COURT D|SM|SSES
INSURANCE CASE
Higher Court Ruling Is That
Policy Must Be Delivered
to Insured.

Action brought by Ellen NJ.
Rhodes against the New York Life
Insurance CO. 10 collect 81, 600 al
legged to be due on an instance policy
issued TO John ]. Rhodes. her hus-
band, was dismissed at the costs of
the plaintiff by Judge Funk in the cir
cult court Monday morning when the
case came up for trial. 1t was shown
by two supreme court decisions that
under the circumstances of the case
no recovery could be made. A second
suit was Immediately filed on the
grounds of failure TO comply with the
terms OF an alleged compromise be-
tween he plaintiff and the insurance
company.
According 10 the agreed facts in
the case. John j. Rhodes made APP
phcation 10 the insurance company
for policy on which the first pre-
MUM was never paid. The applica-
ton provided that the insurance ap-
piled for was not effective unless the
policy was delivered to and received
by the insured in his lifetime and
while he was in good health 1t was
said that the policy in question was
never delivered TO Rhodes but was
left by the insurance compaay's agent
with a neighbOr of Rhodes at about
the same time that he died
When it was shown that. under
these circumstances, recovery could
not be made. the plaintiff sought 10
file a second cause for action on a
separate theory but the court held
that the case should be dismissed y
separate action was therefore brought
on the grounds that a compromise
had been entered into between the
plaintiff and insurance company
whereby the latter had agreed to pay
S342 on the $1,000 policy and had
later refused TO make the payment.
The plaintiff in the case is repre-
sented by Weidler, Parker and Pet
tengill and the defendant by Clifford
DuComb, and w. y. Marshall, of Chi
cagO.
