as he asked the court to postpone
both testimony and argument on
the revised declarotion.
William Henry Gallagher of 8a-
Piro's counsel explained that the re-
vision was entirely in the interests
of simplicity and in accordance with
suggestions of the court. The sec-
tions eliminated were largely repe-
titions.
The court ordered a recess until 2
p m. today.
This delay will postpone definitely
until next week the scheduled testi-
mony of Henry Ford.
The theory of the revised reclara-
tion was mainly to change the meth-
od of presentation so as to make the
issues more clear in outaine. It first
sets up certain contentions -that
Aaron Saptro was • lawyer engaged
in reputable practice; that he repre-
sented certain cooperative associa-
tions and that Henry Ford’s Dear-
born Independent charged him with
being the representative- of "a band
of Jews". Exploiting American farm-
ers; that it charged him with gain-
ing exorbitant pronte and improper
fees from the organizations he re-
presented: charged him with being
a member o fa ring ' which sought
complete domination - of American
agriculture: and charged him with
fostering bolshevism, and commun-
ism to further the ends of himself
and the alleged "international ring
of Jews"
Each of these charges is denied
