The question as to whether a cor
poration has an insurable interest in
the life Of one of it's officers. a subject
of interest to many Virginia corpora
tions who have taken out policies on
the lives of their officials, will be de-
cided by the State supreme court of ap-
peals. Yesterday they granted a writ
of error and supersedeas in the appeals
of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany. from the circuit court OF Alex
andria in the suit of the Board Motor
Truck Company and Board. Armstrong
& Co
The two latter companies held pol-
icies amounting to $25,00O on the life
Of Benjamin F. Board, formerly Of
Washington. president of the two COM
panies. whose plants are located in
this city. In both instances the bene-
fciary corporations paid the initial pre-
MUM. and contracted to settle other
premiums as they fell due.
Board was killed March is, 1912, by a
fall from a windmill tower at Wake
Forrest, n. c., under circumstances that
led the insurance company to suspect
suicide. The insurance company refused
to pay the amount of the policies, and
In the circuit court here the juries
awarded the two local companies the
full amount Of the policies with in
terest.
The supreme court refused a writ of
error in the case of the life insurance
company against Mrs. Jessie p Board,
widow Of B. F. Board, holding that the
widow had an entirely legal insurable
interest in the life Of her husband, even
though he may have been led to suicide

Time and longitude wireless tests,
under the direction of four French
military officers are blocked by bad
weather conditions. Observations and
messages to Paris scheduled for last

PINS FAITH TO RABBIT FOOT.
Negro, Facing Gallows, Credits Grave
yard Talisman.

/ Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 2O.-Prob-
ably the only man who ever has
faced a death sentence six times on
the charge of murder will be tried
again by the court of Admission IN
this state late this month or early
in November. The prisoner is Erwin
Pope, colored, who is charged with
killing ]. B. McClurkin, a prominent
planter of Oxford, near Admission in
April, 1909.
Pope will face a death sentence
with the assertion of his innocence
after having been sentenced to death
five times. The prisoner has never
shown the slightest trace of fear. He
says he carried in his pocket during
all the trials the left hind foot OF
a rabbit killed in graveyard on
a. moonlight night" and this has
saved his life five times.
The murder of McClurkin was
brutal. He heard a noise near his
barn and when he rode toward the
scene was knocked from his horse
with heavy cudgel. His head was
beat to a pulp with a rock. Pope
and another negro, John Body, were
arrested soon after the murder. Pope
was we'll to do, being a successful
farmer. He always paid his debts
and had a good reputation, but the
evidence was against him, strength
ened by the allegations of Body VINO
turned witness against him.
Pope was tried and convicted again
in the spring of 1911, but the case
was reversed and remanded on ac-
count of the admission of testimony
which tended to exculpate John Body,
who was believed by many to nave
been a party to the crime. Pope was
tried for the fourth time and sentenc-
ed to be hanged. The Supreme Court
reversed the case in June on account
Of a ruling by Judge Coleman declln-
ing to admit the testimony of Body
which was said to have been con-
Trajectory to the evidence on which
the oft condemned man was convict
ed. His fifth trial resulted similarly,
hu+ another new trial was granted.
The gallows on which Pope was to
hang was an eyesore for several
months, until the jail fence was rails
ed to hide it from view.
Pope insists that he is innocent
and declares he will never be exc
cuted so long as he carries in his
pocket his rabbits foot.

ONE KILLED IN A. C.. L. WRECK.
Engine and Express Car Jumps Track
at Greenpond.

Charleston, October 20.-James
Ramsey, colored fireman of Atlantic
Coast Line train, No. Sc, north-bound
from Savannah and due at the Union
Station at 1885 last night, was kill
ed, and Engineer B. H. Martin, slight
ly bruised when the engine, express
car and two forward coaches jumped
the track a short distance south of
Green Pond. The accident occurred
at GA o'clock and at midnight a
hastily made up wrecking train OF
five cars, in charge of Superintend-
ent J. C. Murchison, left the Union
Station for the scene of the wreck.
From the meagre details to be OBJ
tanned up to late hour last night
it is believed that none of the pass
engers were injured.
The colored fireman, it is under
stood, was found at the side OF the
track with a broken neck. How he
came to his death was not definitely
decided, but it was said that he be-
came excited and jumped from the
cab when the engine left the rails.
The locomotive was overturned, but
aside from leaving the track it was
understood that none Of the cars at
tached to the train were injured.
Cause Not Learned.
No. Sc over the Atlantic Coast
Line is the express train which leaves
Savannah at 6.25. The train, IN
charge of Engineer Martin, was pro-
ceeding at a fair rate of speed when
the accident occurred. 1t could not
be determined last night what the
exact cause of the wreck was.

COUPLE REFUSED NEW TRIAL.
Convicted Woman Puts Double Muir
der on Husband, IT'S Said.

Edgetield Oct. 19.-Judge Wilson
refused the motion for new trial in
the case of the State against Jim
Henry Norman and his wife, Carrie,
who were tried for the murder OF
Jim Middleton and Adeline Murray
last April, and convicted of man
slaughter, the former being senten-
ced to the chain gang for ten years
and the latter to five years in the
State Penitentiary. Since their con-
viction the woman, it is stated, has
made a clean breast of the affair, de-
claring that her husband committed
the deed; that on the night of the
killing he told her his purpose, and
said that if she said anything about
it he would kill her; that he went
from the house to the yard, procured
an axe and Drained both of the par
ties, striking them several blows, al
ter which he returned to bed; that
during the time he was getting in his
bloody work she remained in bed,
covering her head, and did not see
him deal the blows; that her husband
thought the victims had money hid
den away, and robbery was the mo-
tive for the deed.
1t was shown at the trial that Mid
dleton usually carried money in a
bag, and the morning after the hon.
icide it was found empty. The wo-
man stoutly denies that she had any
hand in the killing, and says that she
had no knowledge of +he same until
her husband apprised her of his pur-
pose.
The case is an unusual one, and
it is, Of course, not known what
view Judge Wilson may take of the
matter.
