today by the appellate division of the su-

of the lower court in imposing $500 fine
against the Star company, publishers of

In defending the suit Clarence J.
Shearn had argued that a corporation,
having neither soul, conscience mind or
feeling. is incapable of entertaining a
mischievous and malicious intent, which
is an essential element in criminal LIBEL
The court held today that ut was once
thought that corporation could not
commit crime but by slow degrees
and following upon the extension Of the
practice Of organizing corporations for
the purpose of avoiding the penalties OF
alleged acts, the courts have reached a
different conclusion"
