ECONOMOPOULOS V. A.G. POLLARD CO.
Sup. Jud. Ct of Mass., 218 Ma 294, 105 N.E. 896 (1914)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a judgment of the District Court of
Massachusetts, which entered judgment in favor of Pollard (D) in Economopoulos' (P) action
for defamation.
FACTS: Economopoulos (P) was accused of stealing a handkerchief by the agent of Pollard
Co. (D). A clerk told P of the accusation in English and the statement was repeated to P in
Greek by a Greek clerk of D. There was no evidence that anybody but P was present when
Carrier spoke to P in English. There was no evidence that anyone understood the Greek
statement either. P brought a defamation action against D for statements allegedly made
regarding accusations of larceny on P's part. The verdict was given to D and P appealed.
