HELLEFONE WON.
Given judgment in District Court
For $22.


The trial of a controversy between
Joseph Hellefone, peddler and Roger
#. capweil over an insurance policy
took place before Judge sweetlapd In
the civil division of the Sixth District
Court today. Mr.. Hellefone claimed
that Mr.. capwell had been paid S35 as
the premium on an insurance policy for
a period of fiye years, and when one
year was up he was notified that the
premium paid was for policy or one
years time. On the witness stand the
plaintiff claimed he owned properly at
10 Ambrose street, in the Norm Emu
on which there was insurance, ana on
his putting In q bakers oven Mr.. cap
well insisted on rise or the premium.
Mr.. Hellefone further testified that
there was a mortgage on his property,
and ne did not find out that the poiicy
was for only one year until ne went 10
pay the interest on the mortgage, MT.
Capwell being the agent or the mort
gagee, and that he then went TO Mr..
McGuinness and got an insurance on
s22.
A daughter of the plaintiff testified
that she went with her father to see
Capwell, and that her father wanted
CapWell to make the poilcy lot TWO
years and ne refused TO be bothered
with making a policy for less than hve
years. A son OF the plaintin and a
friend of his testified TO the same erect
as the first two witnesses.
Mr.. Capwell testified that he had
charge of mortgage held by Susan G..
Dean and insured the property for the
benefit of the rsortgagee. Before the
putting in of the oven the premium
was $3.50 a year, and the having OF an
oven in the cellar OF a house such as
Mr.. Hellefone's increased the cost or
insurance more than three times. Wit
ness said it was very hard TO get IN
surance on this property, and he had
to pay $35 less his commission Tor the
one year policy. He denied he had ever
told Mr. Hellefone that he would not
make out policy for two years, but
had told him. on the contrary, that the
policy could be taken out for only one
year
Insurance Agent Bunce and other ex-
perts testified in regard to the unde-
STABILITY of carrying insurance In the
locality and the increase OF premium
that would follow the putting in or a
bake oven at the location named.
Judge Sweetland gave Judgment for
the plaintiff for $22 and costs.
