Liberace's successful libel
suit against the columniSt
William Conner and the Lon
don Daily Mirror is as in
triguing to lawyers as it is
to the matrons whose heart
beats are quickened by the
glossy-haired pianist-albeit
for somewhat more technical
reasons. The ladies are main
ly concerned about the honor
and dignity of their idol and

fled by the trial courts de-
cision awarding him $22,500
in damages.
Lawyers on the other hand
followed the case avidly, be-
cause it involves one of the
uncertain areas in the law of
libel. Because English and
American law are so similar,
the decision has almost as
much significance here as it
does in Britain.
Libel is an offence that in
wolves any writing that false
ly Injuries the reputation Of
another. And there have been
many awards to litigantS who
have been described by such
unpleasant epithets as crook,
prostitute, skunk, communist
agitator, etc.
What is not so clear is the
use of innuendo and SUCCESS
ton, as in the Liberace case.
Columnist William Conner,
whose London Daily Mirror
column appears under the
pen name of Cassandra, has
described the entertainer as
"fruit-flavored," masculine,
feminine, and neuter." and
indicated that Liberace is AL
that he, she, or it can ever
want"
He also called Liberace
"scent-impregnated," a heap
of mother love" and described
him as "winking, staggering,
giggling and smuggling"
Liberace commended that
the columnist implied he
was a homosexual, therefore
holding him up to ridicule
and public disdain. Liberace
declared that he is not q ho-
moSexual. Cassandra denied
any intention of implying
homoSexuality to the pianist
and said that he was critical
of him because of the fam
boyant nature of his appear
ance, the actual spectacle Of
the man, and then because
of the cloying sickening ma
ture of what he was singing
