WHERE ROOSEVELT
t lZ'
This is the Marquette county court house in Marquette, Mich., where
Judge Flannigan heard Colonel Roosevelt's $10,000 libel case against
George A. Newett.
T. fl. GETS VERDICT
SIX CENTS DAMAGES GIVEN THE
COLONEL IN MICHIGAN LI
BEL ACTION.
EDITOR GIVES UP THE FIGHT
Newett Admitted That He Could Not
Find a Witness Who Knew That
Mr. Roosevelt Was Ever
Drunk. .
Marquette, Mich. Theodore Roose-
celt has won his vindication. He has
proved he Is not a drunkard and,
never has been a drunkard and he
has proved it as conclusively as ever
a case was proved in court
More than that, he has proved as
nearly as a man may, by his intimates
of a lifetime, that he never has been
even slightly under the Influence of
liquor and that he is abstemious as a
man may be and still not be a tee
totaler. Colonel Roosevelt's libel suit
against George A. Newett, the Ish-
peming editor, ended abruptly.
Newett surrendered and withdrew
the charge of his paper that Roose
velt "gets drunk and that not Infre
quently." In. a long statement read
In open court, he admitted he had
combed tho country, but had found
not one single witness who could
testify he had seen Colonel Roosevelt
take liquors to excess. To all Intents
and purposes he threw himself upon
Colonel Roosevelt's mercy.
And then Colonel Roosevelt, unwill
ing to assess upon Newett the heavy
damages he could have claimed,
arose in court and declared he had
achieved his object, disproved the
tale that did him such injury In the
last campaign and asked the court
to direct a verdict in his favor for
nominal damages only which in
Michigan means six cents.
The six cents were paid and the
colonel will settle his own costs of
close of $10,000.
It ended as predicted, when 'Newett
finished reading his manuscript and
left the stand. Colonel Roosevelt
arose. The statement he made was
short, terse, to the point and deliv
ered with his firm Jaw thrust toward
the Judge upon the bench.
"In view of the statement of the
defendant," he said, "I ask the court
to Instruct the Jury that I desire only
'nominal damages. I did not go int-
this suit for money. 1 did not come
Into it for any vindictive purpose.
"As this court has said, I made my
reputation an Issue, because I wished
once and for all during my lifetime
thoroughly and comprehensively to
deal with these slanders.
"Never again will it be possible for
any man in good faith to repeat them.
I have accomplished my purpose and
I am content"
