1Opinion of the Court
VOGEL, Circuit Judge.
These appeals arise out of the issuance-of two insurance policies by New York Life Insurance Company on the life of Reuben W. Bredlow, now deceased, and: in which plaintiffs are the named beneficiaries. Diversity of citizenship and amounts involved supply the requirements for federal court jurisdiction.
Both policies provide for double indemnity benefits in the event that death, of the insured resulted directly and independently of all other causes from bodily injury effected solely through external violent and accidental causes or means.
