three rounds. but he'll get it no later
than the fourth" Brennan said here
today.
The Frenchman is a wonderful
boxer, but he's not rugged enough to
take the walIops that Dempsey is
bound to get over on him. Carpenter
is not a lot heavier than when he was
taking a Iacing from all the American
middleweights.
Eyes, Carpenter can punch, but I
don't believe he can hit a whole lot
harder than l can. In our last fight,
I hit Dempsey square on the jaw three
times with every ounce of strength l
had and he didn't go down. 1 had
him groggy in the third round, but he
came right back"

NOTHING Of FUNDS,
SAYS DETROIT AIDE
Lawyer Tells Probers Friends
Financed Campaign and Sena-
tor ignorant of Expense.

Senator Newberry was never con-
suited or informed about any financial
aspect of his campaign, Paul II. King,
Detroit lawyer and Newberry's cam
paign manager, testified today before
Senate committee investigating
Henry Ford's charges that large
sums were employed corruptly in
Newberry's election.
81 never discussed finances with
Senator Newberry," King said. when
ever l talked with him during the
campaign our discussion as to what
was the best thing to do was con-
fined to general matters of policy"
How was IL you never mentioned
money to Senator Newberry?' Sem
ator Pomerene, Democrat, of Ohio, in
quired.
"The financing OF the campaign was
taken care of by Senator Newberrys
friends at Detroit" King answered.
When i decided what was a good
thing to do to further his campaign
spared no expense. The question of
expense never entered my mind once
we decided a certain thing would be
good for his campaign"
who supplied most of the
money!" Senator Pomerene pursued.
John S. Newberry, the Senator's
brother, supplied most of it,. for
saw the checks" King replied.
King said it was necessary to
spend large sunni for publicity in
order to get Senator Newberry be-
fore the people of Michigan as well
as Mr.. Ford.
MIR. Ford" he continued. was
the best advertised man in the
world. not excepting the German
kaiser himself. and we had to get
busy to see IL Senator Newberry
couldn't get some publicity himself.
l regarded all the charges of our
use of money when our attention
was first directed to them as a nat
ural phase of a hot political cam
paign.
King admitted communications fire.
quently passed between Senator New
berry and himself during the cam
paign, but insisted none OF them ever
related to finances, despite efforts by
Alfred Lucking. of Ford's counsel, to
show that Newberry knew how his
campaign was being financed. Luck
ing was unable to shake Kings dec
laration that Newberry knew nothing
of the financial end" OF his cam
paicn,
King said Newberry often offered
suggestions for newspaper publicity
and more than once proposed the
widespread use of editorial comment
from newspapers favorable to him
("ammunition against the Hearst
Wilson candidate, Mr.. FordO.
you had plenty of ammunition, in
GLIDING money, to carry out Senator

asked. You spread your publicity in
about all OF Michigan's POI county

ruffled by the Ford attorneys cross
