It appsars tha.t. two years ago he was on the brink, of ruin. His wife, a young and beautiful woman of 24, found a way out. of the difficulty. She left a purposely over-heated room one night, and walked up and down a stone floored passage barefooted and scantily'cl'ad till she caught a serious chill, which she aggravated by a series of reckless acts. Innammaition of the lungs set in; she died, and her husband obtained the large sum for which her life was insured. This enabled him to pull through the crisis' successfulliy, and within a very short time he was a rich man again. He married a second time,- -within, two months, of his first wife's, death. Now a servant in his employ a* the time has informed' the police of the facts of the case, stating that' she overheard the conversation in which the-heroic'witVtold her; husband of;her intention to die for his sake. The insurance company contends that it was a case of sukside, and demands, the return of the money from thp husband; who may also have to answer to the charge of having been an accessory to the crime:— "Daily Express." . _
