.NEWBERRY MAN is ILL
Paul King, Campaign Mana er,
CoIIapSes on Stand.
Physician Says Chief Defense Witness
Is Complete Physical Wreck =
May Not Recover
For a Year.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 10
Paul King, Newberry campaign man
ager, made vain attempt to resume
testimony in the Newberry elections
conspiracy trial. Suffering from eff
fects of a nervous collapse incurred
last Tuesday, King was exhausted aft
er five minutes effort to recollect
happenings of the 1918 senatorial cam
paign. Court was suspended while
two physicians and Mrs. King attend
ed him.
King started his testimony a week
ago today. He was under direct ex-
animation for portions of four court
days, then collapsed during noon
recess. He had been confined to his
room since Tuesday, and left his bed
Thursday for the first time.
King walked slowly to the witness
stand, grasping at tables and sup
ported by James O. Murfin, chief coun-
sci for the defense. He was pale and
breathing with difficulty.
II haven't enough breath to answer
more than yes or mo- at first" he
explained to Allen V. Rees of Hough-
ton, attorney for Myron Sherwood,
Marquette, when he was asked to de-
scribe his first meeting with that de-
PENDANT.
King said that early in May, 1918.
Sherwood declined to do more than
handle nominating petitions because
of business pressure. About two
months later Sherwood found time 10
take charge Of the campaign in Mar
quette City, but at no time was any
thing said ahoHt campaign finances,
either as 70 receipts or expenses, King
said.
After FIVE minutes of this effort,
King was leaning on the table in a
state of obvious exhaustion. Frank
c. Daley, assistant attorney general,
stepped to the bench, conferred with
Judge Sessions, and then with Martin
w. Littleton, and the judge ordered
a recess.
DIR. James B. Bradley, former audi
tor general of Michigan and one of
the defendants, was one of the physir
clans who attended King in court. He
said the chief defense witness was "a
complete physical wreck" and doubt
ed whether he would fully recover
from his attack for year.
