On Motion for Rehearing and to Correct Findings of Fact.
Under the first four assignments in the motion for rehearing appellant complains that the opinion is based on matters excluded from the jury by the trial court. There are some statements in the findings of fact which should not have been included, and we now exclude them. They are as follows:
“Glasscock mentioned to Dolan the health certificate and examination in the Wichita Southern Life Insurance Company and expressed himself to Dolan as being satisfied that his health certificate would be all right.”
We exclude the above on the ground that it seems to have been excluded from the jury by the court’s charge, and received only as against Glasscock. We also, for the same reason, exclude from our findings of fact the following:
“Glasscock said to Dolan that he would be insured from the time he paid the money [premium] from the date of the application. ⅜ * * That he was insured from the date of that payment of the first premium until the company either accepted or rejected the application.”
The above had application only as against Glasscock, but not as against appellant.
We exclude also from our findings of fact the following statement:
“He [meaning Glasscock] further said to Dolan that if the company turned down his application the premium would be returned.”
We also withdraw from the opinion the expression:
“Where Dolan had been assured by the agent on receiving the premium that the premium would be returned in ease of a rejection of the application.”
We were also in error in stating that on cross-examination of the witness Schrock appellant elicited from the witness (Schrock) substantially the same as above. Appellant did not cross-examine the witness Schrock.
The motion for rehearing is sustained to the extent of making the above corrections in the findings of fact, and the observations of this court as above, and is overruled as to all other matters.
