Action on a policy of life insurance for $1,000. Judgment for plaintiff for the difference between said sum and the amount of a loan on the policy, which difference, with interest, amounted to $876.43. The Kansas City Court of Appeals reversed^ the judgment and remanded the cause with directions to enter judgment for plaintiff for $138.26. It' deemed its decision in conflict with the decision of the St. Louis Court of Appeals in Knapp v. Life Ins. Co., 214 Mo. App. 151, 259 S. W. 862, and for that reason transferred the case to this court. [Gooch v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 49 S. W. (2d)…
