HENRY FORD IN FIGHTING MOOD.
Progress of Libel Suit. CHARGES AGAINST OPPONENTS. By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received March 21, 10.45 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 21. Mr Henry Ford's counsel has announced to Detroit that when Mr Ford takes the witness stand, in the libel suit, he will testify that there is a band of Sapiro’s friends, which set out to exploit the farmers of this country, and that later they planned to exploit the wheat growers of the world, by obtaining control of the output at the source. Some idea of the expensiveness and widespread character of the suit can be gathered from the fact that the defence has 40,000 typewritten sheets of depositions, containing ten million words, taken down by a squad of lawyers, who have literally combed the country for a year, seeking persons who will support the charges. The defence also has one hundred oral witnesses, who will be summoned at Mr Ford’s expense from every part of the United States.
