FAULTY CONSTRUCTION
IN LIPPITT VILLA.
Contractors Say This Was Cause of
the Collapse of the Wall and
Killing of Pierce.

The inquest into the causes of the
death Of Frank G. Pierce OF Warren.
who was killed by fall of the tower on
| the new house OF ex-Gov. Lippitt at
Newport, was continued yesterday, the
main feature of the hearing being ex-
pert evidence
Lewis r. Fisher OF harrington, was
of the opinion that there was a struc-
tural weakness, owing To the fact that
the anchor rods put in to support the
oVerhang were short, also the lack OF
Portland cement on top of the wall
where the oVerhang rested. The .mme-
date cause, he thought, was the SOFT
ening OF the mortar by the rain, and
possibly the wind had some effect He
would not have set men to work about
walls exposed as they were after such
a rain without examining the walls
first.
Charles @. Smith OF Nayatt, another
contractor and builder said that better
mortar should have been used with
such an overhang, and the rods should
have been longer.
Capt. Joseph II. Coulton of Newport
a civil engineer, said that he had found
that the mortar was completely satu-
rated and with practically no cohesive
quality. He had found on the other
roofs that proper provisions for carry
ing the rain water off the walls had not

opinion that the tower would have fall
en- regardless OF the storm.
Charles A. Whipple of Providence,
foreman on the work, who was injured,
said the mortar was the same as that
ON other parts OF the bu lding, one
part of Roslindale cement, three OF lime
and eight or nine of sand. He said the
accident was due to the storm. He had
examined the walls and saw no bulg-
ing. The mortar was hardened on the
exterior; the toweS had been completed

when il went up but when IL was COM
pleted was satisfied that 1t was all
right.
George Mason OF PawtuclSet, mason
on the Job at the time of the accident,
did not think the irons were long
enough. and also was OF the opinion
that the walls projected considerably.
He said that rhe novelty OF the con-
struction had caused general discuss on.
The hearing was then adjourned 10 Fri
day afternoon next, when more testl-
mony will be taken.
