Findings of fact and conclusions of law after a non-jury trial in a defamation case; he credited the plaintiff’s witnesses, held that accusing a union-side lawyer of Mafia ties and of being a government informant was slander per se, awarded $10,000 in compensatory damages, and declined punitive damages.
