Accepts $500 Note and Retraction from Sup McColom
Says Report Indiscreet.

schools IN Manchester and South
Windsor, and Miss Barry, who was
formerly employed as teacher in one
of the schools of South Windsor, sued
for $4,000 damages alleging that Mr..
McCollom slandered her in a commu-
nication which he addressed to Ralph
NJ. Grant. secretary of the board OF
school visitors of South Windsor. This
communication said derogatory things
about Miss Barry's personal cleanl-
ness, her ability as a teacher, and her
principles and character.
In the trial of the suit the defend
ant maintained that on or about May
g. 1907, in strict accord with his duty
as such superintendent of schools, lac
made a written report to Ralph M.
Grant, as secretary of the board OF
school visitors of the town of South
Windsor, and in said report the de-
PENDANT gave what he then believed to
be an accurate, truthful, unpreju-
diced account of the conditions in the
several schools of said town of South
Windsor, including therein and as a
part of said report the words regard
ing the plaintiff.
The defense also tried to establish
the fact that the report was a privi-
legged communication and intended
only for the secretary of the school
board and was circulated by Miss
Barrys friends and not by the defen-
dant. The jury brought in verdict
of $4,000 damages for Miss Barry.
The case was appealed and the SUI
preme court found errors in Judge
Shumways rulings, and charge, and
sent the case back for a new trial
Mr.. McCollom, who is no longer SUI
perintendent of schools, still lives IN
Manchester and conducts a. poultry
farm. He said that the case had all
ready cost him about $4,000 and il
was advisable to cease the litigation.
