I dissent, on the ground that the article is libelous p&r se, and that it is also susceptible of the meaning ascribed to it in the innuendo; *312and I think the innuendo does not limit the plaintiff in his. claims, for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in the ease of Morrison v. Smith (83 App. Div. 206).
