325 S.E.2d 673 (1985)

Larry Warren GIBBY v. Jack MURPHY, Robert Anderson, and Orkin Exterminating Co., Inc.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

February 19, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lloyd T. Kelso, Gastonia, for plaintiff-appellee and cross-appellant.

Robert N. Burris, Charlotte, for defendants-appellants and cross-appellees.


ARNOLD, Judge.

Defendants' Appeal

The gravamen of the defendants' appeal is that the trial court erred by denying their motion for a directed verdict as to the issue of slander. They base their argument upon the contentions that there was insufficient evidence of publication of any slanderous statement, that there was insufficient evidence of damages. Defendants also contend the court erred by misstating the evidence in its summary to the jury.
