Detroit, March 21. Wide avenues
of interest in Aaron Sapiro's $1,000.-;
000 libel suit against Henry Ford!
converged Sunday night upon the
motor manufacturer's possible ap
pearance this week as a witness.
About Friday was the best guoss
of counsel Sunday night as to when
Ford, central figure In American in
dustrial life, would take the witness
stand for the second time in his life.
Eight years ago he sued the Chicago
Tribune and secured a verdict of 6
cents for libel.
Ahead of Ford In the witness chair
will be F. D. Black, business manager
of the Dearborn Independent, pos
sibly Spiro himself, and W. J. Cam
eron, Ford's editor, who was on the
stand when court adjourned Friday.
It was the Ford-owned Independent
which in 1924 and 1925 printed a
series of articles which led to the
suit.
Sapiro Asks Million.
Sapiro, a Chicago attorney at law,
who admittedly never plowed a fur
row or hoed a row of corn, claimed
that his reputation as an organizer
of farmers' co-operative organiza
tions was damaged to the extent of
$1,000,000.
Sapiro was accused in the articles
of connection with an internation
Jawish conspiracy to control agricul
ture, of seeking to spread commun
ism and the principles of "red" Rus
sia and of exploiting the American
farmer to the extent of nearly $1,
000,000 in fees.
Several nationally known figures
mentioned by the Independent in con
nection with the alleged conspiracy
to control agriculture, will not be
called as witnesses,' C. B. Longley of
defense counsel announced Sunday
night. They are: Bernard Baruch,
member of the ward industries board
under the late President Woodrow
Wilson; Albert D. Lasker, former
chairman of the United States ship
ping board; Eugene Meyer, jr., for
mer managing director of the War
Finance corporation, and Robert W.
Bingham, publisher of the Louisville
Courier-Journal and Louisville Times.
Testimony Halted.
Cameron's testimony was halted
when William Henry Gallagher at
torney for Sapiro, demanded that 8
copy of every issue of the Dearborn
Independent printed since it was tak
en over Dy the Fora ramiiy De
brought Into court. He also demand
ed all records of the publishing com
pany for that period.

Dr. Martin D. Reihart, 70, veteri
nary surgeon, 1302 South Twenty
seventh street, Omaha, died suddenly
at a local hospital Sunday morning
after a heart attack.
Dr. Reihart was an old-timer In
South Omaha, having come there in
1889 from Cass county in a covered
wagon. He was a lover of animals
and especially horses and in the days
of the horse and buggy his horses
were attractions on the South Side.
His love for animals became so
great that in order to be of service
to them he became a veterinary sur
geon in 1911 and was active in his
chosen profession until his death.
His son, Dr. E. O. Reihart. is also a
veterinary surgeon.
