Ellen E. Mallory, Respondent v. the Travelers’ Insurance Company, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's denial of the insurer's motion for nonsuit, holding that the policy was not void for the deceased's prior insanity and nondisclosure, and that the death was an accidental injury covered by the policy. The court also declined to address the plaintiff's alleged lack of insurable interest, deeming it immaterial.
