necessarily be a little higher. the
city will receive benefits far greater

issue for the deep-water channel
will be voted upon favorably." Frank

elaboration. no indication that a
verdict was in sight drifted from
the jury in the contested Mary z.

The cast was given the jury 9
p. m. Thursday following brilliant
closing argument by Volney Taylor
for the proponents and Thomas
Blanton, e~x-solon, for the contest

"A sharp turn in the case came
when Blanton alleged that Mary
T. bldChcTDy COu4Q lOb WIllc ait
consequently could not have sign
ed the will In question. The pro-
ronents have not produced one
witness who ever saw Aunt Mary
write a line" Blanton shouted to
the jury.
Here Taylor interrupted. and
Blanton protested against the in
terruption. Taylor challenged the
statement. mentioning specifically
one witness whom he said testified
to having zen the woman sign the
will.
V0Iuminous Testimony
Blanton produced a long line OF
witnesses who asserted they die
not believe Mary E. Blackery was
Of sound mind at the time the viii

duced witnesses who testified jus

inous cases ever tried In Cameron
county. Witnesses and deposition:
from West Texas, East Texas
Oklahoma and Arkansas were pro-
duced by both sides.
