Amelia Weber, Respondent v. the Supreme Tent of the Knights of the MacCabees of the World, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment awarding the beneficiary $2,000, holding that the mutual benefit society could not, by a post‑policy amendment extending the suicide exclusion period from one to five years, void the insurance contract for unintentional self‑destruction, because such amendment was unreasonable and interfered with a vested right.
