ABSTRACT
In conversation with an eminent life insurance officer, recently, the subjects of suicide and dueling came up, and several interesting facts were elicited. It seems that a party living in Kentucky, and holding a $10,000 policy had asked to have the “duel clause” stricken out. The company declined to do it, and he wrote back a complaining letter stating that the other companies, whose policies he held, waived that clause, and he desired to surrender his policy in a company that wished to hamper him in regard to the customs of the community in which he lived.
