that they had intended to be mar
ried, but had been forced to put off
the ceremony until July.
After being taken to the police sta
ton and put under bond. both OF
the rarties left town.

DAYS DOING At
STATE CAPITAL
HUDSON's WITHDRAWAL FROM
RACE DIscUsSED-oTHER
NEWS FROM ATLANTA.

Atlanta, June THE unusual
fraaKness of Thomas G. HUI lson 8
statement of withdrawal from the
gubernatorial race is rousing specu-
latlon here this morning on whether
or not he will be equally frank in
announcing whom he intends TO sup
port for that office.
The general expectation in Atlanta
seems to be that Mr.. Hudson will
support John NJ. Slaton, as the two
gentlemen had a number of ocnfer-
ences before either entered the nela,
and at one time it is understood Mr..
PhTon practically promised, before
he himself decided to run, that he
wouE give Mr. Slaton his support.
ActPrdlng to politicians here, the
retirement of Mr.. Hudson practically
leaves the field open to Mr.. Slaton,
for it is scarcely believed that the
Hon. Joe Hill Hall of Macon, himself
strong Joe Brown adherent, will
make much Roadway against the can
dldate who is SO closely identified
with the Joe Brown element as Mr..
Slaton has always been.
At the same time the withdrawal
OF Mr.. Hudson affords free opportun-
lty to the many followers of the Hoke
Smith faction to follow their per-
sonal inclination in voting for Mr..
Slaton.
That the retirement of Mr.. Hudson
Will help materially in breaking
down old factional line disputes in
Georgia is generally believed here.

McCUE HEIRS LOSE
INSURANCE FIGHT
Highest Court Against Paying
Policy on Man Hanged
for Murder.

The fight Of the heirs OF J. Samuel
McCue, once mayor OF Charlottesville,
Va, who was hanged In February. 1906.
for the murder OF his wife, to collect
$4,000 on q life insurance policy which
he held in the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company was lost yesterday by
q decision OF the United States Supreme
Court The case was reversed and re-
manded.
Soon after MeCue was hanged. his son.
J. william McCue, on behalf OF himself
and the rest OF the children. presented a
policy, which had been taken out on
their father, to the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company for payment
The insurance company refused payment
and the McCue family brought the mat
ter TO court
The contention OF the insurance COM
pany that II is not Obliged to pay
claim OF this=aharaeter was upheld by
the United StateS Circuit Court for the
Western district OF Virginia. This
Judgment was reversed by the Circuit
Court Of Appeals, but the order was
stayed pending an appeal 70 the Supreme
Court of the United States.

he had died after an illness OF eighteen
minutes duration, and not from any dis
ease, but from suffocation by hanging
The case was taken to the courts, finally
being carried to the United States Su-
preme Court.
The insurance company contended that
there could not be a recovery on the
policy in a case In which the holder had
been hanged for capital crime. The
court held, however. that the insurance
policy was a Wisconsin contract. the laws
OF which allowed recovery. The COM
pany argued that the policy was not
Wisconsin contract but a Virginia con-
tract, that the laws OF Virginia prohibit
recovery in case OF this kind. and
that, regardless of the State where the
contract OF insurance Is made, the gen.
eral commercial law Is applied In the
courts OF the United States. and that
under this law It is against the public
policy to allow recovery to be made in
cases of this character.
