In the game court room at David City where four years ago she was found guiltyi of murdering her husband and sentenced to life imprisonment, Mrs. Lena M. Li Hie was given a judgment for $2,500 on a life insurance policy taken outby her murdered husband. The policy wag in the fraternal order of Ben Hur, and with Interest amounted to $3,050. A year ago Mrs.

Lillie was pardoned by Governor Mickey and is now employed in a Lincoln depart- ment store. A salt against thato $3,500 is now pending. It la practically identical with that In which judgment was rendered against the Tribe of Ben Hur and Inasmuch as this decision establishes a precedent other suits against companies in which policies were held are ex pected to follow. The theory of the prosecution when Mrs. Lillie was tried was that the killing was chiefly to secure the insurance on the life of Harvey Lil lie, placed all the way from $9,000 $20,000.
