Syllabus

<p>Insurance — Life insurance — Application—Policy—Evidence.</p> <p>1. Where a policy of life insurance with the application attached is offered in evidence by the plaintiff together with the proofs of death, the policy, the application and the proofs of death become evidence for all purposes in the case both for the plaintiff and the defendant.</p> <p>2. If the proofs of death disclose that the assured had in the application made untrue answers to questions relating to the attendance upon him by physicians and as to whether he had suffered from rheumatism, such statements are evidence against the plaintiff, and will be conclusive against the plaintiff unless they are explained or contradicted by competent evidence.</p>
