Widow Receives Half of Insurance Policy in Suit
In Pierre South Dakota the supreme court reversed a lower court ruling in the case of Alice Dustin versus Inter State Business Men's Insurance Company. The Interstate policy of five thousand dollars, issued July 1913, paid two thousand five hundred after Dr Dustin's death in an auto crash on September 27. The holding clause required notice of other insurance and reduced the payout to a pro rata share. The suit seeking two thousand six hundred was decided in favor of the insured’s beneficiary in the lower court but reversed by the supreme court.
