The judge awarded Mrs. Lottie Galloway, widow of a Laneville, Texas, physician, double indemnity insurance amounting to $2.1,450 for the death of her husband, who was slain by Morgom Compton. Evidence was introduced to show that I)r. Galloway had made "improper advances" to Mrs. Compton, who was his patient. The insurance company contended that Compton had warned Dr. Galloway before the fatal shooting and therefore the physician's death was not entitled to double indemnity.
