Haeffner the insurance on her three boys, would not permit the issuance of a policy to an Infant less than a year old, The last baby was only a few days old when the insurance pol- icles were taken out on the lives of the other three children, This was last September, at a time when, as Mrs, Haeffner said to-day, “we were hit by our hardest hard luck.” Earl, the twenty-two-months-old boy, who was one of the three in- sured, was abandoned during a rain- storm on Nov. 15 and died of pneu- monia in the New York Nursery and Children's Hospital on Dec. 10.
