In the Chicago office was Lawyer Aaron Sapiro, organizer of farmers' co-operative associations, who had a $1,000,000 libel suit pending against Henry Ford (TIME, March 21, 28).

The judge and the lawyers at the Sapiro-Ford trial (see p. 23), Mr. Ford's family and intimates, several doctors and employes at the hospital knew that the richest man in the U.
