HARRY C. BARRICK, JR.,
: IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
: CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 04-2113 CIVIL TERM
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
COMPLAINT
William G. Wise, by his attorney, Kenneth F. Lewis, files
this Complaint and avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff, William G. Wise, resides at 315 E. Allen
Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17055.
2. Defendant, Harry C. Barrick, Jr., resides at 455
Center Road, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17241.
3. In addition to a personal, friendly relationship,
Plaintiff had Defendant had a business relationship going back to
1986, whereby Plaintiff would build engines for Defendant.
4. In 1999, Plaintiff began building a 3208 pulling
engine at the request of Defendant.
5. The agreed-upon price was approximately $8,500.00
(including labor). The final cost of the job, excluding special
parts that Defendant decided to add, was $8,582.09.
6. Defendant paid various payments to Plaintiff totaling
$4,215.00 in cash and merchandise toward the job.
7. Plaintiff would "front,, monies to purchase parts and
Defendant would reimburse him.
8. By the summer and fall of 2001, Defendant had
stopped reimbursing Plaintiff the monies he was spending for parts.
9. In November of 2001, Plaintiff told Defendant he
would finish the job, but only if Defendant paid what was owed.
10. On December 3, 2001, an agreement was reached
between the parties that Defendant would give Plaintiff a specified
enclosed trailer, while Plaintiff would accept as the full
$5,100.00 then due him, provided he got the trailer by the end of
the year.
11. At year's end, Defendant notified Plaintiff that
there was a delay in the manufacturing of the trailer and that he
would have it by January 20, 2002.
12. At the time of the discussion mentioned in paragraph
#11, the Defendant paid Plaintiff $1,000.00 "good faith,, money.
13. On January 20, 2002, when Plaintiff telephoned to
inquire as to the status of the enclosed trailer, Defendant
admitted he never ordered the trailer and demanded that Plaintiff
send him a billing statement.
14. Prior to January 20, 2002, Defendant had never once
questioned any of Plaintiff,s bills.
15. The work done by Plaintiff was "custom made" to
Defendant,s order. Plaintiff could not sell the engine (which is
in Defendant,s possession) item to a third party.
16. After Plaintiff sued Defendant at the District
Justice Office (the Honorable Gayle A. Elder) and Defendant filed
a counter-suit,, the parties entered into an agreement (copy
attached) whereby Defendant would pay Plaintiff all the monies due
except $1,300.00. The $1,300.00 would be held until Defendant
"confirms the engine starts and runs.,,
17. Plaintiff delivered the engine to Defendant. The
Defendant, before District Justice Elder, admitted the engine was
installed in the chassis and "ready to start.', The Defendant never
once argued or advised Plaintiff or the District Justice that the
engine did not work.
18. Defendant refused and continues to refuse to pay the
remaining $1,300.00 due.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests judgment in the amount of
$1,300.00, plus a Pennsylvania sales tax exemption form (or 6% tax
on the total value of the project); plus $107.50 filing fees and
such further relief as this Honorable Court deems just.

AMENDED COMPLAINT
W.W. Enterprises, by its attorney, Kenneth F. Lewis,
files this Complaint and avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff, W.W. Enterprises is a company owned solely
by William G. Wise. The address of both the company and Mr. Wise
is 315 E. Allen Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, PA 17055.
2. Defendant, Harry C. Barrick~, Jr., resides at 455
Center Road, Newville, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17241.
3. In addition to a personal, friendly relationship,
William Wise and Defendant had a business relationship going back
to 1986, whereby Mr. Wise would build engines for Defendant.
4. In 1999, Mr. Wise began building a 3208 pulling
engine at the request of Defendant.
5. The agreed-upon price was approximately $8,500.00
(including labor). The final cost of the job, excluding special
parts that Defendant decided to add, was $8,582.09.
6. Defendant made various payments to plaintiff totaling
$4,215.00 in cash and merchandise toward the job.
7. Plaintiff would "front" monies to purchase parts and
Defendant would reimburse him.
8. By the summer and fall of 2001, Defendant had
stopped reimbursing Plaintiff the monies he was spending for parts.
9. In November of 2001, Mr. Wise told Defendant he
would finish the job, but only if Defendant paid what was owed.
10. On December 3, 2001, an agreement was reached
between the parties that Defendant would give Plaintiff a specified
enclosed trailer, which Plaintiff would accept as the full
$5,100.00 then due him, provided he got the trailer by the end of
the year.
11. At year's end, Defendant notified Plaintiff there
was a delay in the manufacturing of the trailer and that he would
have it by January 20, 2002.
12. At the time of the discussion mentioned in paragraph
#11, the Defendant paid Plaintiff $1,000.00 "good faith" money.
13. On January 20, 2002, when Plaintiff telephoned to
inquire as to the status of the enclosed trailer, Defendant
admitted he never ordered the trailer and delmanded that Plaintiff
send him a billing statement.
14. Prior to January 20, 2002, Defendant had never once
questioned any of Plaintiff's bills.
15. The work done by Plaintiff 'was "custom made" to
Defendant's specifications. Plaintiff could[ not sell the engine
(which is in Defendant's possession) item to a third party.
16. After Plaintiff sued
Justice Office (the Honorable Gayle A.
a counter-suit, the parties entered
Defendant at the District
Elderll and Defendant filed
into an agreement (copy
attached) whereby Defendant would pay Plaintiff all the monies due
except $1,300.00. The $1,300.00 would be held until Defendant
"confirms the engine starts and runs."
17. Plaintiff delivered the engine to Defendant. The
Defendant, before District Justice Elder, admitted the engine was
installed in the chassis and "ready to start."' The Defendant never
once argued or advised Plaintiff or the District Justice that the
engine did not work.
18. Defendant refused and continues to refuse to pay the
remaining $1,300.00 due.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests judgment in the amount of
$1,300.00, plus a Pennsylvania sales tax exemption form (or 6% tax
on the total value of the project); plus $107.50 filing fees and
such further relief as this Honorable Court deems just.
