Widow Awarded
Full Damages

After being out for a couple OF
hours the jury in the case of Neasham
versus the New York Life Insurance
company last evening returned a ver-
dict for S1O,69O.3O the full amount
sued for. The case had been on trial
in the Federal court since Wednes-
day, Judge Van Fleet Of San Fran
cisco presiding.
The verdict is a popular one, as it
is generally believed, that Mrs. Meas
ham was entitled to the insurance
which her husband left. TIE COM
pany fought payment on the alleged
ground that the husband tof the
plaintiff committed suicide, but this
was disputed by the widow and
many others, who claim that Meas
ham was murdered.
Mrs. Neasham's interests in court
were looked after by Thomas kep-
rer of Reno and Prince Hawkins rep
resented the company.
