Instructed verdict for Amarillo Furniture estate in insurance case
Judge James C. Wilson ordered an instructed verdict in favor of the bankrupt Amarillo Furniture Company estate on a law question over a $100,000 life policy against Lincoln National Life Insurance in federal court. Spencer H. Wright, former head of the company, died while an order was with the insurer to cancel and cash in the policy. The trustee lacked authority to cancel without the bankruptcy referee's permission, and Lincoln Life had already paid $200,000 to Mrs. Wright.
