Harrell, and the summons was served today against Carl Goerch and his State, weekly magazine, alleging falsehood and defamation, and claiming damages for the humiliation and wounds caus ed thereby. slbie is done to make the lives of vuw w a. rwcuv, •rtlcie by Mr. Ooerch In wbicb he humorously describes the dogs which he says Miss Harrell owns. In the cotoplsint the plaintlft reproduces the article and without saying with particularity what sections are false and defamatory, declares “The said *Qrdi and articles are false and de famatory, and held the plaintiff up to rtdksule, shame and contempt, and wan unlawfully, wrongfully and. maliciously written and pub fished by the defendant of and con cerning the plaintiff." Via Harrell reproducing the which appeared un “8he had to dogs as - picks UP the part read tnft: "And she probably would have If the neighbors hadn't strenuously. As a result Harrell of Hender foroed to get rid of aH bar pets, and she's gone up to to study law. she mtlsenshlp of Hen objected to her living In the with to dogs, Miss Sltsa beth Harrell has left town and has •dm to Georgetown, District of Columbia, to study tow. of the dogs have to a fMend In Wel don. the two othars—for soma un known reason were left behind, and taken la charge by the police. . Harrell is around M years old. She has been a resident of Hen derson many years and is reported to be wen fixed financially, it to said that at one tone she attended the torn* school with Irena Castle, the famous danoer. Mrs. Castle—as you may know—to Very fond of oats, to It that everything pos-1 cbm nappy ana contented, she is personally interested In several cat' hospitals and homes. "It la believed that Miss Harrell got her Ideas from Miss Castle. Not being particularly fond of cats. Miss Harrell decided to bestow her affec tions upon dogs. She owns a fairly large home In Henderson and, as she Uvea there all by herself, she decided that while she was at It, , she might Just as well flU up the house with canines. Several years ago she had five or six dogs. Then the number Jumped to 30. One of her favorites was ‘Shag,’ a large animal of dubious ancestry. About a month ago, somebody poisoned Shag, and Miss Harrell raised a terrible fuss about it. She did her best to find out who had committed such a dastardly tf.t, but she was unable to do so. Not being satis fied with a mere 30 dogs, she con tinued to add to the number stead ily. It didn't make any difference to her what kind of dogs there were Just so long as they were dogs. Whenever she saw a stray dog she adopted him, or her, as the case might be. The number Jumped to 30, then to 40, and finally to 49." The article then goes into details as to the dogs, represents them as happy and given to barking On a grand scale. This moved the neigh bors, Mr. Ooerch says, to complain. The city attorney could find no law agatost housing dogs In the way It was set forth Miss Harrell kept them. The city attorney suggested that complaint might be based on the issue of sanitation. The upshot was that the dogs had to be moved. The State articles says 47 of them were sent to a friend in Weldon. 1 Permanent Substitute For Bankhead Bill Is Proposed Of s. c.
