An Insurance
Man's *S* tory
[Original.]
"Yea," said tlx; npwi.il ageat of the lift
Insurance company after handing; me s
check In favor of a client < f inine. tb<
beueticlary of u policy, "we have soui<
singular cases. Que 1 particularly re
member was that of a Mr. and Mrs
Watenuan. .Mrs. Waterman held a poll
cy ou tiia life nf her husband for (L'.tXX
lu ihe company for which 1 was then
adjuster. Waterman died very sud
deuly, aud the physician wuo was call
ed lu-be arrived after tli^iatient bad
died- gave a certltlcate of death from
heart disease, lie told me that the
man had bo?n under his care for some
time for valvular disease of the heart,
and there could be no douUt as to the
cause of deuth. He had expressed n
wish to be burled in his native village
lu the country, far from a railroad,
and the body had beeu taken there be
fore the claim was presented to our
company. 1 didn't like to pay in such
a case, bat Charley Dyke, our agent
who issued the policy, said It would
hurt his business If I didn't, so I
handed over (2,0X1 and took Hie cus
tomary receipt
"Somo six months after ttie settle
ment of this case I was in the otilce of
a physician who was an examiner for
another company. He was examining
an applicant for Insurance, and when
be had finished and the man went out
the doctor said to me:
'? 'I shall decline that r!.*k. The m. n
has valvular disease of the heart.'
" 'Better give me his name,' I said.
'He may apply to our company."
" 'Enderberry.' he said.
"I made a note of the name and re
ported It at the office. But the man
never applied to us? that Is, so far as
I ever knew.
"It was a year later, as near as I
can remember, that Dyke came to ine
and said be was troubled, als>ut the
Waterman case. A few days before
be bad met a man on the street in a
distant city who resembled Waterman
so strikingly that be (the agent) had
gone up to him and addressed him as
such. The man looked puzzled, then
declared that bis name was not Wa
terman. On being asked who be was
be said he was John Enderberry.
"Of course I was interested. Never
theless I couldn't exactly make out a
case between Waterman and Ender
berry. In the first place. Dyke was not
certain of the Identity between the man
he had met and Waterman; in the sec
ond place, 1 couldn't see how a man
who was suffering from valvular dis
ease of the heart could have secured a
policy In our company. There was
nothing for me to gain by Investigating
the matter, so 1 let It drop, assuring
Dyke that l^e must have been mis
taken.
"Soon after this I left the company I
had been with for so long and took a
position with another. One day 1 was
directed to go and adjust a loss of $2,
500 on a man of tlie name of r.rlck
man, who was supposed to have died
of heart disease. 1 was told that the
widow had beeu so shocked at weeing
her husband drop dead before her that
she was confined to her room ancj. kept
under the Inlluence of sedatives. 1
suppose It was an uncertainty 1 con
stantly felt regarding the Waterman
claim that induced me to take a look
at the deceased. When 1 did so 1 was
astonished. The glimpse I hud got in
the doctor's otilce of the man culled
Enderberry was sufficient to cause me
to remember him. It seemed to me
that the ashen face before me was the
face of this man.
"At any rate 1 determined to pro!>e
the matter. I told the doctor that I
fancied the man wag not dead, hut la
declared that he was. 1 Insisted on an.
autopsy. to which the widow consent
ed. This staggered me, nnd 1 conclud
ed to forego the examination. Instead
I wired Dyke to come down. When lie
came he declared the dead man was
Waterman, alias Enderborry, alias
Brickuian. I told the doctor to go on
with the autopsy, which he did.
"I stood by during the operation and
expected at the first Incision to see the
man start up or at least blood to flow.
Neither occurred. The doctor told me
that he had discovered a very singular
malformation of the heart, such as he
had never seen before, but had read of
In medical books, fie described It to
me, using medical nomenclature, but 1
could neither understand It nor remem
ber the terms.
"There remained one more precau
tion. That was for Dyke to see the
woman. He had known Mrs. Water
man and could Identify her In case she
was getting life Insurance through dif
ferent husbands. He went upstairs to
her room unannounced, opened the
door, and there sat the Widow Water
man.
"The explanation? It was this: Wa
terman? Trumball was his real name
had been getting life insurance policies
under different names for compara
tively small amounts for a long while.
The heart formation from which he
suffered would occasionally throw him
Into a condition which could not be
easily distinguished from death and in
which he remained long enough to be
pronounced dead. After one of these
attacks It occurred to him to take out
life Insurance in amounts so small
that they would be paid without spe
cial investigation. At times the man
would pass the examination without
his heart trouble being detectoil; at
other times it would be apparent and
the risk declined.
"However, he was now' dead and no
mistake. I sent receipts to bis wife by
Dyke for her to sign, which she did
without making any claim, and I never
said anything about the matter except
to the manager of the company last in
terested."
