1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by.
Mr. Justice Jones.
The appeal in this case is from a verdict and judgment for plaintiff in an action on a policy of insurance on the life of Walter Dargan, payable to plaintiff, his wife, in the sum of $1,500. The exceptions allege error in the refusal of motion for nonsuit, in the refusal to direct a verdict, and in certain portions of the charge to the jury, all of which, except the fifth exception, to which reference will be made later, hinge upon the question whether there was any testimony tending to support plaintiff's action.
