WINS INSURANCE FIGHT.

Jackson, Miss, March 20.-The jury
in the case of Mrs. Sue Stevens Brame
VS.. New York Life Insurance Company
and the Equitable Assurance Society
this morning returned verdict award
ing plaintiff $S,435.19, of which $3,-

and $4,63S.75 against the Equitable.
The Judgment rendered is for poll
cies carried on the life of plaintiff S
husband, L. Brame, Jr., a prominent
young member of the Jackson bar,
who mysteriously disappeared in the
city of Vicksburg on August 7th, 1907,
and has not been seen since. A de-
cree was issued in the chancery court
several weeks ago, in conformity with
the Mississippi statute, declaring that
L. Brame, Jr., is legally dead, having
been missing for more than seven
years.
The trial occupied nearly five days
of the circuit court session, and Judge
Potter this morning gave the jury a
peremptory instruction to find for the
plaintiff for the full amounts set forth
in the policies. The matter of interest
was left to the jury to determine, and
the verdict rendered carries six pei
cent interest on the principal Of each
policy from Date of Brame's disap
pearance, and also interest on the
premiums that have been paid by the
family during the past seven years.
1t is understood that the life in
surance companies will carry the case
to the supreme court for final deci
sion.
