BITTERNESS MANIFESTED IN
THE FUNK TRIAL

p THE FUNK TRIAL
The Criminal Court becomes more
turbulent each hour as the Funk con-
spiracy case progresses. Following
the charge made by Attorney Daniel
Donohue, one of the defendants, that
juror had been to see him and in
formed him that efforts are being
made by the prosecution to ''get" the
defendants, other revelations were
expected to follow.
The juror in question, E. H. Leidy,
1902 Park avenue, denied Donohue's
accusation that he called on the law
yer Thursday night and told him of
an alleged conspiracy on the part of
the prosecution. Donohue also said
the man offered to hold out for the
defense if chosen on the jury. The
man was released on his own recog-
nizance by Judge Pam, but will ap-
pear in court again this afternoon.
A petition to have him adjudged
guilty of contempt of court may be
filed this afternoon.
Never in the history of Cook coun-
ty courts has trial contained more
bitterness than this. Attorneys for
the defense make the accusations
that the trust newspapers are seek
ing to control the opinion of the
jurors on account of the power and
influence of Clarence S. Funk and
the International Harvester Trust.
On the other hand, the attorneys,
representing the complainant, con-
tinue to bring in the names of Will
liam Lorimer and Edward Hines.
