Description
Defendant in error, a fire insurance company, on May 1, 1946, and November 30, 1946, issued its policies in the amount of $16,000.00 to Frieda I. and Lloyd E. Hall, owners of a restaurant business in Fort Collins, Colorado. Fixtures therein were sold to the owners on April 22, 1946 by plaintiff in error, a fixture and supply corporation, which took back a chattel mortgage for the sum of $3,173.03, representing the unpaid balance of the purchase price. This chattel mortgage was placed of record in Fort Collins, the county seat. A fire which destroyed the restaurant and fixtures occurred December 20, 1946. No mention of the mortgage was made in the policies in any manner. The city fire chief attended the fire and determined that it had been started in nine different places in the restaurant; that there was evidence of kerosene about the premises; he concluded that the fire was of incendiary origin; and this was made known to an officer of the fixture company.
