Widow Loses Insurance Suit In Bigamy Ruling
CHICAGO November 9 AP widow Corinne Hanna failed to secure $8000 unpaid life insurance for Major Hanna. A Federal court jury ruled the officer, who died in battle on the last day of World War I, was a bigamist. Insurance funds go to Thomas Hanna of Ruthven Iowa, father of the major, named as beneficiary after Hanna’s marriage to Corinne while still married to Haltie Schroeder of San Antonio. The jury halted payments to Mrs Hanna after she had received $2000. Hanna’s counsel seeks retrial and a verdict set aside due to judge’s instruction about Schroeder’s involvement.
