TUNNEY FIGHTS
VERBAL BOUT

NEW YORK, Nov. 7 G.N.sJ .
Gene Tunney flared UP under
cross-examination and countered
sharply today, his third day on
the witness stand in the trial Of
Timothy y. Mara's suit against
him for approximately $500,000.
In the heat of one verbal ex-
change, the retired heavyweight
champion, exclaimed:
''What are you trying to do?
I won't let you force me to ad-
NIT things that are not In &C
cordance with the facts"
His interrogation, Silver-haired
Martin W.. Littleton, veteran of
the New York bar, eyed the hand
some witness cody and retorted:
':Now, don't You try to tell me
what TO do. II you do you will
make = mistake, for once In
your life."
Gene surveyed the lawyer super
ciliously and did not answer. So
far Tunney had been an admira-
bly, poised witness. He had been
gesticulating somewhat languidly
and easily holding his own as he
testified in an accent that was q
cross between that Of q Harvard
man and an oxford scholar,
