Griffen v. . Manicegreen2 sentences1933In that case Judge Pound wrote (at pp. 553, 554): “ The tendency in the more modern decisions in cases like this is to put the company on its defense when the loss is inconsistent with the proper care and the facts are in its possession, because ‘ the thing itself speaks.’ Cullen, J., in Grifen v.
