CLARK, Circuit Judge
(dissenting in part) :
I am pleased with the panel’s reassurance that neither Trawick I or Tra-wick II misconstrued the law of Mississippi on the limited extent of knowledge charged to an insurer when it undertakes to investigate an applicant. However, I cannot accept the majority premise which is of most immediate importance to the litigants at bar — that the district court did not misconstrue our opinion in Trawick I. I remain convinced that the trial of this cause now on review was conducted by a judge who felt constrained to apply an improper view of Mississippi law and therefore that the result of this trial was unjust. I respectfully dissent from the denial of rehearing for those reasons pertinent to this position which are set out in my previous dissent herein.
