town Of Cape Elizabeth. Maine. pro, idsd
said Field produces evidences satisfactory
to said secrstary that he has paid said
Judgment.
The csse referred to in this bill was
tried In the United States Court at Port
land.
The claimant. Edwin L. Field, has leon
for the past i've years In the employ OF
the United States government as mag
ter workman upon government work By
and under the supervision OF the chief OF
en- gineers. For 20 years previous be WAS
constantly employed BY contractors who
were doing dredging for the United

ing him permanent and serious injuries,
on account Of which Atkins brought

Field for $S,4bs IS which. with interest
amounts to %. sa1 3s.
The allegstions made In the suit were
that the derrick did not have sufficient
guys or proper syeboits to fasten the
same. Upon the recommendation OF the
war department. the department Of jus
tioe assigned tae assistant United States
district attorney for Maine to defend
Field. Fields defense was that, II the
accident was the result of the defects
mentioned. he was not responsible, as this
appliances were Furnished by the govern
msnt under the erection and approval
Of one Of Its officers In charge Of tbs
work. To substantiate this position. the
testimony Of Col. Hains, United States
engineers. who ct the time had charge Of
the work, and under whom Field WAS
acting, was essential, but Col. Hams be-
Ing absent from the state, bis deposition.
although taken, did not arrive until sew
erai days after the rendering OF the YER
dict. The delay in obtaining and for
warding this depe sltion was not the fault
of Field. The dsposiii ~ Of Col. Hains.
which has been presented to the commit
tee, shows that Field was considered a.
exceediugly efficient engineer, and that
the accident was ] no vile attributable
TO him.
