1Opinion of the Court
BRYAN, Circuit Judge.
This is a suit on a life insurance policy, in which the plaintiff, Mary E. McCampbell, was named as beneficiary. The policy was issued by the defendant company on the life of plaintiff’s husband, William T. McCampbell. The defense is that the policy lapsed for nonpayment of an annual premium. A jury was waived by stipulation in writing, and the trial was before the District Judge, in accordance with sections 649 and 700 of the Revised Statutes (Comp. St. §§ 1587, 1668). There was judgment for the defendant, and the plaintiff sues out this writ of error.
