Alvina Stahlberg, Respondent, v. The Protected Home Circle, Appellant.
    
      Stahlberg v. Protected Home Circle, 178 App. Div. 948, affirmed.
    (Argued May 26, 1919;
    decided July 15, 1919.)
    Appeal from a judgment, entered May 25, 1917, upon an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the fourth judicial department, which reversed an order of the court at a Trial Term setting aside a verdict in favor of plaintiff and granting a new trial and directed judgment in favor of plaintiff upon said verdict. The action was to recover upon a certificate of benefit insurance. The defendant conceded that the insured died as a result of being run over by a freight train. It contended, however, that he committed suicide and that in such case the plaintiff would only be entitled to recover the amount of payments made with interest.
    
      Adelbert Moot, A. W. Williams, Welles V. Moot and William G. Martin for appellant.
    
      William Stearns and Carlton B. Livermore for respondent.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.

Concur: His cock, Ch. J., Chase, Collin, Cuddeback, Hogan, McLaughlin and Crane, JJ.
