    (Argued March 19, 1919;
    decided April 8, 1919.)
    Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the third judicial department, entered May 5, 1916, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a verdict in an action to recover upon a policy of accident insurance.

      G. E. Fitzgerald and James McPhillips for respondent.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
