Morris:

In the Appeal of Fred J. Hughes, 1 B. T. A. 944, we held that the rule of ejusdem generis is applicable in the construction of the words “other casualty ” as used in section 214 (a) (6) of the Bevenue Act of 1918. As the taxpayer is claiming a deduction in this appeal under an identical provision of the Bevenue Act of 1921, and the casualty was not of a character similar to a fire, storm, or a shipwreck, that decision is controlling in this appeal.
