In defending the suit, Clarence X.
Shcarn has argued that corporation'

nor feeling, is incapable of entertain
ing q mischievous and malicious In
tont. which is an essential element In
criminal libel"
The court held that at was once
thought that corporation could not
commit a crime. but by slow degrees,
and following upon the extension of
the practise of organizing corporations
for the purpose of avoiding the penal
ties of alleged acts. the courts have
reached n different conclusion"

that Mr.. Rockefeller had originated

The question to be decided is whether
the frozen delight containing gelatine

harm the product. but on the other
hand adds to Its nutrition. Therefore.
