— The plaintiff, Mrs. Houston, seeks recovery upon a $3,000 reinstated life insurance policy issued by the defendant insurance company, insuring, for her benefit, the life of her husband, Edson Kell Houston, now deceased. A trial upon the merits in the superior court for King county, sitting with a jury, resulted in a judgment rendered by that court denying Mrs. Houston recovery, notwithstanding the general verdict of the jury awarding her recovery for the full amount of the policy. Prom this disposition of the cause in the superior court, Mrs. Houston has appealed to this court.
