Widow Cannot Sue Over Life Insurance Claim
The Supreme Court ruled that Emily B Wright cannot sue Vermont Life Insurance Co for her late husband Augustus B Wright's policy. The suit should have been brought by the estate administrator, not by the wife, and the court erred by not ruling on this issue in favor of the defendant. The jury had found for the plaintiff despite the defendant's objections.
