cover damages for libel, the jury are
to determine whether the words de-
clared on are libelous or not 1t is
gravely urged that to write and pub
lish Of man that he is liar is not
actionable at all. 1t is difficult for us
to imagine what words more fully ex-
pose q man to public contempt than to
publish him as being liar. Mr..
Townshend, in his treatise on SANDER
and Libel (section I'D. declares that 1t
Is actionable to charge one In writing
with being villain. liar. rogue. rascal
or swindler. etc.
In the case of Hake ". Brames, the
Supreme Court of Indiana, was called
on to say whether q letter couched in
the following languages: IT was I'M
fortunate enough to have him (plain-
tiff in my employ at one time as "a
book-keeper He is a liar. 1 would
not believe him under oath"-was IL
belous. On demurrer to the complaint
1t was held that each of the three SEN
fences in the letter was libelous The
authorities cited which construe n pub
lication characterizing another as a
liar to be libelous and actionable, were
based on definition of libel" similar
to that found in our Code.
