that town, in which slander is alleged
and damages in the amount of $4,000

ber Of the school board, and further
that the clergyman had said from the
pulpit: 1T (the schoolhouse) was so
unsanitary that any self-respecting
American pig would commit suicide
before spending an hour in that <piEN
sty," and aso that the sci1oolhouse WAS
"aI microbe infested shack and a pest
hole"
The complaint goes on to recite 9TH
er and many alleged Statements OF
Father Carroll which it is set forth re-
hected upon the character OF the conn
plainant In his answer Father Car
roll admits delivering the sermon and
denies that the statements he made
are malicious and false, and further
said that he had belief that the allega-
tions he had made were true, chat the
building used for a schoolholise was
dirty, filthy and unfit for such use,
and that it was located in a Disagree
able place.
