Description
Plaintiff appeals from a judgment in his favor for $4480.00 on a three count petition. Count I sought to recover $15,232.82 upon an inland floater policy issued by defendant, covering a scheduled list of guns. Count II sought recovery of $4,808.00 upon a similar separate policy also covering guns. The difference between the two policies is that the Count I policy covered shooting guns, while the Count II policy covered collectors guns. Count III was for vexatious refusal to pay. The jury returned a verdict of $4,000.00 on Count I; $480.00 on Count II, and $1,948.00 on Count III. The trial court granted defendant's motion to set aside verdict and judgment on Count III and entered judgment for defendant on that Count. Plaintiff's petition alleged that all of the scheduled guns had been stolen in a burglary. Defendant admitted the issuance of the policies that plaintiff had made demand upon it and that it had refused to make payment. Defendant denied all other allegations of the petition and raised no affirmative defenses.
