PROBLEM OF LIFE INSURANCE
"Do"the love 1 affairs of a married man' •constitute a hazard invalidating his life insuranceP" is a question under consideration by tho Los Angeles Courts; The caso has arisen from tlw refusal of an insurance company to pay £1000 to the widow of Mr. J. D. Yanbaaleu, who was shot and killed by an unmarried woman whose lover he was. Tho jury, accepting the plea .of tho uuwritteu law, acquitted the woman of murder. ' The view, taken by the insurance company, is that the cultivation of affinities by a married man is a dangerous undertaking. Mr. Vanbaalen, when ho applied for tho £1000 insurance policy, stated that ho was not engaged in any hazardous occupation, whereas his violent death proves, in the opinion of the company, that he was prosecuting a love suit, involving his life in great peril.
