Supreme Court of Pennsylvania October 5, 1908, Appeal, No. 359 (Smith v. Metropolitan Life Insurance)

Opinion by

Mr. Chief Justice Mitchell,

Gordon took out five separate policies of insurance on his own life. No beneficiary or person to whom the insurance should be paid on the death of the insured was named in any of the policies, but in the applications for three of them, in answer to the printed question as to whom the money should be payable to, the name of his wife was written.
