On Motion for Rehearing.
The two insurance companies and 0. E. Girdner all ask for a rehearing, and pray, in the alternative, that the cause be reversed and remanded. We grant the prayer of all the above parties to reverse and remand the cause, and accordingly the former order of affirmance is set aside, and instead the judgment will be reversed and the cause remanded, the costs of appeal to be taxed against C. E. Girdner.
It is claimed in the motion that J. J. Essary was not “the insured”- in the first policy. The petition so alleges, but there is no affirmative evidence showing that he was. It is further claimed in the motion that the petition of C. E. Girdner did not authorize any judgment at all against the Insurance Company of North America nor a foreclosure of the lien as against either of the insurance companies.
The agreement appearing in the agreed facts was, we think, sufficient to authorize the court to allow to C. E. Girdner, as by agreement, the interest of J. J. Essary in the two policies. It was in virtue of this agreement only that we held in the original opinion that C. E. Girdner was entitled to have the interest of J. J. Essary, if any he had, in the policies of insurance.
