Frame v. Sewing-Machine Co. , 31 F. 704 ( 1887 )

Butler, J.

The motion must be denied. On fuller examination, I am entirely satisfied the plaintiff has not presented a case which entitles him to recover. The burden is on him to prove malice,,and also want of probable canse. In my judgment, he has not produced 'any reliable evidence of either. I have looked carefully through the case, and the impression made at the trial has deepened into conviction. I need not repeat what I then suggested in explanation of my views.
