MT. CLEMENs, Mich, June IL
Henry Ford was q witness to-day In his
suit against the Chicago Tribune in
which he claims $1,000. 900 damages on
an alleged libelous editorial. He was on
the stand less than half a minute, and
answered only two unimportant ques-
tons.
Mr. Ford sat through the morning
session and heard himself classed as a
rotten American" and a man totally
lacking in patriotism by Henry A. Wise
Wood OF. New York. who. on cross-exam-
nation conducted by Attorney Alfred
Lucking for the plaintiff, appeared more
bitter againset Mr.. Ford than he did on
direct examination. The bitter denunci-
alton of the witness against Mr.. Ford
caused the latter to flush deeply at
times, otherwise he appeared Indifferent
as the witness painted him as n selfish
and unpatSiouc man. The witness was
constantly engaged in a wordy duel with
the Ford counsel
Mr. Wood repeate his testimony OF
Wednes day when he said Mr.. Ford had
told him he would haul down the nag
from his factory, never to raise II again
as soon as the war was over. and de-
scribed the machinery of the Ford plant
which he said drove the men instead
Of the men driving the machinery. He
also said Mr. Ford told him that the IS
q day plan was not humanitaria nism,
but a good business investment.
shakes Hands With Ford.
When Mr.. Wood left the stand he
walked over to Mr.. Ford and shook his
hand, and some words and smiles passed
between the two.
Arguments between counsel got SO
heated at one time that Judge Tucker
told the attorneys their conduct was
'abomina DE-" Alfred Lucking apollo
gized gracefully, while Mr. Stevenson
commented with respectful facetiousness
on the fact that he thought the attorneys
were behaving much better than when
they met on home ground
The jurors were excused an hour early
and counsel engaged in the old argu-
ment as to how far the subject of pre-
paredness should be allowed to enter
into the case. This argument came up
over the attempt Of the defence to in
troduce in evidence Henry Ford's paci-
fist advertisement entitled Concerning
Preparedness" Mr.. Stevenson declared
that this advertisement showed Mr. Ford
was an enemy Of the Government be-
cause he was trying to tear down the
offences at critical time. Mr.. Luck
ing insisted that the advertisement was
a mere expression OF Mr.. Ford's belief.
uttered to his fellow citizens. and that It
came within the right OF free speech.
Judge Tucker expressed the opinion
that every man has a right to the legiti-
mate expression of his belief on any
subject, even b, IL, his belief, should be
that the President and the Congress
were wrong. but II the opinion was
one that was destructive of Government
anything Mr. Ford might have said on
one of those subjects could be intro
duced as showing what his attitude was
toward the Government.
