Million Dollar Suit Brings Out Little Evidence

Detroit. March 1o 1E0 - Henry Ford's opinions are yet to be un- covered in the sl,00o, 900 libel suit brought in federal court here 1y Aaron Sapiro.
 battery Of lawyers. on their feet at every attempt to lift tue lid for peep into the brain of the automobile manufacturer, have successfully blocked all questions
 Two facts about Ford were learned, however. in the few min utes his editor William J. Cam eronA was on the stand yesterday. IIe regards soviet Russia with a lenient eye while his weekly. the Dearborn Independent. is opposed to bolshevism.
 Do you ever hold any conter- ences with Mir. Ford?" asked Will Sapiro, and if so were the poli- cies of the paper discussed?" "Only In a most general way" replied Mir. Cameron. and I cant recall any discussions except when we have differed with him. For in stance. MT. Ford is against war and the paper is for preparedness. Ford also looks on the Russian people with a lenicnt eye and the Inde. pendent is opposed 10 bolshevism" |"
 Gallagher picked him up eagerly "You mean Mir. Ford is pro-sov- | let ?''
 T didn't say that Cameron corrected, T said he was more lenient.'
 Whenever Gallagher attempted to pin the editor down as 10 details of conferences with Ford. defense counsel became vociferous.
 It's the very core of the case protested Sapiro's attorney, but he was consistently overruled.
 Prior to 1924 were the Doar- born Independent and Mir. Ford in full accord with reference to the International ring of bankers?" asked plaintiff counsel. To which the defense objected and was sus- tained.
 Attorney Gallagher then said it would be necessary for the records of the publishing company to be brought into court before he could proceed and tho case was adjourn cd until Monday.
 The crowds that attempted to get into the court room yesterday broke all records. All semblance of order was lost in the pushing. pull ing and tanning.
 Cameron was placed on the stand Immediately after Senator Reed completed his opening statement It was expected Ford would take the stand himself Monday but the trial has moved so slowly he prob. ably will not be called before the latter part of the week. After Mr Cameron, r. D. Black, business manager of the Independent, tive witnesses who have not been named and Sapiro will testify.
