E. Gause, administrator for William Elmei Edwards, vs City of Southport, Leila Smith Torgerson and Phillip Allen was compromised Thursday afternoon after three days of trial before Judge Luther A, Hamilton. Under terms of the compromise agreement the City oi Southport is to pay the sum ol $1,500.00 to the plaintiff; Phillip Allen pays $500.00; and Leila Smith Torgerson and her successor, Joseph R. Smith, III, are tc pay the sum of $2000.00. Costs oi the case are to paid one-third by Phillip Allen and two-thirds by City of Southport. Through the terms of the judg ment the board of aldermen nas been instructed to make necessary arrangements to borrow or to otherwise raise money for the immediate settlement of the amount of damage. Attorney Frink has been appointed commissioner to arrange for the sale of the Torgerson property unless payment of the $2000.00 is made within a period of 30 days. Judgi Hamilton also ordered the sum of $2000.00 to be paid to the lawyers as their fee in the case. Administrator's fees and other incidental expenses of settling the estate must come from the other 2000.00, the balance of which will be paid out by the clerk of court to the next of kin to the late Edwards youth.
