A Mechapic's Lien Case.

In the case Of Ephraim Nash against Mary E.
Neale to have property sold to satisfy a
mechanics lien the latter today, by Campbell
Darlington, fled her answer. She denies that
the plaintiff executed the contract; asserts that
| what little material was furnished was old and
unfit for use; that he never put roof on the
house; and she denies that he is entitled to COM
pensation, and asserts that she is entitled to
damages because he left her property exposed,
and some Of it was condemned by the building
inspector; that the result was the sickness of
her children and death of her mother, and the
reason she has not sued him is his financial
irresponsibility. She states that he sued her
May 3, 1888, for 800, claiming that he had put
the roof on the house, and the case was argued
and tho justice commenced to give his decision,
which was plainly adverse to plaintiff. when he
said he would take non-suit, and three days
afterward he filed mechanics lien against her
premises, 4l5 9Th street southeast.
