Many prominent Norwegians in San

protest which are to be drawn up. The
resolutions are to be supplemented by

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Clarence S.
Funk. formerly general manager OF
the International Harvester company,
was called to the witness stand at the
resumption of the conspiracy trial In
voIving Attorney Daniel Bonahue and
Isaac Steifel today. This was the
first opportunity given Funk to tell
his story of the attempt to discredit
him in the $4,000 alienation suit by
Joseph C. Henning. which failed.
A bitter legal fight trial waged
over the question of permitting Funk
to bring into testimony the names of
william Lorimer and Edward Hines.
who. according to Funk's statement
before the legislative investigation of
Lorimer's election to the United States
senate. had spent 100000 to put
Lorimer across"
Judge Pam ruled the names of Lori
mer and Hines should go into records
because conversations with Donahue
contained the names. After winning
this point the states attorney cut the
examination of Funk short and an
nounced before the noon adjournment
that the examination was concluded.
The last question asked Funk by
Assistant States Attorney Bell was:
Did you at any time in~-the Grand
