Tried To Justify His Implication

TRIED TO JUSTIFY HIS IMPLICATION

MANCHESTER'S BIG SLANDER SUIT TOOK TWO DAYS. Defendant was Found Guilty and has Appealed to the Circuit Court.

There was quite an exciting slander suit in Manchester, the first chapter of which was finished yesterday.

F. P. Maginn, an operator for the Lake Shore Railroad, had Horace E. Bowen, a broom manufacturer, arrested for slander. Maginn alleged that Bowen wrote in to the company asking them if they were in the habit of employing men who ran around after women, applying the same to Maginn.

Bowen tried to justify the truth of the implication by witnesses. But the jury found him guilty, and now Bowen has appealed to the circuit court. The trial in the justice court occupied two days.
