Summary

Summary: Toney retained Lincoln and sued Sconce in an action of slander, seeking $5,000 in damages. Toney charged that Sconce publicly stated that she had committed fornication with Whitcomb, after hearing the bed "rattling and jiggling," and seeing a disheveled Toney, red-faced and in an excited state, emerge from her room at 3:00 a.m. Sconce consented to a $5,000 judgment, of which Toney remitted all but $50.
