Riphts Of Beneficiaries.

Justice W. II. Field of the Louisville

was entitled 10 the $1,000 duo on the
life OF tho late Henry Conrad. a former
well-knoyvn Louisville business man.
from whom Mrs, Conrad WAS divorced
in 1925. Conrad died last yoal: IN
agreed Judgment WAS signed In tho dl-
vorcc proceedings giving The woman
$1,000 i'm lieu Of all marriage claims. Tno
insurance policy was en-Ecar paid-np
contract. made payable 10 tho wife. Mrs:
Eva Conrad. The last payment required
before the divorce was granted. Tho
basis Of the judgment is that Conrad
had no right or authority under the pro-
visions OF the policy or the law TO change
said tha; when the policy was Issued
in 1894 Eva Conrad nad in insurablc In
tercst In tho life of Henry Conrad. and
that her interest was not disturbed bN
the cessation OF that interest through
the serevance Of the marital relation, IT
was also held that the payment to Mrs.
Conrad of the $1,000 in The divorce pro-
ccedines had nothing TO do with The m
