1Opinion of the Court
TAYLOR, Judge.
Defendants seek to set aside a verdict in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $1,335,-000 as compensatory damages in a libel action based upon an erroneous paragraph in the News Journal which stated that at a demonstration of an air-powered car which occurred approximately two years before the challenged newspaper article the car had failed to run. The major portion of the challenged article correctly reported that plaintiff had been indicted on charges of attempting by fraudulent means to obtain financing for the development of a fuel-saving device for an automobile.
