Another interesting development OF
the day was a conference between
John H. Marble, attorney of the sena-

Mr.. Funk. Both refused to disclose
what took place at the meeting. 1t
was admitted, however, by members of
the Investigating committee that the
charges against Mr.. Funk were not a
new matter to them and that they
were keeping a close watch on devel-
opments. From another source it was
learned that since the Washington cpl

possession of facts relating to work of
detectives who were shadowing Mr..

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Evidence tending
TO show that the mysterious John and
Josephine Henning," named in a suit
for alienation Of affections against
Clarence s. Funk. are but figureheads
in plot to besmirch the character OF
the International Harvester company
manager was unearthed yesterday by
. detectives in the latter's employ.
Both Mr.. Funk and E. A. Bancroft,
his attorney. charge that the $4,000
suit Is an aftermath of Mr.. Funk's tes-
timony before the Lorimer Investigate
ing committee. For months, they say,
they have had knowledge of a conspir
acy to ruin Mr. Funk's good name be-
cause he testified that Edward Hines
had solicited $4,000 from the harves-
ter company to be contributed toward
Mr.. Lorimer's campaign fund.
FOLLOWED BY DETECTIVES.
Since ii became known that he was
to testify concerning the alleged con-
versation with Mr. Hines. Mr. Funk
says he has been under constant espi-
onage by private detectives. These de-
tectives not only bounded his wife and
members OF his family, business assc-
Ciates and neighbors. but they have Of

been mentioned by the detectives who

him, according TO Mr.. Funk's friends,
and also the names of Dorothy Brue

the latter being a 15-year-old west
side girl.

Following the incident in Washing
ton, when he had several of the detec-
tives "shadowing" him taken before
the senatorial committee, Mr.. Funk in
turn put detectives to work, and they
have kept him informed as to the pro-
gress of the plot.
In proof that the alienation suit is
a plot engineered by the Lorimer inter |
ests, l have but to cite the fact that |

EXPERT TESTIMONY.
A Case Where Two InfalIibIes Held
Conflicting Opinions.

A Case Where Two InfalIibles Held
Conflicting Opinions.
The fallibility of expert testimony,
which under stress of clever cross ex-
animation tends to the too decided
statement, is amusingly revealed in
Science and the Criminal" a book by
@. Ainsworth Mitchell, the head OF the
inspection bureau of Scotland Yard.
Nethercliffe, who was the chief
handwriting expert in the days when
the witty Lord Brampton was at the
bar, had such faith in his methods
that finally he came to believe that he
could not make a mistake.
In a case in which he WAS under
cross examination by Lord Brampton.
then Mr.. Hawkins, Nethercliffe had
claimed that his system gave infaIhble
results and had further stated that his
son, whom he had trained, made use
of the same system
Then" said the willy advocate,
your son, working on your system, is
as good as you areT
YES" replied the father, with some
pride in his voice, he is
'That is to say, he, too, Is infa11i-
ble?"
YES" again replied the witness.
"Well, now, Mr.. Nethercliffe, was
there ever a case in which you and
your son appeared on opposite sidesf"
Nethercliffe tried to evade the queS-
tion. which, he complained, was an
unfair one, but on being pressed was
forced TO admit that on a certain &C.
casion he had given evidence on one
side and his son upon the other.
Swift came the unanswerable retort:
How comes II, then. that two in
faIlibles appeared on opposite sidesF'
