u. S. and Taxpayer Will Split
$375,OOO in Fraud Recovery
Win Under 78-Y Yeor-OId Law by Verdict
Against Public Works Contractors

Chief witness for Mr.. Marcus was
Robert C. Carmack, s6,o00-a-year
manager for the Electrical Con-
tractors Association, who waived his
constitutional rights to testify. He
told of the associations bid-rigging
practices, asserted the association
controlled bidding, fixed the amounts
and selected the company which
was to be the low bidder Through
cooperation of labor unions, he said
competitive bidders were frozen
out"
In support of a claim of liability
on the part of the contractors, Mr..
Marcus called an expert estimator
who testified that the contractors
bids on most of the projects were
too high The defense countered
with similar expert testimony that
the bids. in many instances, were
lower than the average for such
work.
MIR. Carmack was excepted from
the judgment. Pennsylvania for
mer attorney general, Charles j
Margiotti, representing Mr.. Marcus,
had told the jury of six men and six
women that you may leave the de-
fendant Carmack out of your ver-
dict adding I'VE do not ask it nor
do we oppose it."
Defense Attorney Eugene B.
Strassburger declared the verdict
inconsistent" in that Mr.. Carmack
had been excepted and announced
he would petition for a NV trial.

PITTSBURGH, March ga ver-
dict of $315. .10091 was awarded today
by a Federal jury in an unusual dou-
BILE damage suit aginst Al Pittsburgh
electrical contractors, II firms and a
trade association to recover losses
on Federal public works projects.
Attorney Morris Marcus, who filed
the suit as taxpayer, had asked for
$253,27694- damages and $4,000 in
penaltits, claiming the defendants
defrauded the Government through
collusive bidding on 48 projects. Un-
der a law of 1868, which permits a
taxpayer to seek recovery of double
the losses incurred by the Govern
ment as the result OF fraud, Mr.
Marcus must split the verdict evenly
with the Government.
The verdict, reached after a days
deliberation, set $203, ,1O091 as dam
ages and SIP 900 in penalties for the
separate offenses.
The suit, which had been on trial
81 days, stemmed from a Federal
grand jury inquiry into building
practices in the Pittsburgh area.
The defendants pleaded no defense
and paid fines exceeding s40, 900 on
charges of conspiracy to defraud the
Government through collusive bid
ding on public works.
Originally, Mr. Marcus had sued
for 81 500 900, but during the course
