Evidence that in sured stated in his application for insurance that he had no dead brother was material to -the issue and was erroneously stricken out, in an action to recover on the benefit certificate, where the evidence tended to show that he had at the time he applied for the insurance a deceased brother, as, if he fraudulently made false answers to questions in his application that he had no brother dead for the purpose of inducing the defendant to issue to Mm the certificate, there could he no recovery thereon, whether his answer be considered a warranty or a representation.\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Joseph B. David, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1917.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed March 13, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Katherine Connors, plaintiff, against National Council, Knights and Ladies of Security, a corporation, defendant, to recover on a benefit certificate issued by defendant to plaintiff\u2019s brother, Joseph M.
