On Petition for Behearing.
PEE CUBIAM.
On an analysis of the record that is not entirely convincing the appellant complains that, though she made the coroner’s certificate showing .cause of death a part of her proofs of death, she did not thereby admit what her proofs showed, and that, accordingly, the theory of our decision is altogether wrong.
We find no occasion to restate or retry that part of the ease, but as the appellant, quite honestly aggrieved, represents that our decision of the ease on the first ground, and our failure also to decide it on the second, will greatly injure her, not only in this but in other litigation, we shall relieve her of all embarrassment arising from our action by affirming the judgment on the further holding that “the Pennsylvania statute under which the certificate of death was offered is not unconstitutional, and that the admission of the certificate in evidence under authority of that statute, for the purpose and with the effect it prescribes, was not error.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
