Yale Professor Faces Slander Charge In Court
Professor Lawrence Mason of Yale English stood in Superior Court in New Haven on February 2 to defend a slander claim by Mrs. Andrew Ely, his boarding mistress. Ely alleged Mason accused her of stealing items from his room and refused to drop the matter when asked for an apology. Mason admitted missing small articles and blamed Ely, saying only she and her husband had access to the room. He maintained he did not call her a thief but acknowledged believing she took the items. The case was adjourned to continue tomorrow.
