Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court February 27, 1903 (Abraham v. Mutual Reserve Fund Life Ass'n)

Lathrop, J.

1. The principal question in this case is whether evidence is admissible to explain the statement in the proofs of death, when the defendant has not been notified before the trial of the fact that the statement was erroneous. We-do not see how this case can be distinguished from Hogan v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. 164 Mass. 448, where such evidence was held to be admissible.
