General Underwood Wins Libel Verdict for 25000
In Nashville circuit court General John C. Underwood won a libel verdict of 25000 against S. A. Cunningham editor of the Confederate Veteran. Underwood sought 50000 and leads the Confederate Memorial Association effort to raise funds for the Battle Abbey. The case stems from a Confederate Veteran publication accusing his character and conduct as a ranking officer. The Methodist Publishing House, printer of the Veteran, is a party to the suit.
