BUTLER THREATENS NEWS AND OBSERVER AND EDITOR Announces Will Bring Criminal and Civil Actions Against Both For Libel NO RETRACTION, NO APOLOGY," REPLY Threat of Marion Butler I Be cause of Publication in News and Observer of Letter of Judge II. G. Ewart In Which He Denounced His Fellow Republican Two notices were received at this office yesterday, both com ing from Goldsboro by register ed mail, one to the News and Observer Publishing Company, the other to Edward E. Britton. the editor of the News and Ob server. The language of each is the same, and reads: NOTK K. Take not ire, that the undersigned in teuda to liriujc criminal action and also a eivil action against vou for damages for the libel upon him f.y you hr rr aon of your publication, id the edition of Punday morning. Mreh lt, liflH. of the daily Nfi ami Observer, of the following article: "Said arti.le a ..ppears on page two, rolunina one, two ami thrcr if suid edi tion and is entitled - : "Judge H. ii. Ewart Deaonnrea Batler."" "There are numerous statements in mid article which are nitlmut four. la !ion and ure false, but the following rtatemitita in said Mi. le are false and defamatory, to fit : "In the Asbeille Citizen of the Wth iost. aptiears an interview with 1 one Marion Holler, who so rue years ) ago misrepresented this State in the I'nited Mates Senate" "It needs nn answer in this State for the people of the rMaie. with nil regard te party, kaoss hi as to I liar, ingraft ad inave. "Self respecting Hcpuhlicana will be slow to support any policy, or party in any manner influenced by the arch traitor, Maru.u Butler" "This the 10th day of Mar. h. lWii MARION H1T1.KK. Ily W 6 (I'll R. it, in-. ii. Attorney" A Formality For Retraction. The foregoing is a formality provided by statute, giving a newspaper or an individual charged with the uttering of a libel 10 days notice before en tering suit for damages, in which it may publish "a full and fair correction, apology and retraction," and thus escape a judgment for any damages other than actual damages. "No" Is The Answer. The News and Observer and its editor have no correction to make in Judge H. G. Ewart's statement with regard to his fellow Republican. Nor hae the News and Observer and its editor any intention of offering either retraction or apology to Marion Butler.
