tried In the state was recently set
tied In Decatur. A man bought
1000 extra fine cigars and had them
insured for their full value, smoked
them up and then demanded his
insurance, claiming they had been
destroyed by fire. The case was
taken to court and decided In favor
of the young man. The insurance
company then had the young man
arrested for setting fire to his own
