spondent and that he lived there seven
or eight years ago. He said he remem-
bered him because there was n fire in

case to them on the facts The two
counts We're for making false statements
as to the value of the property and for
making false statements as to his owner
| ship of it. The case went to the jury
at about 43O o'clock and in Is minutes
