afternoon Judge Townsend handed
down a decision refusing the applica-
ton of Burton f. Cannon, the George

Newton Judge Townsend finds that
Cannon concealed assets, refused 10

SUIT ON POLICY.

LAWYER j. Birney futile in behalf OF,
the Freedman Millinery company of IS
washington avenue yesterday brought
suit against the Traders Fire Insurance
company of New York to recover on
policy Of $1,000 for losses sustained by
fire on March 25, last. The defendant
company had It's license to do business
in Connecticut, revoked by Insurance
Commissioner Scofield on March 3, be-
cause of its failure to pay it's losses. 1t
began business In February, 1898, and
like many other companies has been hit
very hard by fire losses. When 1T
stopped doing business altogether a
month or so ago, its entire surplus ex-
cept $10,91S was hausted. Its capital
was 100000.
The Freedman policy was originally
made out to Pauline Freedman, but
when the company was formed was
made payable to Pauline and Joseph
Freedman, doing business as The
Freedman Millinery company. The in
surance company refused to pay the
face of the policy on the ground that
the company was not properly descrih
ed as the Freedmans did not alone conn
prise the Millinery company. Mr.. Tut
tie claims that the description was the
act of the companys agents and is
binding. This is the interesting point
of law in the case,
