ITS C0MP0SURE
Shall a High Court Judge
Be Insured?
READ AND BE SATISFIED

In the United States Supreme Court
yesterday, in the argument on the case
of the Northwestern Life Insurance Com
pany, of Milwaukee, against the heirs of
the estate of James L. McCue, former
mayor of Charlottesville, Va, involving
the payment of $4,000 Of life insurance,
the question arose as to the eligibility of
three Of the justices to sit in the hearing.
The Northwestern is a mutual company.
The three justices hold policies in the
company and share in its profits. Chief
Justice White was about to pass on the
question, appreciating the embarrassment
felt by the three justices, and mentioning
that If they felt disqualified to sit in the
case there would be but five judges to
consider the matter. in the absence of
Justice Day, when he was consulted by
Justice McKenna. After brief talk the
Chief Justice announced that the matter
had been adjusted and that the entire
court would sit in the case.
Hughes in the List.
The three justices who are policy
holders in the Northwestern are said to
be Justices Hughes, Lurton, and Lamar.
On one previous occasion practically the
same question arose, and 1t was decided
that the mere fact that a member of the
court was a policyholder in n mutual
company was not sufficient to affect his
eligibility to sit in the hearing. In one
case a few years ago the late Justice
Peckham refused to sit with the court
in case on the ground that he was a
director in an insuranc company that
was a party to the litigation.
The case that is being argued involves
question most interesting to all insur-
ance companies, namely. the liability OF
the insurance company on a policy on the
life of one who is afterward legally put
to death for crime. Former Mayor Nc
Cue was convicted of the murder of his
wife and was hanged. The insurance
policies were payable to his estate and
