  The ground state of a one-dimensional Hubbard model having the next-nearest
neighbor hopping (t') as well as the nearest-neighbor one (t) is numerically
investigated at half-filling. A quantum Monte Carlo result shows a slowly
decaying pairing correlation for a sizeable interaction strength $(U \leq 2t)$,
while the system is shown to become insulating for yet larger $U>U_C\sim 3t$
from a direct evaluation of the charge gap with the density-matrix
renormalization group method. The results are consistent with Fabrizio's recent
weak-coupling theory which suggests a transition from a superconductor into an
insulator at a finite U.
