n Lore, the witness WAS allowed to
tgark
ChAunCy I. Graham, sworn and
saAd that he is an architec', and
ii been in the business about twenty
IGyesrS.
ma plans were shown to him by Mr..
IAlds and be said that he would pro-
NanCe them preliminary drawings,
yIich we're worth about one per cent.
tthe cost of the building, with addi-
Aaal charges for any further specihca'
ions; the whole charge should be about
one and one half per cent. which tn g
witness would consider reasonable.
CrOssexamined-the drawings are
not such as the witness would furnish
from which to make estimates, the
plans are complete as far as they go,
but the elevation is a very crude piece
Oiwork; the witness thought it would
not take him more than three or four
days to draw a similar plan, and about
day and half on the elevation; the
schedule price Is two and one half per
cent for the plans, specifications and
elevations.
On previous examination the witness
aid that the plaus submitted to him
where sufficiently explicittO enable any
one to make estimates from them.
William r. FarrSn sworn, and
testified that he is an architect, and has
worked in London and other places in
Europe. The witness examined the
plans and said that he Would not call
Them preliminary, for all they required
was the figures TO make them complete;
% did not think there would be any
dRCulty in forming an estimate, or
construCting a building from these
Plans, although they are not exactly
hniShcd as first class; in the estimation
dtAe witness these plans would be
worth about two per cent OF the coDt OF
The building.
CrOsS-examined by Mr.. Lore-when
plans are furnished without figures, 1t
lsneCeSSary for the carpenter to meas
lre,
hr. Lore asked the witness "where
I'D YOU learn your business?" "In
DubliD;" "where did you 60 then?'
down the country" "well where did
you go then?" ITO Boston," "and from
aers?" Ito Philadelphia, and from
rAiladelphia here" swell where are
you uow?" asked Mr.. Lore, "well I'm
ssOSg with you now"
sThe questions and answers caused
cenSiderable merriment In the Court
room, and when it had subsided Mr..
lore asked him 'if you were to make a
Ran like that, what would you do?"
Get my money for it, I could" This
aused another outburst of laughter, in
winch Mr.. Lore heartily Joined. After
aieW more questions the witness was
lowed to depart, and Mr.. Eields
01ted that he would rest his case.
Mt. Lore opened for the defense by
ssssaang to the jury that he expected to
OuoW that Mr.. Thorne lad offered tc
make these plans for the defendant
wthOut charge, and that nothing was
Sll about any consideration for them,
\ Sutl after the plaintiff ascertained thai
W 3 was not to construct the house.
