Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit April 15, 1940, No. 7416 (Cole v. United States)

GRONER, C. J.

The single question on this appeal is whether the action is barred by the statute of limitations.1 The original petition was filed in the District Court on December 7, 1937. Subsequently an amended petition was filed, alleging that appellant was one of two beneficiaries named in a war risk insurance contract issued to Charles J. Va-canti, a brother, who died September 13, 1925.
