KIMBALL SUES
LIFE JS. Cl.
Wnfleavors to Recover Money
on Contract Which Company
Charges is Not Real Contract
Entered Into Between Them.
Tlip case of G. S. Kimball vs. the
Atlantic States Life Insurance Com
pany was begun this morning In the
United States court. The plaintiff
charges that he entered into a con
tract with the Atlantic States provid
ing for the payment to him of 10 per
cent, commission on the sale of $36,-
000 of the* stock of the company,
which would be 13,600, and also to
pay him $1,600 additional for a re
lease from a former contract. Also
the company was to pay the usual
commissions on $10,000,000 of insur
ant e which Kimball agreed to write
I*he plaintiff charges that the con
tract was broken and he wants over
SIOO,OOO damages from the company.
The company is now out of business
and the suit is directed against Mr.
J. C. Lamar as receiver.
The defendant claims that Kimball
Is not presenting the contract signed
t, him and the company’s agents on
August 17 1012 and that the pro
visions of the original contract Kim
ball surreptiously changed, and also
that the receiver of the Atlantic
States should not pay Kimball any
money at all. The claim Is made
that the original contract contained
no such provisions as the one which
Kimball now says it contained and
that lie changed the contract in the
office of the company at Augusta, un
beknown to the officers. The plain
tiff is represented by Mr. (’ H. Shanks
of Scuttle, Washington, and Mr. Wal
ter H* McKlreath, of Atlanta, while
the defendant is represented by Cal
laway, Hpw&rd and West, of Augus
