Gentlemen:-
Inre Harrison White
I an in receipt of your letter of 8th inst,enclosing copy of
’ letter from Mr.Gourley to you. In reply thereto beg to say that
. The Fidelity and Casualty Company has no policy of insurance covetng
Mason & Hanger Company or covering this accident. The azit originally
was filed against Armstrong & Bragg Co.,against Mason,Hanger & Co. and
the Lexington & Eastern RailWay‘Eompany,and we instructed Mr.Gonrley ,
our Attorney at Jackson,Ky. to defend the case so far as your Company
5 was concerned. We made a settlement with White and afterwards he
{ filed a suit and we have succeeded in having the case dismissed so far
:_as Armstrong & Bragg Company is concerned. If your Company had a
icontract with Mason & Hanger Company to hold them harmless and protect
rthem from loss that is a matter 311 which the Fidelity and Gaelalm
Company is not concerned,and I do not see any reason why the Fidelity
and Casualtr Company should defend this suit so far as Mason,Hanger & Co.
' is concerned. We have protected your Company to the full extent as
provided by the terms of the policy.

DOES HEREBY AGREE
(1) TO INDETMNIFY the person, firm, or corporation, named in statement 1 of the Schedule of l
Statements and herein called the Assured, AGAINST LOSS FROM THE LIABILITY IMPOSED BY
LAW UPON THE ASSURED for damages on account of bodily injuries or death suffered as the result ;
of an accident occurring while this policy is in force,——(a) by any employee or employees of the Assured
while at the places designated in statement 4 of the said schedule, in and during the prosecution of the
work described in the said statement 4; (b) by any driver (not covered by Teams’ insurance in this Com—
pany), employed by the Assured at the places designated in statement 4 of the said schedule, while en— ’
gaged in his duties as driver in the territory covered by the teams of the Assured in the prosecution, at
the said places, of the work described in the said statement 4:;
(2) TO DEFEND in the name and on behalf of the Assured any suit brought against the Assured
to enforce a claim, whether groundless or not, for damages on account of bodily injuries or death suffered,
or alleged to have been suffered, by the persons described in subsections a and b of the preceding para—
graph at the places therein designated and under the circumstances therein described, and as the result of
an accident occurring while this policy is in force: '
SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.
. A: Upon the occurrence of an accident the Assured shall give immediate written notice thereof, with the fullest infor—
mation obtainable at the time, to the Company at its home ofﬁce or to the agent who has countersigned this policy. If a
claim is made on account of such accident the Assured shall give like notice thereof with full particulars. If thereafter any
suit is brought against the Assured to enforce such a claim, the Assured shall immediately forward to the Company at its
home ofﬁce every summons or other process as soon as the same shall have been served on him. The Company reserves the
right to settle any claim or suit. Whenever requested by the Company, the Assured shall aid in securing information, evi-
dence,and the attendance of witnesses; in effecting settlements; and in prosecuting appeals. The Assured shall at all times
render to the Company all cooperation and assistance within his power.
B: . This policy does not cover loss from liability for, or any suit based on, injuries or death—(1) suffered by any per—
son unless his compensation is included in the estimate set forth in the schedule (but this exclusion shall not apply to injuries '
or death suffered by drivers of teams covered by Teams’ insurance in this Company, while such drivers are engaged in
duties other than those of a driver) ; (2) suffered or caused by any minor hired contrary to law or suffered or caused by any
minor while performing any work contrary to law; (3) suffered or caused by any child under fourteen years of age employed
by the Assured in any state in which there is no law restricting the age of employment in the Assured’s trade or business; (4)
suffered or caused by any contract—convict—laborer; (5) suffered or caused by any person while riding or attempting to ride
upon any elevator or hoisting device which cannot be operated directly by the person riding thereon, (but this exclusion shall
not apply to injuries or death suffered or caused by any employee engaged in installing, repairing, or inspecting such an ele— "
vator or hoisting device, or by any employee riding on such an elevator or hoisting device in violation of the Assured’s
express rules to the contrary).
D: This policy does not cover loss from the liability of the Assured under, or any suit based on, any Workmen’s Com-
pensation Law providing compensation for workmen on a basis other than the negligence of the Assured, unless an endorse-
ment is added hereto speciﬁcally extending the policy to cover such
