Plaintiff in 100000 Libel Suit Be.
comes Nettled at Tribune coun-
sel's Questions.

Mount clemens, Mich, July 18.--In
moment Of petulence while on the
witness stand Henry Ford, plaintiff in
S1,000,000 libel suit against the Chi
cago Tribune, admitted he was "an
| ignorant idealist" subsequently he
reversed his statement.
This was one of the alleged libelous
charges made against him in the Trib-
une editorial. Attorney Elliott G.
Stevenson for the Tribune had been
asking questions to establish, if posi-
Bile, that Mr.. Ford, as a matter of fact,
was ignorant. The witness said that
he made the admission merely to stop
the examination Later when formal
ly asked to admit that he was an zig
norant idealist," he declined to do
| so.
During questions concerning pre-
paredness, Nj. lord broke in with the
admission that ne was a murderer"
In the course of the examination Mr..
Ford defined a traitor as lone who
works against the government !" an
idealist as one who helps others to
make a profit" and, evidently with
Arnold Bennett vaguely in mind, de-
scribed Benedict Arnold as "a writer"
In the course Of one of the Della
vigne articles, for which Mr.. Ford
takes. fun responsibility, the term bal
ly-hoo" was used Mr.. Ford, being
questioned hazarded the guess that it

show or exhibition" said he.
at means a barker" put In Alfred
Lucking Of counsel for Mr.. Ford
'IIave it your way, Mr.. Lucking,"
said Mr.. Stevenson; its all the
same"
Mr.. Stevenson precipitated torrent
of objections by asking the meaning
of the word traitor" in the course OF
which Mr. Ford interposed:
'Tll admit I'm an ignorant ideal
iSt.'"
''Why, Mr.. Ford" said Mr.. Steven
son In surprise, eff you admit that. I
shall not have to ask you any more
questions. along that line"
"Ill admit it if II win close this
talk 1t Is for the jury TO decide, any
way"
"But if you admit it, there will be
nothing for the jury to decide. The
admission settles it,"
PREDATORY to this outburst by the
witness, who was plainly nettled by
the examination, Mr.. Stevenson ex-
planned to the court:
"Your honor, the alleged libelous ed
ltorial in the Tribune referred TO Mr.
Ford as an ignorant idealist.' The
questions are to show that he is IN
fact, ignorant, and, if he is an ideal
list and doesn't know the meaning of
commonly used words, he is plainly an
ignorant idealist."
1t was at this point that the manu-
facturer burst out with his angry adj
mission, which. despite efforts of his
lawyers. he repeated.
