Syllabus by the Court.
The trial court did not err in striking, on motion in the nature of a general demurrer, the amendment to the defendant's amswer, nor in thereafter overruling the defendant's amended motion for new trial.
W. L. McCrary, as executor of the estate of Carrie S. McCrary, plaintiff, sued Pilot Life Insurance Co., as defendant, to recover on a policy of group life insurance issued by the defendant. The defendant filed an answer in which it denied that the deceased was covered by the policy for reason of certain alleged facts. The plaintiff then amended his petition and sought to plead waiver of such facts, and the defendant filed an amendment in which it alleged fraud on the part of the policyholder, but on motion, in the nature of a general demurrer, by the plaintiff such amendment was ordered stricken. Previously the trial court had overruled the plaintiff's motion, in the nature of a general demurrer, to strike the defendant's original answer. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff and thereafter the trial court overruled
