(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Senator James A. Reed finally arrived today-the thirteenth day of his cross-examination of Aaron Sapiro-at the greatest of the “conspiracies” Henry Ford’s “Dearborn Independent” and Ford’s defenders in this libel suit charge to Mr. Sapiro.
This is his organization of the American Tobacco Growers, commencing with the Kentucky Growers of Burley tobacco.
Forty-two thousand pages of type-written words-a rough total of 10,500,000 words-confront the already weary jury in this trial.
This is the estimated volume of the 293 depositions which are to be read into the record. However, they will not be read until Ford has been called as a witness, until the long expected climax of the case has come and gone.
Mr. Sapiro, it appears, will be on the stand all next week and Mr. Ford will not appear until the next week. For it is ascertained now that Senator Reed does not expect to end the cross-examination this week, which is a day short because of the court’s agreement to adjourn this afternoon.
