DR.. Abernethy as he had done hereto
fore. He never told me l could carry
i TO DR.. Campbell. this being tie
first time | ever heard DR.. CampbeilS
name mentioned about it THE
writer had asked II ne had been told
he might carr the application To Dr.
Campbell i asked him about his
uife.s health. as | had not seen her,
and he told me that she rad some
neuralgia but nothing TO keep her
from getting Insurance.
The same week wrote the second
application. DR.. Everhardt had the
assistant general superintendent OF
the II. ". Elkhart. Of New
Orleans, who was here Strengthening
write he home Office for rates Oh d
joint policy for his wife and himself:
he never said how much. He wouldn't
take out a policy OF himself alone. /
had talked with him several times
about insurance on himself but he
said he didn't want anything except
a joint policy for his vile and him
self.
L carried the second policy to Hick-
ory to pr. A~bernethy, and Mr.. Eckhart
let it go in. I've heard that the new
assistant district superintendent Rob
erts WAS suspended and re-inStated,
but he wasn't in charge then and
didn't have anything to do with this.
The only thing I did wrong was
IN failing 10 see Mrs. EEerhart. /
didn't want to send it in but was told
to do So. l didn't canvass DIR. Ever
hart for the second application at all.
[ knew ii was against the rules Of
the com pany and didn't want TO take
it, but Eckhart uas in Hickory and
when / carried it he there said let II
80 III. He was over me and [ had to do
it. f.ckhart was III Hickory when
Mrs. Eckhart died and filled out the
death lain himself. She died on
Sunday and the second application was
sent III the same day. \ short while
afterwards tbs company sent an in
spectnr here and T was removed"
Mize said he went with the Metro
potitan Life september 18th last.
Or. II. L. A~bernethy. the denoted
physician at Hickory,
stated: "Mize brought me the second

becka Everhart late Saturday evening,
the day before her death. and he
told me- she was in good health. 7
learned next morning that she was
dead. The application filled out by
DR.. Everhart said she was in good
health. AS. Or Everhart was the
examiner for the metropolitan Life at
Newton and sen the application UP to
me with his statement through Mize
and the appii:2tion too that she was
in good health and vigorous [ passed
her through professional courtesy to
him, | being the amin here.
Il passed the first application on
the word of DIR. F.perhart the same as
tbs. Being the examiner he couldn't
sign up the applications for himself.
as the rules OF the company do not
permit that. | wrote the company on
the second that | had passed her
through courtesy. About two weeks
afterWard the inspector came through
and removed me Oh account of that.
From the application, filled out by
DIR. Eyerhart himself, aud the state
ments Of Mize, | believed Mrs. Eckhart
to be all right and in good health.
EVerhart sent me tE"o applications. one
for me to fill out. the other having
her family history, etc. stating that
she was in good health. that She was
vigorous. | filled out the blank one
from the one he sent me and sent it
in, it leaving here on Sunday. the day
she died"
