DES MOINES, Feb. 5. (Special Tele-
gram.) Ono of tho most remarkable cases
of nttemptcd Insurance frauds ever brought
before Iown courts has been stamped witn
tho condemnation of the suprcmu court
nnd tho verdict of the Jury In tho lower
court In favor of tho Insurance companies
will stand. It wns an nttcmpt on the part
of a young lawyer of this city, who wns
financially embarrassed, to recoup his for
tune by tnklng out a largo amount of ac
cident Insurance and then maiming him
self. John J. Long went hunting four years
ngo this month, near this city, and shot
n hole through his foot, which necessitated
nrcputntlon of tho foot. Ho had taken out
an nccldent Insurance policy for $10,000
less than a week boforo tho accident, one
third to be pnyablo on loss of n foot or
hand. Within an hour before he started
hunting he had tnken out eight accident
tickets for $3,000 each nnd these he sup
posed contained substantially tho same pro
visions. Ho had talked a great deal about
his contemplated hunting trip, had hinted
that he was liable to nn nccldent and had
talked nbout how easy It would bo to work
tho lnstiranco companies. In payment for
the policy ho took out ho gave n note pur
porting to be signed by his wife, but all
knowledge of his lnstiranco policies wns
kept from her. Ho had represented to the
lnstiranco agent that ho was going on the
road to travel nnd would soon bo able to
pay tho note.
Thero was evidence that the muzzle of
the gun had been deliberately Inserted In
side his overshoe when It was fired off.
On account of this tho Jury decided It wns
u caso of attempted fraud upon tho In
surance companies and returned a verdict
accordingly. Tho supreme court has re
viewed tho evidence and reaches tho same
conclusion. Long was crippled for life nnd
gets no money. His policies aggregated
$34,000. The caso was that of J. J. Long,
appellant, against tho Travelers' Insurance
company, Polk courty, affirmed.
Other I'nses Decided.
Other enses decided by tho supreme court
were:
Carl Eggert against J. C. Templeton nnd
