PAID BACK ILL-GOTTEN GAIN
Az INSURANCE. COMPANY $1,000
BETTER OFF BY 4 siIITTEN
CONSCIENCE.

The Restitution said to Have Been
Made Through n Priest by Nan
Who Set Fire 20 Ills store Several
Years Ago and Got the Insurance
Money.
An Insurance company, with an agency
in this city. is $500 better or. which it
can credit to its conscience fund IL in
surance companies have such fund.
Though they are supposed to be particu-
larly constituencies corporations, some Of
their patrons possess consciences, and
now and then return amounts which they
have unrighteously secured from the COM
panies.
When the conscience stricken party Is a
Roman Catholic he usually makes restitu-
ton through the priest to whom he con-
fessed his misdeed. This was the case in
this instance. The sum mentioned was
returned through Vicar General Cafferty
to an insurance company doing business
in this city one day last week. it is said.
a number Of parties seemed acquainted
with the fact, though they would not say
how they came by their Information. 1t
is supposed that the story was told by
the agent of the lucky company. As the
story goes the now conscience stricken
offender set fire to his property, said to
have been a storehouse, several years ago.
The property was destroyed and the own
er secured several thousand dollars fraudu-
lently from the company carrying the in
surance. Being along in years now and
desiring to make preparation for another
world, he confessed his crime to the
priest. and by his advice determined TO
make restitution. In order to save eN-
posture the restitution was made through
Father Cafferty. Those who have heard
the story are cudgelling their brains TO
fix upon the party who thus satisfied his
conscience by restoring the money which
he had acquired unlawfully
A similar instance to the above oc-
CURED in Savannah several years ago
in very much the same manner. The
penitent who was preparing for his entry
to another world was refused absolution
until he had made restitution of the money
obtained by him by setting fire to lot
of cotton some years before. The priest
undertook the office of restitution. The
Insurance agent to whom the amount was
paid over was at loss to know what TO
do with it. He represented several COM
panies, and whether the property which
was destroyed was insured in all of these
companies or only one or two of them
he could not tell. AS he was not given
the name of the party and the date OF the
crime he could not locate the loss He
wrote to his companies about the matter,
but they were as much at sea as he was
and the matter was finally adjusted by
prorating the amount among the COM
panies represented by the agent.
1t is said that such occurrences are not
infrequent, though they are not as frequent
as the insurance companies would like
to have them.
