Rolla Herald Monks-Alsup Case The case of Monks vs. Alsup, et al, for $60,000 damage for defamation of
character, was tried last week, on change of venue from Howell county. Monks sued for $60,000 as a slight
equivalent for the damage he claimed to have been done his character. The jury couldn’t see that Monks ever had
any character to be damaged, but awarded him the enormous amount of one cent,
as damages for any character he might have had, which they failed to
discover. Monks certainly should be
satisfied by this time as to his “character.” |
