WAR RISK

estate of the insured. descending to
the soldiers heirs and not to the
heirs of the beneficiary no matter
whether a will may have been exc
cuted by that beneficiary to the con-
trary.
This is the substance of the deci-
sion handed down by Federal Judge
Whitmer in the case Of Cassarello vs..
United States recently tried in the
District Court of the United States,
Scranton. Pennsylvania.
Lawrence Siegle while in service
in the United States Army. applied
for $4,000 insurance designating as
beneficiary "stepbrother Patsy Gill
cite"
The insured died October 90,
1918. A question as to the identity
of the beneficiary arose, he having
been known as Patsy Giletti. Patrick
Gillette, Patrick Chilant and other
variations of the original Italian
lame
Before 1t had been established that
the designated beneficiary was a full
brother of the insured soldier, the
beneficiary died. He left a will
naming SAVING Cassarello as axe
cutor OF his estate, empowered to
collect the War Risk Insurance in
stallments which had accrued, as
well as those which should become
due and to transmit these future in
stallments to the beneficiary's wife
and daughter.
To effect this the executor brought
action against the United States.
AS to the installments which had
accrued prior to the beneiciary's
death and remaining unpaid at that
time. there was no dispute. They
passed according to the beneficiary's
will as they were already due the
beDeficiary's estate. The contest had
to do with the installments not yet
payable when the beneficiary died
and it was claimed by the executor
That these also was a part of the
beneficiary's estate.
h Court, however, decided, and
thereby upheld an opinion of the
General Counsel Of the Bureau Of
War Risk Insurance. that a benefici-
airy under the War Risk Act is en-
titled to insurance installments only
so long as he lives ana TAT there
after the insurance installments
must be distributed to those persons
surviving the soldier who would be
entitled to the soldiers estate under
the laws Of %intestacy of the Soldiers
State of residence.
