Description
This action was brought in a state court of Arkansas by the appellee, Dora Miller, a resident of that State, against the appellant, to recover upon a policy of life insurance in which she was the beneficiary. The policy was issued in January, 1930, by the appellant, a life insurance company of New York, to Flora M. Maddox, later Flora M. Dillon, a citizen of California, who died in December, 1941, while the policy was in force. The appellant removed the case to the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, and by answer and cross-complaint converted it into an action in interpleader, with Dora Miller (the appellee), Carl Maddox, the first husband of Flora M. Dillon, the insured, (from whom she had been divorced September 9, 1931), and Claude Dillon, her second husband, as adverse claimants. In its answer the appellant admitted its liability under the policy, but asserted its inability to determine whether all premiums were paid by the insured or whether Carl Maddox and Claude Dillon, named as cross-defendants, contributed to the payment of premiums. In its cross-complaint the appellant asserted that it had deposited the amount due upon the policy in the registry of the court; that there were two or more adverse claimants, citizens of different states, who claimed to be entitled to the money, namely, Dora Miller, a citizen of Arkansas, Carl Maddox, a citizen of Colorado, and Claude Dillon, a citizen of California; that Carl Maddox claimed that his individual and community funds were used in the payment of premiums on the policy and that he was entitled to a communty interest in the proceeds of the policy; that Claude Dillon made a similar claim; and that the appellant could not, with safety to its own interest, recognize any of the conflicting claims. The prayer of the cross-complaint was for a determination of the rights of the appellee and the cross-defendants to the fund paid into court, for an injunction against the bringing of other suits upon the policy, and for an allowance of costs and an attorneys fee.
