Mr. 9eki* Lnm OtUtf right.
The Supreme Court’s decision
in the famous Gattis vs. Kilgo
case is thit the majority of the
court ia of the opinion that then
is no evidence of maHce as to
Duke and no evidence that Kit
go took pert in the publication
of bis speech .in newspapers.
The judges are equally divided
as to whether there is any evi
dence that Kilgo was actuated
by malice In printing the pam
phlets containing his speech.
Two judges hold them is no ev
idence which requires that the
case be submitted to a jury, the
other two bolding that than is
such evidence: this being the
division, the judgment in tbs
non-snit in toe court below
stands. Judge Clark who was
Involved in the row at Us iaeip
iency, did not ait and this left
the court equally divided. Our
readers sue familiar with this
cast. Rev. T. J. GstUs, a min
ister, brought auk for slander
against Dr. Kilgo, president of
Trinity College, and certain
members of the board of trustee*
on aecount of certain strictnnres
made on him by Dr. Kilgo ia a
speech before tha board, which
was published. The case was
twice tried in Granville county
and each time Gattis was award
ed damages, at one time $30,
000. Twice the Supreme Court
gave a new trial. The third
trial came oa in Wake Superior
Court and after hearing a part of
the evidence Judge Moore
granted a morion to non-snit
Gattis. This time the plaintiff
appealed and by the division of
the court, as stated above, be
loses. This ends a very sensa
tional case’ which has been
pending for several years.
