$75,000 damages
against Strasshurger
called excessive
On Friday. Judge Harold G.
Knight, of the Montgomery County
Court of Common Pleas, condemned
his own handling of a case.
He failed to give proper instruc-tions
of a jury, he admitted, in an
opinion written for the three-man
court .setting aside the $7:1.000 libel
verdict won last March by Chief of
Police George Bausewine. of Norris-town.
from Ralph Beaver Strass-burger.
wealthy Norrlstown pub-lisher.
The full court ordered the award
stricken out as excessive after sit-ting
en banc to hear an appeal for
a retrial.
After describing the verdict as
one in which the Jury ■must have
been swayed more by pasalon and
prejudice" than a desire to compen-sate
the plaintiff fairly. Knight
added
"We are also of the opinion that
the instructions of the trail judge
on the question of damages wei- .n
adequate The' jury should have
been instructed that the verdict for
punitive damages should be meas-ured
by the standard of the least
culpable, and that punitive dam-ages
should bear some reasonable
relation to the actual damt
fered
"The failure to give these instruc-tions
to the jury no doubt contribu-ted
to the excessive verdict."
Bausewine accused Strassburger
and his firm, the NorrLstown Herald.
Inc. publishers of the Norrlstown
Times Herald, of libeling him m five
articles printed in the newspaper In
June. July and September 1&42. He
Claimed he was held up ,.
elate of gangsters and criminals,
and was called a gauleiter." He for-a
