Description
This is an action brought by the beneficiary of an insurance policy on the life of one Louis Marx to recover the death benefits. The defendant, appellant on this appeal, is the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which issued the policy April 14, 1921. A clause in the policy provides that if the age of the insured has been misstated, the amount of insurance payable shall be what the premiums paid would have purchased at the correct age. In his application for insurance the insured stated that he was born October 15, 1866. At the trial the beneficiary claimed that to be the correct age. This was disputed by the insurer who offered evidence to prove that the insured had been born in the year 1862 and other evidence tending to establish a different date, prior to 1866. This evidence was excluded by the trial judge who directed a verdict for the beneficiary. The insurer took this appeal.
