Edgar Q. werner Declares That His Business
Credit Has Been Injured.
Edgar 8. Werner, a printer and publisher
whose office is at 1Os East Sixteenth street, has
brought suit in the United States Circuit Court
against the Bradstreet Company to obtain
$780, 900 damages for an alleged libel said to
have been published in Bradstreet's Record.
After stating that he has a capital of $4,000
Werner says in his complaint that on July l,
1897, Bradstreet's Record published by signs
and characters known to 5000 subscribers in
the United States statements to the effect that
he was entitled to the smallest credit assiRnable
to q man Of business with a capital of $500, and
that bis character. ability. and circumstances
were such as to entitle him to no more than
In its answer, filed yesterday, the Bradstreet
Company makes a general denial, and says that
Bradstreet's Reports are loaned to subscribers
for their exclusive use; that Werner, as well as
all other persons engaged in any kind of bust
ness, Is subject to fair criticism and expression
of opinion as to his means and credit, and that
whatever IT has printed concerning the plain
aud was without malice, the. defendant
having reasonable grounds to believe that IL
was true. The answer denies that the defend
ant printed any figures. signs, or language, con-:
ycying the statements against Werner alleged
in the complaint or any libellous or defamatory
matter concerning the plaintiff.
The answer further states that the defendant
complaint that Werner might have, but he had
refused to give any information regarding the
amount of his means or the credit rating to
which he claims to be entitled.
