Cause of Death an Issue.

Lafayette, Dee. I.—Whether Martin A. Quinn, a lawyer, who met a tragic death oji the Lake Erie & Western railroad tracks at Kokomo last June, committed suicide or was the victim of an accident, will be the issue in the trial of a suit brought by Mrs. Emma Quinn, his widow, in the superior court here to recover $21,500 from three accident insurance companies in which her husband carried policies. The companies refused to pay on the ground that the death was not accidental. The Howard county coroner first held death accidental, then declared it a case of suicide, but later changed the verdict again to accidental death.
