RICHMOND Va. May 26.-Wanted
in Maryland for escaping from the
house of correction. Jailed in Virginia
for alleged bootlegging, adjudged in
sane and sent to hospital and dying
three days later, lapsed insurance
policy held valid by a jury, and an
appeal allowed by the supreme court.
Such is the case that is now before
the court of appeals for considera-
tiOn and decision. Charles ID. Phil
lips was living in Florida when he
took out policy in the Pacific Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company. of Cali
fornia for $4,000. He returned to
Virginia, and soon thereafter he was
arrested for the Maryland authorities
for having escaped from the house OF
correction. The Governor of Virginia
declined to surrender him until he
had served a term for bootlegging in
Virginia
Phillips was held in jail in Acco-
mac in the latter part of 1920 or
early 1921, and while there he lost
his mind, being adjudged insane
March 10 of that year and sent to
Williamsburg, dying March 13. He
had taken out Il policy on his life,
paid the first quarterly premium and
the company claimed that the second
payment should have been made in
January. 1921. The company sent the
usual notices. but Phillips was in
jail and the notices are said never
to have been received by him or the
beneficiaries under the policy. The
court named an administrator and he
brought suit to recover. The jury
gave him $l.940.96.
The company holds that the policy
had lapsed. that it was void because
no payments were made, and it is
from the verdict of the circuit court
for Accomac that relief is sought by
the company.
