to start with it wasn’t october. second at the time of small fire in corner i thought i had no insurance third how did you come up with 60,000 home only worth 32,000 and one of YOU told me i needed to file a claim fifth i set the bombs off to kill lice not set fire to the home i was cleaning up to rent out not to have heard co. come in and kick all new windows out. you forgot about the ceiling fan shorting out and falling. the fire alone wasn’t worth filing a claim on .wasn’t enough damage but going thur house and every new window kicked out made cost to repair go much higher. sorry no intentionally set fire i’m sorry you got mad mr. Craige and mr. Boswell because i wouldn’t say i did it but i didn’t do anything. i want to apolize to my family, friends for the embrassment of the untrue crime i’m charged with but IT IS NOT TRUE and i’m not guilty of any such! Craige knows it untrue he told me. he said he had to tell the insurance co. something so he had nothing to tell them so he says it was intentionally but he knows he’s wrong and i hope GOD will help me forgive him for his untrue charges
