BARNES TO APPEAL!
NKW YOU1C. May 22 -William
M. lvlnii of oiinel for William
tlarnes announced this afternoon that
an appeal would bo taken from tlio
verdict of th Jury at Syracuse, which
found In favor of Theodore Hoose
velt In the trial of tho libel unit
brought by him ngalnst tlio former
pretldcnt.
Tho following statement was Is
sued at the same time by Mr. Dames:
"There Is nothing f can say re
garding tlio verdict of the Jury In,'
this matter except that when I
brought this action. I knew that the
accusation made by Mr. Roosevelt of
collusion, combination or even dicker,
between mo and Tammany Halt or
Mr. Murphy or any other democratic
agenecy, not only for any corrupt
purpose, but for any purpose, was
absolutely false.
"When I accepted the chairman
ship of the state committee lit Jan
uary. 1911, It was at the request ot
the membership of the commltteo nt
n tlmo when I had retired from po
litical llfo and when the republican
party was out of power In the state.
Ah chairman of that committee I
never attempted to build up any
machine nor to dictate nominations,
nor to act In accordance with tho Idea
which formerly hod prevailed with
regard to tho functions of this office.
Tho Jury declared that T had no causo
for action against Mr. Roosevelt
who charged mo with acts which I
did not commit, and therefore, tem
porarily, tho public may believe that
I wan guilty of what I did not do.
"Howox'or, the knowledge of the
completo rectitude of my conduct
must content me which, after all Is
tho only Important thing In llfo."
Mr. lvins dealt with tho purely
legal aspects of tho caso.
