## Opinion text

Mr. Justice Hydrick.
I concur in this opinion as applied to the facts of this case. But I reserve my opinion as to whether such testimony would not be admissible in a case where it appeared that plaintiff’s injury resulted from reckless, wilful or malicious acts of defendant. In such a case, it might be reasonably inferred that such conduct was induced by reliance upon the insurance, and, if punitive damages are awarded, the general rule is that all the facts and circumstances should be laid before the jury in order that they may the more intelligently and justly award proper punishment.
