Description

Mrs. Howell carried a $5,000 life policy in the company. Her children were the beneficiaries. A double indemnity clause increased this sum to $10,000 in case of accidental death. Payments were to be made in monthly installments of $50 to each beneficiary. Mrs. Howell died December 31, 1932. The company admitted liability for $5,000 only and had made specified monthly payments up to August 22, 1934, when the complaint herein was filed. Defendants in error brought this suit for a declaratory judgment establishing the applicability of the double indemnity clause on the ground of death by accident. The company defended on the theory of no accident. The cause was tried to the court and an advisory jury, and judgment entered for defendants in error. To review that judgment the company prosecutes this writ.
