THE SAN FRA NCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1896. ANOTHER BODY LIES E. Jewitt Saw a Dead Man Pinioned Beneath the Debris. PATRICK M'’KEEOWN DEAD The Proprietor of the Iil-Fated Brighton House Suc- cumbs. SOME ONE IS SADLY TO BLAME- All Work on the Ruins Suspended for Fear That the Adjoining Build- ing Will Share the Same Fate. Under a m of debris and heavy of the wrecked lodging-house on avenue and Fifth street lies the body of an unfortunate and unknown laborer. Such is the statement of E. Jewitt, a laborer at 148 Fifth street, who says t} he saw the body at the iime that he as- om the isted in removing poor J May § the basement a few minutes after Brighton lodging-house toppled ove: Mint avenue on Monday afternoon From midnight Monday until t nto Jewitt Led the Scarchers to the Place UNDER THE WRECK, see if the work was being done undera permit or not. Late last evening Patrick McKeown, one- of the victims of the accident, died in the Receiving Hospital, after suffering great agony for over th: hours. He was the proprietor of the Brig:ton House. s | ANOTHER VICTIM DEAD. Patrick McKeown D Crushed Between Two Large Timbers. P k McKeown, who, with his wife, conducted the Brighton House, died of his injuries last evening in the Receiving Hospital. He was in one of the middle rooms on the second story when the house went down. As the structure toppled over McKeown was caught between two large beams, which pressed upon him so hard that he couid hardly breathe. It ne- cessary to cut the timd to remove the rer.

The men went down | the rough ladder into the basement, picked their way among broken timbers and piles of brick until they reached a spot on the east side, midway of the structure. It is in there between the side wall and | tbe street embankment,” said Jewitt. “I was at work cleaning brick under the rear of the building, when I heard the cracking of timbers, and instantly 1 realized what was happening. I called to the men to run, and I sprang to the west wall, which did not come down, and saved 1f.

It is needless to say that each one interested tried to throw the blame upon some one else. It will no doubt fall upon either Sibley, Gleason or Davis, tie sub-contractors, or perhaps upon all three. Coroner Hawkins interviewed several of the workmen. One was Mike Howard, a laborer, who lives on Twenty-sixth street, near San Jose avenue. He said that early Monday morning he noticed that the large fore-and-aft timber under the floor was on a slant. The jackscrews and cribs were also out of piace; that they were not squared up as they should be. Howard called the attention of Foreman Davis to it, but the latter said that they were all right, and that the timber was just a little warped. The jackscrews in particular | were “off,” and he did not think they were safe, but he could not do anything. Here District Engineer Dougherty inter- posed the statement that Fire &'arden McCluskey had made an inspection of the building early in the morning and found thing all right. William Lenahan, a laborer employed in building the foundation, deciared that he saw nothing out of tne way with the underpinning. E. D. Davis, Sibley’s colored foreman, stated that at 3:30 P. he was in the base- ment and saw that everything was all | nght. An inspection of the wrecked premises by District Engineer Shaughnessy, IKire Marshal Towe and Mr. Pierson, a well- known architect, will probably do much toward fixing the responsibility where it belongs. They spent considerable time yesterday afternoon in the basement and found lenty of evidence of either criminal care- essness or ignorance. Even with the timbers, cribs and jackscrews twisted and displaced by the collapse very grave evi- dence of lax methods were discovered. In the first place, those excavating the sand had next to undermined cribs and sup- porting blocks. The street enbankment, after being planked up, had been braced by large pieces of timber placed against the cribs, the intermediate vlocks and the fore and aft timber under the floor. The street bank naturally settled and the bulg ing sand pressed against the braces, which in wurn pressed in the cribs and other tem- v 'y SUpports. With the immense weight of the build- ing pressing downward, the lateral pres- sure from the sireet embankment oper- ating upon the cribs, the cribs undermined by the excavators, it would have been sur- prising to Mr. Shaughnessy 1if the building had been able to stand. Considerable has been said about the water in the basement. Scveral claim that the basement is really a quicksand and that the foundations under the cribs were washed out by the water tnat flows through the sand. Coroner Hawkins said that when the in- quests are held on the bodies he will have all of the evidence he can get, and if there is sufficient to warrant a criminal prosecu- | tion he will cause the arrest of the guilty room for a man’s body in the position de- | ach the dead man until after ebris and timbers are all out.

Repairs to the Fifth-Street Bulld- ing Apparently Without Legal Authority. Seven hours before the building on Fifth street came crashing down, burying be- neath its fatal weight nearly a score of inmates and passers-by, John McCluskey neath the building, and, as he states, ex- amined the work carefully. He says he found it resting upon ciibs, not needles as has been stated. *I would have been willing to sleep there,” said John Me- ‘Cluskty. “What the contractors may | have done after I leit of course I don’t know.

I examined the Fifth-street building all right Monday morning and it was ail safe and sound. Of course I don’t know what may have happened after that.” “Did you demand to see the under which the work was being McCluskey was asked. “Well,” he replied, “they had a permit from the Street Superintendent. They had to have that before they could tear up the sidewalk.” “Did you see this permit?” he was asked. McCiuskey admitted he hadn’t seen the permit, but it was the Sireet Superin- tendent’s duty to see that no sidewalks were torn up without a permit, and he supposed the Street Superintendent had done his duty. Then John McCluskey made a most re- markable statement. He said it was not the custom of Fire Wardens to demand permits for the mere replacing of a four- dation, even if it is within the fire limits. “If the foundation is insecure,” he said, We serve a notice upon them to repair it. “If they repair it without notice, we are glad of it and say nothing abont permits.”’ The Fire Warden seemed to be laboring under considerable doubt as to just when a permit was necessary. He finally ad- mitted that if the whole front of a building was to be torn off a permit would be es- sential, and in such a case he thought the Fire. Warden’s duty was 1o see that the owner or the contractor had one. ““If you saw such work in course of con- struction,’”” he was asked, “*would you de- mand to see the permit?” ‘“Well, if there was a permit,” he said, “‘we would honor it. We would see it in the vapers and then we would be noti- fied.” So McCluskey must have koown that there was no permit issued for the re- pairing of the building. In the General Orders of the Board of Supervisors the matter seems to have beea lucidly stated, and the befogged condition of the official minds on the subject seems rather uncalled for. The following is the section : Sec. 40. No wooden building within the fire limits shall be altered, changed or re- gau-ed without permission in writing, signed b} ermit one?” y & majority of the Fire Wardens, approved v a committee on Fire Department and the Mayor, which permit shall fully express the alterations, changes or repairs allowed, & copy of which shall be filed by the grantee, within twodays, in the office of the Chief Engineer and Fire Marshal; but no permit shall be given to increase the size of said building, ex- cept as provided for in this order. Another section provides that it shall be the duty of the Fire Wardens to see that the provisions of this order are car- instructed to make complaint to a” Po- lice Judge. e A NARROW ESCAPE. S.

Chief Sullivan stated last evening that no permit had been issued for the work being done to the building and that none was needed. | “Patting in a foundation,” he said, “is not such an alteration or repair as to re- quire a permit. It is only making the structure more safe, and no one can pre- vent them from doing that. Raising or lowering the building would require a permit, and in that case it would be the duty of the Fire Wardens to see that they had it.
