Tliero Is considerable discussion in local
insurance circles over a law suit which
Is about to be Instituted by the heirs of tho
late Miss Ella Connor for the recovery of
$1,00,0 on a life Insurance polloy Issued on
the life of the deceased. It Is said that
if tho case goes to trial it will be an in
terestlng one.
The policy was Issued by tho Prudential
Life Insurance Company and when the
return of death was made tho cause was
stated as pneumonia. For some reason
the company was not satisfied with the
return and sent an Inspector to this town.
Tho result of his investigation was such
that the company declined to pay tho
amount of the policy, claiming that the
death was due to heart disease. It is said
that the company will attempt to show
that Miss Connor was a victim of the dis
ease when she was matron of tho county
Jail and that n physician who attended her
nt that time determined tint point. It Is
also alleged that a town physician also de
tected heart disease Ju tho patient and
treated her for it.
The case will no doubt be of considerable
interest, as it will bring to the witness
stand several medical experts to proclaim
what, in their opinion, aro symptoms of
heart disease as distinguished from pneu
monia. Up to the present time four doc
tors are interested in the case.
