“ACCIDENTAL DEATH”
INSURANCE ON MURDERER CLAIMED Chicago, January 24. Harry Diamond was executed in 1926 for tho murder of bls wife. His parents were reading an insurance policy and came upon a provision pledging a double Indemnity for accidental death, and they are now asking £5OOO. They claim that his death was accidental, as he did everything possible to avoid it He employed lawyers to keen him alive, and did not, until the last minute, anticipate death. Therefore the execution from the standpoint of the departed was an accident. Counsel for the insurance company insist that because Diamond confessed he thereby eliminated any claim for accidental death.
