CLAIM NOT SUSTAINED
SUPERIOR JUDGES DECIDE HOW
ARD CASE AGAINST PLAINTIFF.
IL Grew Out of the Building Of the
statehouse-Much Money In
voIved-Court Cases.

The three Superior Court judges. sitting
together. have decided against the plaintiff
in the suit Of William 3. Howard against
the State Of Indiana. The suit grew out
OF the construction Of the Statehouse. and
about 100000 was involved. Howard was
one Of the contractors. The suit was
brought on account Of an alleged breach
Of contract and to recover money expended
for extras in carrying out the contract.
The suit had been pending for several
years.
tiff's complaint in which the statute Of lin
itation was pleaded. II being alleged that
the cause of action did not accrue within
six years of the bringing Of the action. In
his brief In support of the answer the at
torney general held that the suit for Eek
tras'' in the construction Of the Statehouse
was an action on account and not on con-
tract. In case Of a contract the statute of
limitation cannot be pleaded, but suit on
account must be brought within six years
after the action accrued. The Superior
Court was of opinion that in this case the
action was one on account instead of
contract" and as the suit had not been
brought within six years after the work
was done by the plaintiff the States con-
tention was well taken. The case came UP
yesterday on the plaintiffs demurrer TO the
States answer which the court overruled.
Mr.. Howard died about half year ago
and at his death the executor or admin
istrator of his estate became the plaintiff.
The old firm of Howard & Denig succeeded
the original Statehouse contractor, who be-
gan the work but did not complete 1t. The
suit against the State was brought by
Addison c. Harris and by Hawkins &
Smith.
