BUILDER SUES q
FOR $4,000 ON
ASYLUM CONTRACT
Claims 1t Cost That Amount
Extra to Finish Overbrook
Work ON Time.

Alleging that owing to the failure or
Frederick w. Shrump g. Sons, of Pleas
antdale, N j., dealers in cut stone, to
live UP to their contract made with
him he was unable to complete the new
Overlook asylum within the time
specified in his contract with the
county Richard E. Heningham, of New
York, began a damage suit to recover
SIS. 900 in Judge Heisley's Circuit Court
today.
The contract between Heningham and
the defendants called for the latter firm
to furnish and deliver to the grounds
before September, 1906 all the rough
and face rubble stone, all the cut brown
stone and to perform all the labor re-
quired for quarrying.
Heningham complains that the stone
was not all delivered until late in Noe
vember, and that when 1t was deliver
ed 1t was not placed in the proper place
as stipulated in the contract. He fur
ther claimed that the stone was defec-
tive In quality and would not weather
through winter, some of 1t even
crumbling to dust before 1t was used
in construction, and. that it was neces-
sary to tear part of it out of the build
ing and replace it by stone purchased
elsewhere.
Owing to the poor quality of the stone
which Shrump & Sons furnished, Hen
ingham found it necessary, he alleges.
to buy from other firms, and he claims
that Shrump & Sons promised to make
good the amount go expended, but that
they had failed to do so, and his suit
is instituted for the amount expended.
J. Henry Harrison, of this city, and
william F. Kfmber, of New York, are
appearing for the plaintiff and. Frank
e. Bradner Is attorney for Shrump
& Sons.
Heningham was the first witness
called to the stand. The entire morn
ing was spent in Identifying and ad-
mitting into evidence contracts between
the parties. At the noon recess court
was adjourned for the day. The jury
spent the afternoon at Overbrook in
specting the work.

MICHAEL O'ROURKE HANGS
HIMSELF WHILE INSANE

While 1t is believed he was suffer-
ing from temporary insanity and brood
ing over the fact that his employer had
decided to give up horses and use an
automobile instead. Michael ORourke,
who worked eight years for George r..
Howe. hung himself in the barn Of
Mr.. Howe at the rear of his home,
corner of Park and Arlington avenues,
East Orar &c, on Saturday night.
O'Rourke's daughter had been wait
ing in the vicinity until her father came
from the stable. His body was found
hanging from the hay shoot by Mr.
Howe, who had just returned from an
automobile ride. He hurried out for
medical assistance, but it was too late
O'Rourke was married and had three
children. Although it Is said he had
been offered another position. the fact
that he was going away from the Howe
place, where he had been so long,
preyed on his mind. His funeral will
be held tomorrow morning at o'clock.
