Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Decision'—Law of Case. Matters determined upon an appeal become conclusively the law of the case upon a second appeal.</p> <p>Tbial — Instructions—Construed in Connection With Entire Charge. An instruction will not be held reversibly confusing, although not entirely clear, if, taken in connection with the entire charge, it is not calculated to mislead the jury or cloud the issues.</p> <p>Insurance — Actions on Policy — Defenses—Instructions—Issues Presented. It is not error to refuse an instruction limiting plaintiffs recovery on a $5,000 policy to $1,000 in case the death of assured was due to unnecessary exposure, where no defense of that character was interposed.</p>
