Attributing to another, in his absence, a fault of which one knows him to be innocent. It contains a twofold malice, arising first from the damage unjustly done our neighbor's good name and secondly from the lie. Slander differs from detraction inasmuch as it is the imputing gf a misdeed never committed, while detraction reveals an actual but hidden fault.
