A strong fight is being made by the Con‘necticut Mutual Insurance Company to reaist the payment of $15,000 tothe widow
ot the late i ouis McWhirter, who met death
more. than a yeat ago in such a manuer that
éuicide and murder have ever since been
spoken of in the same breath whenever the
ease is mentioned. The Insurance company’s
attorney, Joseph C. Campbell, appeared in
Igdge McKenna’s court yesterday morning
. and asked permission to amend their answer
to the complaint of Mrs. McWhirter, who

the policy the holder of it forfeits his. contract. Attorney Campbell said yesterday
that he hed abundant evidence to prove that
McWhirter committed suicide. and when
the case is called. next Tuesday in the
United States Circuit Court he would have
his witnesses on hand to prove that to be:

through the ordeal of a trial last summer
but escaped conviction by one of the jury
men objecting te. verdict of guilt. A new
trial was ordered and the accused man is
now enjoying his liberty under $75,000
bail. Outside of the suicide theory the ‘in* surance sompany claim that McWhirter concealed the fact from them that threats had
been made against his life when applying
for his policy, and that also voids the agreement between themand MpWhirter's estate.

‘Tt is not inconsistent with my,,theory

the Warden. ‘‘There is*.no doubt that

Lockport, N. Y.; says:
“Over thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my father describe the wonderful curative effects of Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
~Grippe, which assumed the*form -of a
catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accompanied: by an aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some of these medicines paptially
* alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded mejany relief from
that spasmodic action of thé lungs srhigh
would seize me the-moment I attempted
to liedown at night. After ten or twelve.

_ spoonful of this preparation in g little
water, and was able to lie down without
coughing. In a few moments, I fell
asleep, and awoke in the morning
greatly refreshed and feeling much
better. I took a teaspoonful of the Pectoral every night for a week, then gradually decreased the dose, and in two
z weeks my cough wag cured.”’ _
