Supreme Court of the United States May 28, 1900, 262 (New York Life Insurance v. Cravens)

*395

Mr. J ustice McKenna

after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court.

The plaintiff in error presents its contentions in many forms, but they are all reducible to one, to wit, that the statute of Missouri has been decided to supersede the terms of the policy, and to be the rule and measure of the rights and obligations of the parties, notwithstanding the application for the policy.
