Michigan Editor Makes Frank
RetIaction in Court,
COLONEL WAVES DAMAGES

Not Go Into the Case for Money,
but for Vindication.

Marquette, Mich, June 2.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt won his libel suit

damages after the defendant had ut
tered retraction the jury awarded
the nominal amount of 6 cents, pro-

have to pay his own expenses.
Judge Flanagan instructed the
Jury to bring in a verdict for the
plaintiff, which it did without leav-
ing the box.
The climax of the case came like
the conclusion OF drama. When the
plaintiff rested the defendant took the
stand and declared that the publica-
ton of the article was in good faith
and that he believed at the time that
the statements made therein were
true. After hearing the witnesses for

taken and he would make no defense
outside of his statement to the court
Colonel Roosevelt then secured per-
mission to address the court, saying:
"Your honor, in view of the state.
ment of the defendant, ask the court
to instruct the jury that I desire only
nominal damages. I did not go into
this case for money. I did not go
into it for any vindictive purpose. I
