Knights and Ladies of Security v. Russell
Knights and Ladies of Security v. Russell
Opinion of the Court
Appellee recovered in the trial court judgment against appellant on a benefit certificate issued by appellant on the life of her husband. It is contended on this appeal that tlms judgment was erroneous because of the falsity of the following representations (which by the terms of the policy became warranties) in the application for insurance: First. That the applicant had never had, or been informed by a physician that he had, or been treated by a physician for, la grippe or liver disease. Second. That contained in the negative answers to these questions: “Do you drink wine, spirits, or malt liquors? Have you been intoxicated during the past year?” Third. That the applicant had not consulted professionally or been treated by a physician or surgeon within the past five years.
While the testimony as to drinking of intoxicants by deceased may have conclusively shown that he had at times drunk and became intoxicated, it is not conclusively shown that he was intoxicated within the time mentioned in the question, and the evidence tends to show that he had quit drinking some time prior to the date of the application.
The judgment of the trial court will be affirmed.
