DEITCH OF THE INDIANAPOLIS BAR ASSISTED BY FRANK G. WEST OF THE INDIANAPOLIS BAR INDIANAPOLIS THE ROUGH NOTES COMPANY, PUBLISHERS PREFACE This Volume completes the twenty-fifth year of the "Insurance Digest." It contains 795 cases and citations from many leading articles and references to annotations, relating to insurance, appearing in the law periodicals and reports published during the year ending October 31, 1912. The cases are classified as follows: Out of 621 cases in which the companies were directly involved, judgments of the trial courts in 183 instances were for the companies, while 438 were decided against them. Of the 621 cases decided, 563 were appealed to higher courts, resulting in 250 decisions in favor of the companies and 313 decisions against them. In other words, the companies were successful in but 29.5 per cent. of the reported cases tried in the lower courts and but 45 per cent. of the cases appealed. I express my obligations to Mr. Frank G. West and Miss Goldie Margaret Scovell of my office, for assistance in the preparation of this Volume. GUILFORD A. DEITCH.
