Hacker v. United States

FOSTER, Circuit Judge.

These two cases were argued at the same time, present identically the same question, and may be disposed of in one opinion.

Plaintiffs in error brought suits to recover on policies of war risk insurance. Adhering to his opinion previously expressed in Allen v. U. S., 10 F.(2d) 807, the District Court sustained motions of the government to try the cases without the intervention of the jury, and rendered judgment in favor of the United States on the law and the facts as found by him. Error is assigned to the action of the court in denying plaintiffs in error a trial by jury.
