company for at least $500, and when
adverse claimants reside within other
states not subject to the jurisdiction
of the court, then the court shall
have power to issue process to such
claimants.
Defines the Act.
Quoting the decision, 1T is plain
from the language of the statute
that congress did not intend to leave
insurance companies the election of
the forum for claimants to wage
their controversy. From such inter
probation great inconvenience and
hardship might result. For instance,
the insurance company might be
domici'cd in Florida and each of the
claimants residents of widely sepa-
rated states. The plaintiff might file
its interpleader in the federal court
of the district of its domiCile, thereby
compelling the defendants to take
their jurisdiction to d far removed
jurisdiction because the insurance
company had elected a forum most
convenient to it, ManifeStly such
contingency is Obviated by the plain
provisions of the law. As prereQui-
site to the exercise of jurisdiction
the statute says: 1T must appear
that such company has issued some
policy of insurance for at least $500,
and secondly. that two or more of
the adverse claimants are citizens o.
different states" and claims 10 be en-
titled to some insurance, and third
ly. that "such company deposits the
amount of such insurance with the
clerk of said court.
THE insurance company having
met the requirements thus far, it Is
equally plain that the statute invests
jurisdiction in the district court to
exercise the powers authorized IN the
residence of either of the bona tide
claimants.
Therefore an indispensable requi-
site to the courts issuing process
is, that the plaintiff deposit the
amount of such insurance with the
clerk of said court that is, the court
in which the interpleader is filed. We
have seen that the act requires the
bill of interpleader to be filed in the
district of the residence of one or
the other of the claimants. Does 1t
! imply that, to the insurance conP<nv
! is left the option in which of such
/ districts it will file its interpleader ?
In my opinion the venue of plain
tiff's suit is clearly indicated in the
proviso found in the last clause of the
statute, in the nature of an excep-
ton, viz:
"Provided, that in all cases where
beneficiary is named in policy
or where the same has been assigned
and written notice thereof shall have
been given to the insurance company
the bill of interpleader shall be FLED
! in the district where such (the)
beneficiary may reside"
THE record shows that Otto
! Joseph Dus had assigned the policy
to Winifred Henderson and notice
thereo fhad been given to the insur-
ance company. The proviso would
seem to recognize the residence OF
the beneficiary named in the policy
or his assignee designated to the
company as fixing the district OF
proper venue for plaintiffs s2it
When the word such" is substituted
for the definite article the before
the word Beneficiary the meaning
of the sentence is clear. 1nterpre

Jurisdiction Is Denied In
Henderson Insurance Case

Disclaiming jurisdiction ION the
ground that the plaintiff failed to
carry out the necessary qualifications
for the court to issue process, Judge
William B. Sheppard in the federal
court yesterday afternoon dismissed
the suit of the Penn Mutual Life In
surance Company VS.. Winifred Hem
dersOn, ct al.
The suit was brought into the fed
eraI court here on an interpleader
filed by the plaintiff, in a controversy
between Mrs. Winifred Henderson
as beneficiary under a policy valued
at $1,095.O0 held by Father Otto Dus,
deceased, and Bishop Edward P Al
len, of the diocese of Mobile, as ad-
ministrator of the estate of Father
DuS.
Jurisdiction is denied on the ground
that when the plaintiff filed its bill
of interpleader in the court for this
district, it failed to comply complete
ly with the act of congress governing
interpleaders, by not depOsitinE the
value of the policy subject of litiga-
ton.
Unusual circumstances surround
the entire proceeding, and the posses
sion Of the policy has been matter
of much controversy. In reciting the
steps which led up to the proceeding
in the federal court, the decision
handed down yesterday by Judge
Sheppard shows that evidence
brought before the court was that
Winifred Henderson had instituted
action against the insurance COMPANY
in the circuit court of Escambia coun-
ty. Florida. and that Bishop Allen
had instituted similar proceedings IN
the circuit court for jefferson cOun-
ty, Alabama.
In an effort to bring about a set
tlemen, the insurance company ten
dered the value Of the policy, and
prayed the federal court here to en-
join the parties to the other two suits
from further prosecution, to decide
who was the rightful owner of the
policy, and to relieve the company Of
further responsibility.
1t then appears from the evidence
that the insurance company filed sim
liar proceedings in the federal court
for the Northern District Of Ala
bana, at Birmingham, but that be
fore any action had been taken in the
Alabama district the Florida distTtS
court at Pensacola had issued re
straining orders in the two cases, and
brought the entire matter before
Judge Sheppard Actual deposit was
made in the Alabama court, but not
in the Florida court. Process had
already issued in the Florida court,
and as the bill of interpIeader was
filed here first priority of jurisdic-
ton was claimed, and the suit
brought for trial.
Objection was then made to the
jurisdiction of the court here on a
motion to dismiss, one ground being
that the insurance company had
made no deposit in the clerks office
as required by law, In view of the
conclusion reached, the decision elm
| mates notice of other grounds.
The section of the statute is theg
cited, to show under what conditions
an interpleader can be filed, anC
states that obviously it was intended
I to permit one or more bona fidt
! claimants against such company, re.
! siding within jurisdiction of tn,
court, and holding a policy with thu

ting the act as a whole it is obvious
that the word the was used by tne
lawmakers .. as the equivalent of
'sudSl.' This meaning is consistent
with, and more in harmony with the
apparent purpose of the act.
THE plaintiff failed to .compi : .
the jurisdiction of this court by not
making the required deposit, the sine
qua non for power in this court to
issue process. The court is without
jurisdiction. The restraining orders
will be Dissolved and the bill dis
