No. 17747.

322 F.2d 304 (1963)

NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a corporation, Appellant, v. Milton MICHAELSON, Yetta Michaelson and Niagara Fire Insurance Company, a corporation, Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit.

September 6, 1963.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bolton, Groff & Dunne, and Gene Groff, Los Angeles, Cal., for appellant.

Thomas P. Menzies and James O. White, Jr., Los Angeles, Cal., for appellee.

Before CHAMBERS, HAMLEY and MERRILL, Circuit Judges.


CHAMBERS, Circuit Judge.

The Michaelsons owned a building in Culver City, California. It burned up on July 17, 1959. It was stipulated by all the parties that the loss was $16,000. It is fair to say the risk was a poor one. A few years before, Travelers Insurance Co. had paid a fire loss there and decided it wanted no more of the risk. Apparently Northwestern was the next company to carry the risk, issuing a policy in the amount of $19,000.
