1Opinion of the Court
Stone, Justice.
Action on a policy of life insurance. The insured departed this life within the period of contestability for suicide, in which event plaintiff, as beneficiary, would be entitled only to recovery of premiums. The case has been tried twice. Both juries awarded plaintiff the amount of the premiums, finding for defendant on the issue of suicide. Plaintiff appeals from the order denying her a new trial.
After the first trial there was a similar appeal. Scott v. Prudential Ins. Co. 203 Minn. 547, 282 N. W. 467. To that decision we refer for many details which need no restatement.
