--
Little Rock, Oct. 15.—The at
tachment suit filed by the various
insurance companies against the
German National bank to prevent
1 the money deposited in that in
stitution by Mrs. R. G. Lightle
from being paid out were dismiss
ed yesterday in the Pulaski cir
cuit court and the federal court.
The suit of the New York Life
Insurance Company was in the
federal court, and those of
the Metropolitan and Fidelity
Mutual companies were in the
circuit court. The suits are dis
missed as against the German
National bank, but not as against
rl..
stituted by the insurance compa
nies when it was discovered that
Dr. R. G. Lightle was not dead,
as was supposed when the poli
cies upon his life were paid, and
it was by the filing of the suits
that the first disclosures in the
case were made. Since the suits
have been pending the money in
the German National bank has
been tied up, as the bank could
not honor any check on the de
posit. Mrs. Lightle gave the in
surance companies a check for
$15,000, and the dismissal of the
suits will permit this to be paid.
