SAYS IT WAS IN SELF DEFENSE (From a Staff Corripondent.) PES MOINES. Feb. 21. ( Special.) A question cf peculiar nature, and one which the Iowa courts have nut been called on to decide, will soon be raised la connec tion with a murder case. Harry Hortraan was sentenced from Cherokee county to hang and the date was fixed for March 12.

In the meantime his relatives Insist on paying the assessments on a policy of ac cident Insurance taken out by Hortman be fore h's crime.

An agent of the accident insurance com pany called on state officers today to find cut the status cf such a policy. It was discovered that in a recent decision the Iowa supreme court had held thst where an Insurance company continues to receive payments on a policy after the company Is an are that the policy Is Invalid or was obtained by fraud and misrepresentation or in some other way had become void, then the company Is liable. It Is claimed that if the company continues to receive pay ments on the accident policy up to the time Hortman is hanged for his crime, if he Is hanged, sn effort will be made to col lect the insurance. Hortman is at An amosa penitentiary and Is tn fact in such poor health that it Is doubtful if he will live until he shall be hanged. Money tor the Machinists.
