WILLIAM moRoAN's CONTRACT.
Important Bill iu Equity Before judge
Putnam Yesterday Afternoon.

An important suit was begun before
Judge Putnam inssthe Unitde States Cir
cult court yesterday afternoon, growing
O ut of a broken government contract on
Diamond island.
1t appears that William Morgan oil
Trenton, made a contract with the gov
eminent to build two gun emplacernents
at Diamond island. He threw up the
contract last June and left the work I'M
completed, leaving a large amount OF
claims for labor and materials unpaid.
! Morgan had given a bond to the govern
as surety in the sum of $4,000, to reim-
burse the government for any loss in case
of non-completion of the contract.
| Under a recent statute of the United
States, ell persons who furnish material
or labor to any government contractor
are given the right to bring suit on
the bond in the name of the United States
for their benefit.
| After Morgan threw up the contarct
the governments annulled the contract and
took possession of the material for the
purpose of continuing the work.
Eighty-one suits. aggregating over $751;
900 were brought against William Morgan
and the American Surety company and
| there are other claims outstanding to the
amount of about IS, 600 more.
The American Surety company now
brings bill in equity against all the
plaintiffs. in the actions at law and
against all other parties who furnished
labor and materials to Morgan. asking
that the plaintiffs in the actions at law
may be restrained from further prosecu
ting these suits, that all other claimants
be restrained from bringing suits and
that receiver be appointed to ascertain
the amount Of money due to Morgan on
the contract for work done and the
amount due for all material and labor
furnished by the claimants.
10 avoid a multiplicity of suits and
costs and expenses the American Surety
company offers to pay such amounts as
may be due the claimants up TO the sum
of $4,000.
There are many Portland parties inter-
ested as claimants, including Thomas
Laughlin Co., John E. Fisher, Edwards
& Walker, the Portland Company, many
Italian and American lnborers, about 81
in all.
Thomas L. Talbot appears for the
American Surety company, Benjamin
Thompson for the Thomas Laughlin Co.,
John e. Fisher and many laborers, Bird
& Bradley for many laborers, Payson &
