Description

A church society owned the property burned, subject to mortgages on it amounting to $4,620. The defendant had extensive control over the finances of the society, and was ""accountable only in equity for any default."" The property carried $9,000 of fire insurance. The defendant was personally in debt to a substantial amount. The State claimed that he set the fire to obtain part of the insurance money, and was allowed to introduce evidence that he made a payment towards the unpaid premiums for the insurance the day before the fire. The evidence was competent on the issue of motive. It tended to show that the insurance was a matter of thought and attention immediately before the fire. The fact that the insurance was then already in force did not make the evidence irrelevant. It would be natural for the defendant to consider the insurance more secure with payment for it made, although in fact no gain in the security was thereby made. The evidence tended to show a step in his plan thought by him to be of possible service to meet any claim that the insurance was not in good standing.
