At the close of plaintiff\u2019s evidence motion for judgment of nonsuit was allowed and plaintiff appealed.\nUnder the terms of the policy double indemnity was payable in case of death due to \u201cbodily injury effected solely through external, violent and accidental means,\u201d and in case \u201cdeath occurred within ninety days after the date of such injury and as a direct result thereof, independently-of any other cause.\u201d The policy did not cover death resulting directly or indirectly from \u201cany bodily or mental disease or infirmity.\u201d\nFrom an examination of the evidence offered at the trial, by which the plaintiff sought to establish the defendant\u2019s liability under the quoted provisions of the policies, we are left with the impression that the evidence was insufficient to require submission to the jury, and that the judgment of nonsuit was properly entered.\nJudgment affirmed.",
