3ells on the northwest corner OF the east
wing on Monday, October %, 1888, and
between the hours OF one and two
p. M. That q portion OF the
north wall and the northwest corner
gave way and fell, together with the
and PARTITION walls on the west
side of the main corridor of the east
wing aud burying the SAID o. N, Thomp-
son and Jacob Lee in she debris, and o..
N. Thompson was taken out dead 8nd
Jacob Lee incurred bodily injuries from
which he died on Wednesday afternoon,
October "a, 1888.
We tind that the said arches bad only
been constructed from two and n hall
to four days prior to the accident ard
that the centers and supports were ore.
maturely removed on Saturday. October
20, and Monday, October %, which is
Id direct violation OF the specifications,
which explicitly soy all centers and sup
ports shall remain under the arches IN
til each succeeding story is finished and
the building rooted in.
we find that the peEtition walls be-
tween thu cells on which the arches rest
ed were not properly bonded into the
outer walls, according to plans and
specifications. We also find that mex
perlsnced workmen and boys were en-.
ployed in the building of said inner
walls and arches.
We find that the arches over the cells
and corridors were built with q turn or
spring OF from sixteen to eighteen inches,
which is ia direct violation of the plans.
which call for g spging of from twenty
t@o to Jwenty-four inches.
We find that no tie rods and anohors
were pua in on the second and third
stories oyer the arches running north
and south through the east wing tc
| properly tie and support the arches and
| TO bind the outer walls to them, which II
in direct violation OF tie plans and
specifications.
We find from the testimony OF experts
| and Others that the omission of materia
and neglect to comply with the Llani
| aud specifications up to the present con
struction of the east wing has made sale
building unsafe and it is liable to fall a
any time.
We find that the mortar used in the
! wallis aud arches WAS not of the proper
tions required by the specifications, blu
was admitted by the testimony o.
mssons to be OF fair quality and strength
