Show Rebutting a Libel. John D. Rockefeller, talking to a Cleveland clergyman, said one day, with a whimsical but rather sad smile: "From the stories that are told about my love of money and my disregard disre-gard for humanity you'd think I was some such moneter as the criminal of the anecdote. "A judge once said to a terrible criminal : " 'And you actually had the heart to murder this poor man for a matter of 50 cents!' " 'Well, your honor,' said the criminal, crim-inal, with an injured-innocence air, 'well, your honor, what do you expect? ex-pect? Fifty cents here and fifty cents there it soon mounts up.' " |
