This cause comes before us on an appeal from the finding and judgment of the trial court against the Continental Casualty Company, appellant, and in favor of Winnie Lacy, appellee, the beneficiary in a policy of insurance issued by the Casualty Company upon the application of her father, Moses Lacy, who was subsequently killed in a railroad accident. The Casualty Company declined to pay, claiming that the policy had lapsed before the death of Moses Lacy, whereupon appellee- brought this suit upon the policy to recover the amount of the death indemnity.
