Apart from Michelle's comment regarding the reason for selecting the file
before deleting it, why bother checking if it exists at all?:

tell application "Finder"
try
delete file "Fishads Addresses" of folder "List Addresses" of disk "OSX"
on error
-- who cares? If it doesn't exist we're in the clear anyway
end try
end tell
