By United Press MUNCIE, Ind., Oct. 17.—George Dale, local publisher, today announced he will take appeal from a sentence of five months In prison and a SSOO fine for criminal libel against George Rodger, a cigar dealer. After less than two hours’ deliberation a circuit court Jury last night found Dale guilty on a grand Jury indictment charging libel.
