the men disclosed what the governor
had told them.
To combat this and prove that John
Cownie was the aggressor, the de-
Tense claimed before the jury that
John Cownie wrote the first letter that
appeared in the public press, and in
that letter all the charges made against
him by the governor were disclosed.
Courts View.
That is the big question before the
jury as expressed by counsel and court,
and it was the question the jurymen
will first decide before proceeding to
declare the governor guilty or inno-
cent.
The court brought the case down to
this question by his instructions to the
jury. He held that the governor in
writing the letter he did about John
Cownie was acting under the privilege
of self defense, but that in his retort
he did not have the privilege of be-
coming the aggressOr and saying
libelous things about Cownie. 1t was
the finding of the court that the COVER
nor had the right to reply to all the
statements made by Cownie, but
could not, in retort, state additional
charges against Cownie which he
could not prove to be true. and which
were libelous.
Instructions as to Privilege.
The instructions of the court as to
the governors privilege in replying to
Cownie were as follows:
In this case it is conceded by the
state and the defendant: that the de-
PENDANT, B. r. Carroll, is and for some
time past has been governor of the
state of Iowa: that the prosecuting
witness John Cownie, was for some
years prior to the 9Th day of April
1910, a member of the board of con-
troll Of the state of Iowa: that shortly
prior TO said 9Th day of April, 1910,
there were conferences and commune
cations between the said B. f. Carroll
and said John Cownie relative to the
resignation or suspension Of the said
John Cownie from said Office Of mem
Der of the board of control; that on or
about the 23rd day of May, 1910. the
said B. F. Carroll, being then can
didate for denomination by the repub-
lican party for the office of governor Of
the state of Iowa, at primary cleo
ton soon thereafter to be held, the
said John Cownie caused to be pub
lished in the Register and Leader. a
daily newspaper published in Des
Moines, Ia, certain open letter,
identified as exhibit 8 and offered and
introduced in evidence on this trial,
giving his version Of the facts and cir
cumstances pertaining to his resigna-
ton from the said board of control;
and that thereafter and on or about
the oath day of May 1910, the said B.
F. Carroll caused to be published in

evidence in this trial, giving his yer
sion of the facts and circumstances
pertaining to the resignation of the
said John Cownie from said board o.
control and that the article com
planned of, a portion of which is sci
forth in the Indictment, was caused tC

answer to the attack made by the said
John Cownie, in his said open letter
upon the character and official conduct
of the defendant
In relation to the publishing of said
article by the defendant you are in
structed as matter of law, that such
publication by the defendant of such
article, on the occasion and in the
manner which 1t was published, was
privileged occasion, and before you
would be warranted in finding the de
PENDANT guilty you must find, beyond
a reasonable doubt, that the defend.
ant, in the publication OF such article
was actuated by malice. with design
to causelessly or wantonly injure the
said John Cownie, and the burden Of
proof is upon the state to establish
beyond such reasonable doubt, that

Governors Latitude.
The instructions as to the limit the
law put upon Governor Carroll is max
ing his reply to Cownie were as fol
lows:
1t is claimed by the defendant that
in publishing said article, exhibit 2, in
the Des Moines Capital on May "a
1910, he was acting in defense of his
own character and replying to the at.
tack made upon him by the said John
Cownie in said open letter. exhibit 8
In this connection you are instructed
that everyone has right to defend his
character against false aspersions, and
when attacked in a newspaper may
rebut the charges, and retort upon his
assailant when such retort is neces.
sary part of his defense or fairly
arises out of charges made against
him, and in so doing, and while SO
doing, cannot be held guilty of libel.
if, however, in making such reply OF
retort the defendant exceed such right
of self defense, and himself becomes
the aggressor, and while SO acting as
such aggressor, maliciously libeled the
said John Cownie, then. for such libel
so committed, the defendant would
not be exempt by reason of his legal
right of self defense.
The courts instructions on malice
were as follows:
Before you can convict the defend
ant in this case you must find from the
evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt,
that. in publishing the article charged
in the Indictment, he acted through
malice.
BY malice as here used, is meant
actual malice; and actual malice"
means malice in fact: that is, that the
defendant was actuated by i'll will in
what he did and said, with design to
causelessly or wantonly injnre the
said John Cownie.
