Bryan testifies under duress in libel suit in New York
William Jennings Bryan protested his New York appearance for a libel action tied to Greek allegations about battleships Idaho and Mississippi. He said he testified under duress to avoid contempt and admitted limited knowledge of gunfire control secrets, noting the Navy and State Departments handled matters without his personal knowledge. The case stems from a Greek newspaper statement involving Petros P. Tatanis and a dispute with former Greek minister Concord. In a separate ruling New Hampshire courts said only one sixth of Mary Baker Eddy’s fund may be taxed by Concord, New Hampshire, with Brookline Massachusetts disputing tax portions.
