Seek New Trial In Local Damage Suit
Taken under advisement by Pima County Superior Court Judge Evo DeConcini was a request for a new trial in the damage case brought by Mrs Hortense Hernandez. A jury awarded costs and 7 609 to Hernandez after a May 4 to June 13 trial following an explosion at the Associated garage on Stone avenue and Alameda street in 1942 that killed Gilbert Teller. The plaintiff says gas leaks from the utility mains caused the blast while the defense cites gasoline tank leakage and fumes and an electric fan in the basement. A stay of execution was granted until ruling and for 30 days after the decision if denied, as gas company counsel seeks a new trial.
