TO REVIEW MccUE CASE.
Supreme Court Will Tackle Big In
surance TanRle.

The Supreme Court of the United States
today announced its determination to re-
view the findings OF the lower courts in
the case of McCue VS.. the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company. This
case involves the question as to whether
the ordinary life insurance policy insures
against hanging under sentence of the
law.
McCue is one Of the heirs Of the late
Mayor McCue Of Charlottesville, Va, who
was hanged a few years ago on the
charge of numbering his wife. The in
surance company refused to make pay
ment on a policy amounting to $1,000
The United States circuit court for the
western district of Virginia decided in
favor of the company, holding that death
on the gallows was not one of the risks
against which McCue was insured, but
the court of appeals FOR the fourth cir
cult reversed that finding, and held in
favor Of the McCue policy. The Supreme
Court will go over the entire record and
decide the case upon it's merits.
