'of counsel for William Barnes. an
nounced this afternoon that an appeal
would be taken from the verdict Of
the jury at Syracuse, which found in
favor of Theodore Roosevelt in the
trial of the libel suit brought by Mr..
Barnes against the former president.
The following statement was issued
" the same time by MIR. Barnes:
There is nothing that I can say re-
garding the verdict of the iury in
this matter except that when
brought the action ! knew that the
accusation made by Mr. Roosevelt of
collusion, combination or oven decker,
between me and Tammany Hall or
Mr. MURPHY or any other democratic
agency, not only for any corrupt pur-
pose, Dut Tor any purpose, was abs0-
lutely false

cnlhe nor to dictate nominations, nor

which formerly had prevailed with
regard TO the functions of this office.

However, the knowledge of the

must content me--whicn, after all

MI ivins' statement dealt with the
purely legal aspects of the case. At
Yer saying that the verdict was en-
tFeiy unexpected, Mr.. Wins asserted
mat counsel for Mr.. Barnes were
satlsfied from the beginning that the
attitude of the court toward libel
was not in conformity with prece-
ueht and had noted as precedents
several cases which he mentions.
from the outset the statement
sets forth, there was a difference OF
opinion between court and counsel
Tor The plaintiff as to the relation OF
lhese precedents to the case. The
result was that numerous objections
taken as to the admission and rejec-
tioh or the evidence. and the entire
cnlfse To the Jury was excepted to,
