“The plea avers that the insurance policy `was payable to the said Joseph B. Sloan, his executors, administrators and assigns.' Under the statute above quoted an insurance policy so made payable `may be bequeathed by the insured to any person or persons whatsoever or for any uses in like manner as he or she may bequeath or devise any other property or effects of which he or she may be possessed.' 21 "If such an insurance policy `may be bequeathed by the insured' `in like manner' as he may bequeath `any other property or effects,' it may be included in a general residuary bequest of personalty and in this case was included in the bequest by the insured of `all my other personal property,' made in the third subdivision of his will.”
