Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by
Mr. Justice Chidsey:
I am in accord with the majority of this Court that the court below was free to arrive at its own conclusion as to whether a new trial should be granted. However, I disagree with the conclusion it reached. I carefully reviewed the record on the first appeal and again on the present appeal. I find as much to be said for and against the credibility of the witnesses for the defendants as for and against the credibility of the witnesses for the plaintiffs. Since the matter turned on the question of credibility, to my mind the case was one peculiarly for the jury, and its determination should be upheld.
