NO new TRIAL
SOUGHT INROW
Defense In Harlingen Park
Case Wins On instruct
ed Verdict

No application for Q new trial had
been filed Friday by the plaintiffs
in the Harlingen park site row fol-
lowing an instructed verdict against
them at noon in the civil district
court here.
The instructed verdict in favor of
the defendants. the Harlingen city
commission and several others, cul-
minated four day trial that devel-
oped little sensational matter. Law
yers stated Friday that teh plaintiffs
had two days in which to seek new
trial.
The plaintiffs. j. D. Hill and 9TH
ers, alleged that too high a price
had been paid by the Harlingen city
commission TO rthe Arroyo Colorado
park site. This. they held, consti-
tuted legal fraud on the Harlingen
tax payers. The city commission
has issued warrants for $4,000 for
the purcf -3e of the parksite and an
other parcel of land to be used for
a park. airport and other municipal
enterprises.
Much of the testimony in the
case revolved about the valuation of
the land purchased and another
park site on the other side of Harl-
ingen. Many comparisons were
made between the two sites as to
& 'sirability, vaule and availability.
There were two groups, each of
which favored the purchase of one
of the ties and was opposed to the
other.
Numerous prominent Harlingen
citizens were placed on the stand
during the trial, including Sam
Bolts, mayor, and members Of the
city commission.
Each of thccc testified that they
thounght the price paid was a fair
one and declared that they acted
in good faith in the purchase of the
lands.

ond test and finished In a tie for second
with Charles Whitcombe.
Duncan's game today showed none OF
the carelessness which has marked his
play of late. His mastery of all his
clubs, including the putter, was inn
pressive, and he was never OF the
fairway
Mitchell's golf was reminiscent Of his
old familiar devastating moods. He
was driving farther than ever, although
he missed few holeable puts.
Archie Compson suffered from some
erratic shots in the morning, when he
went around in n, but he did the after
