FORD ON STAND
FOR FIFTH DAY
Called AS a Witness Again in
Million Dollar
( Suit
BIZ Associated Press.

-
MOUNT CLEMENS, Michigan,
July 1S.-A statement that one third
of the record of the testimony of
Henry Ford in the latter's libel suit
against the Chicago Tribune has been
again taken up by the objection of
counsel for Mr.. Ford and the re-
sultant arguments were made to
Judge Tucker at the opening of court
today. Alfred Lucking, senior coun-
sci for Mr.. Ford, took an exception
remarking hat the same could be
said of Tribune counsel when wit
nesses for the plaintiff were being
heard.
/, Mr.. Ford took the stand for his
fifth day as a witness, but was tenn
porarily excused and Weymouth Kirk
land, Tribune lawyer, took the stand
and was examined by his colleague,
Elliot G. Stevenson. Both lawyers
held copies of the report of testimony
of 'eneral Weaver on coast defense
befoA the military affairs committee
of cong less in 1916. The purpose was
to rerfe the statement made in Mr..
ForS.,f anti-preparedness advertise
ment quoting General Weaver as say
Ing that the coast defense system was
adequate.
The Tribune lawyer. by following
General Weaver's testimony, further
than the advertisement did, showed
that General Weaver said that the
coast guns were models of 1890 and
would be unable to return the fire of
modern navy guns.
