MRS. IRA G. RAWN GETS LIFE INSURANCE

widow of Former President of Monon Route Wins in Sait to Collect His Insurance. : ‘T ' ;-4trr'fe'' v ■ Mrs. Ira Rawn, whose husband, while president of the Monon railroad, met sudden death in a suburb of Chicago, has been awarded a judgment of $14,000 against a life insurance company which contested payment on the allegation that Rawn had committed suicide. He carried a large amount of insurance and the other companies c6mpromised. It was claimed that Rawn was killed by burglars, but certain things in connection with his former relation with the Illinois Central railroad and an investigation which was to involve him, suggested that he had taken his owa life. The investigation, held following his death, exhonerated him, and this fact aided the widow in her suit to collect his life insurance.
