ment and the jury fixed the nominal
damages in such cases.
Editor Newett took hack in open
court all the things that he had said
about Roosevelt and told Judge, Jury
and everybody else that he was sorry
he had said them.
Therefore, the colonel got all the
satisfaction 'he wanted and six cents
besides the nominal damages he
aoked 'for after Newett .retracted and
apologized on the witness stand.
On the advice of his lawyers, who
had been Informed that the colonel did
not want money damages, he made up
his mind to say he was mistaken and
that he regretted his publication of
stories damaging to Colonel Roose
velt's reputation.
Mr. Newett read a long statement
In whidh he set forth that he had
heard many stories about Colonel
Roosevelt's addiction to liquor; that
he was loath at first to be'ieve the
stories and that finally he had come
to believe that they were true How
ever, he said, he was convinced by the
testimony of the reputable gentlemen
who had testified in the colonel's be
half that the stories were false. There
fore he desired to retract his utter
ances and to say that he regretted
having published false T&porta.
