary under any policy
of insurance or certificate of member
ship issued by any benevolent assoc
citation or organization payable upon
the death or disability of any person.
who in like manner takes or causes
or procures to be taken the life upon
which such policy or certificate Is is
sued, or who causes or procures a
disability of said person, shall take the
proceeds of any such policy or certifi-
cate; but in every instance mentioned
in this section, all benefits that would
accrue to any such person upon the
death or disability of the person whose
life is thus taken. or who is thus dis
abled shall become subject to distribu-
ton among the other heirs of such de-
ceased person, according to the rules of
descent and distribution in case OF
death, and in case of disability the
benefits Hereunder shall be paid to the
disabled person"
Under this section, he can not quail
ify as executor unless he be acquitted
OF the charge of first degree murder,
now against him.
