1Opinion of the Court
HOLMES, Circuit Judge.
The controversy in this case arises out of a discontinuance, on January 8, 1934, of death compensation payments to appellant, the widow of a deceased World War veteran, which were begun on February 17, 1931. The Veterans Administration found that appellant had forfeited her right to further payments by indulging in open and notorious illicit intercourse in violation of *427Section 22, subsection (5), of the War Risk Insurance Act of October 6, 1917, 40 Stat. 401. The question to be decided on this appeal is whether or not the district court had jurisdiction of this suit.
