WIDOW'S CLAIM IS CONTESTED Trainmen Oppose Paying Benefits Because Of Mixup In Names Testimony in 811 equity suit was taken at a session of the county court before Judge Thomas J.

Baldrige. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen are contesting the claims of Mrs. Nannie McKnight, widow of Harry McKnight, a brakeman who was killed on Oct. 11 1920, who carried a beneficiary certificate in the sum of $1,200 in favor of his wife. There seems to be a mixup of names in the case.

McKnight's wife's first name is Nannie. On Oct. 2, 1916 MeKnight made an application in the grand lodge of the B. R. T.

for a beneficiary certificate. The beneficiary named in the application was Nannie McKnight and it was stated in the application that sho, was his wife. The application was Feb. 7. 1910 acted favorably upon and McKnight was placed in Class which entitled the beneficiary to the sum of $1,200 in the event of his death.

It seems however that when the certificate was made out by the grand lodge, the first name of the beneficiary was made Minnie McKnight instead of Nannie. McKnight was killed on Oct. 31, 1920 at Berwindale. An examination of the application disclosed that the original entry in the application was Nannie McKnight, but it is likewise evident that a crude effort had been made to change the name of the beneficiary from Nannie to Minnie, SO that it really read "Minnie." The officers then made some investigation with the result that it was discovered the McKnight's wife's name Nannie, but he was not liv-4 was ing with her. Counsel stated that an application had been made for divorce.

But it was also learned that McKnight had a common law wife whose given name was Minnie. As there Were fears that some meddling had been done, with the application, a further investigation followed. A suit in equity was then entered! the lawful wife. The alleged mon law wife has made no claim, hence money could be paid to her, even if she had, done the application does not disclose as having any connection with the matter. However, the lawful wife claims the money.

The court will be asked to ascertain to whom if anybody, the mo ey should be paid. Mrs. Nannie McKnight is represented by Attorneys J. Banks Kurtz and R. A.
