1Opinion of the Court
ROSS, Circuit Judge.
Floyd and Doretha Harris brought this diversity action to recover proceeds on a fire insurance policy by reason of the destruction by fire of their residence in St. Louis, Missouri. The policy was issued by Zurich Insurance Company, which denied the claim on the grounds that the loss was caused by arson committed by the policyholders. The case was submitted to a jury which found, as a matter of fact, that Floyd Harris intentionally set fire to the insured property. Accordingly, the district court entered judgment for the defendant. Plaintiffs appeal. We affirm. .
