MURDERS

IF

-Former Coroner Says

newspapers are no longer allowed to report inquest evidence in suicide cases, as the Home Secretary's com- mittee of inquiry into the powers of coroners recommends, murder will be made several degrees safer in Britain.

This opinion was expressed by Mr. R. H. Oswald, who was a London coroner for more than a quarter of a century. He retired in 1930,

"Whatever the committee's findings," he said, "I am con- vinced that there are cases where evidence at inquests on people believed to have committed suicide should not be suppressed.

POLICY REVISION

If it is found at the inquest that he took his life "while of unsound mind," while the companies are not bound by that verdict, in most cases they will pay.

If the committee's suggestion la adopted, the great insurance companies will consider revising the terms of all future fe pollcies.

"We should have no guidance whatever in deciding the merits of a case," said one high Insurance official in London recently.

"In the past we have had the advantage of knowing officially whether the person was of right mind or insane at the time of sui- cide.

If we were to lose that guld- ance, we should have to consi: der revising the terms and altering the clauses of life and even endowment policies."
