A Chicago message states: Harry Diamond was executed in 1926 for idle murder of his wife. His parents on reading the insurance policy, came upon a provision pledging double indemnity for accidental death, and they are now seeking £SOOO. They claim his death was accidental, as he did eve'rthing possible to avoid it. He employed lawyers to keep him alive and did not until the last minute anticipate death. Therefore his execution from the. standpoint of the departed was an accident.
■Counsel for the* Insurance Company insits that because Diamond confessed he thereby eliminated any claim for accidental death.
