Abstract: Motivated by a recent paper of Gabai on the Whitehead contractible 3-manifold, we investigate contractible manifolds $M^n$ which decompose or split as $M^n=Acu{p}_{C}B$ where $A,B,Capproxmathbb{R}^n$ or $A,B,Capproxmathbb{B}^n$. Of particular interest to us is the case $n=4.$ Our main results exhibit large collections of $4$-manifolds that split in this manner.
