The suit is the result of the death
Of &. F. Board, Of this city, who was
the president Of the two companies.
A few months before his death pol
lev was taken out on his life by the
Board Armstrong Company, for Sl5,-
600 and By the Truck Company Tor
$4,000. His death was the result
Of a fall from 100 foot water tower
at Wake Forrest, n. e., where ne had
gone to recover from a nervous
break: OWE. The insurance Company
refused payment on the ground that
he had committed suicide and also
because the two companies had no m
Surance interest in the life Of Mr..
Board, 'tespite the fact that they had
paid the premiums on his policy.
On the first trial in this city YER
d;ct was rendered in favor Of the two
plaintiffs and the insurance company

Kaufman became so great that he
was forced to admit that some of
the girls had suffered after a meal
in the hotel.
He said that he thought they
were suffering from ptomaine
poisoning. He said he thought it
had been caused by frozen
chicken. He gave out the names
of Sophia Miller and Olive Viii
liams as the ONLY women who
had to be treated at a hospital.
He did not give out the names
of Wilhelrnina SchaeHer, now at
the Presbyterian hospital, and
who may die. Nor did he give
out the names of Mile Mack and
Della Westcott, now in the Yves

are going to hold a meeting, and
