67 So. 577 | Ala. | 1915
Appellant sued appellee in an action of libel for that appellee falsely, maliciously, and with intent to defame her, published of and concerning her in a book known as “Selma City Directory” that appellant was a colored person, etc. The proof was that on page 180 of the directory printed by appellee appellant’s name was printed with an asterisk before it. On page 87 of the same book it was shown that an asterisk before a name denoted that the person named was colored. Appellant’s name was printed in the same column with a dozen or more Joneses, some of whom were properly designated as colored. Appellant is of pure Caucasian descent.
Affirmed.
