VERDICT FOR BIG SUM GIVEN
PLAINTIFFS IN SUIT IN
CITY COURT.

The jury in the case of Mrs. e. T.
Fader and the Oglethorpe Savings
and Trust Company of Savannah rs.
the Germalne Insurance Compary
which has been on trial in the city
court since Monday morning, came
to a close yesterday afternoon, wha
the jury returned a verdict in favor
OF the plaintiffs in the sum of ST.
800.
The suit was for the sum of $500,
the amount of an insurance policy
carried by Mrs. Fader on her resi-,
dence, on Cochran avenue, which was
destroyed by hre almost two years
ago. The hre insurance company
refused to pay the premium on the
ground, first, that the house was not
worth as much as the insurance car
ried, and again on the ground that
the property. being Tovs Commons,
was not owned by Mrs. Fadtr. Both
OF these pleas, however, were bitter
Iy opposed by the plaintiffs.
Mrs. Fader and the trust company
were represented by J. T. Colson,
while Bennet, Twitty & Reese, of
this city, and Smith, Hammond &
smith. Of Atlanta, represented the
