Greensboro, May 11—By consent decree the case of T.J. Murphy, former mayor here, against the City of Greensboro, in an effort to have declared void a $50,000 paving contract between the city and Murray Construction Company, was wiped off the Guilford Superior Court docket here today.
In the first litigation Mr. Murphy lost by ruling of Judge P.A. McElroy, but won decision of State Supreme Court, which sent the case back for trial. Mr. Murphy won a jury verdict which Judge T. B. Finley set aside and the case was docketed again for trial. Today’s actin ends it.
Mr. Murphy claimed the contract was not legally entered into.
