THE N. o. ITEM.
(From The N. o. Item.)


Robert G. Robertson, formerly book
keeper for the Carruth Lumber COM
pany, of Coral, Miss, entered suit in
the civil district court here Monday
morning against The Item, alleging
libel through publication concerning
his indictment for embezzlement and
other alleged offenses, and claiming
damages of $4,000.
He asks $4,000 for injured feelings
and mental anguish" and $4,000 to
punish The Item for wandering to a
vicious and depraved taste for person
al, sensational and derogative news"
The article in question stated that
Robertson had been indicted for en-
bezzling the money of his employers
and that he had confessed it to them.
He admits the indictment but denies
the confession, adding that the indict.
ment has since been dismissed.
Mr.. Robertson has been writing to
The Item for some time asking money
under threat of suit. His suit follows
a refusal of The Item to pay him $500
or any sum whatever, for his alleged
injuries.
The Item will reply to the suit that
each and all the allegations in the
publication are true in both form and
in substance.
