Of

Mr James M. Hood, Master Mariner, who is suing the Associated Press, Windsor House, for damages for alleged libel, denied at the Supreme Court this morning that he was not so much interested in clearing his reputation as in acquiring an award of damages.

Tho action is being heard before Mr Justice James Wicks and a Special Jury of six men and a woman.
