The court of Appeals therefore a‘firmed the judgment of the lower court by giving judg- ment for the respondent, thus virtually @stab- hshing the principle thata Itfe insurance pol- icy is not of necessity invalidated by the suicide of the insured person: or, im other words, that though a mam should be suspected of having committed suicide, his widow and children are not therefore to be deprived of the amount of his life insurancef whether he was Christian or heathen.—N, ¥.
