247 Wis. 391; 1945 Wisc. LEXIS 188
Rosenberry

Schneider v. Journal-Times Co.

Opinion of the Court

Rosenberry, C. J.

The complaint in this action in all material particulars is substantially the same as the complaint in the case of Schneider v. Kenosha News Publishing Co., ante, p. 382, 20 N. W. (2d) 568. The plaintiff demurred to the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the answer and also to the second sentence of paragraph 2 of the answer.

The fourth and fifth paragraphs are substantially the same as paragraphs 3 and 4 of the answer of the Kenosha News Publishing Company. What was said in that case applifes in this case with equal force, so far as these defenses are concerned.

The demurrer to the second sentence of paragraph 2 was likewise properly overruled. Sec. 263.17, Stats., provides that the plaintiff may demur to any alleged defense in the answer. It does not authorize a demurrer to a sentence taken out of its context in an affirmative defense.

By the Court. — The order overruling the demurrer is affirmed.
