INDICTMENT NOT RETURNED.
Attorneys for Packers TO Demand I'M
mediate Trial for ConnOrs.
(By the Associated Press


Chicago, March 31.-Threatened in
dictments against persons connected
with the big meat packing industries
failed to materialize today. Indica-
tions now are that the grand jury for
the present at least will be content
with listening to a continuation of
evidence. Instead of further indict-
ments being returned, it is said to-
night that the attorneys for the pack
ers will force the issue in the indict-
ment already returned against the L.
j. Connors, general superintendent for
Armour & Company. AS the matter
has stood Connors. who was indicted
on a charge of attempting to influence
J. Edward Shields, witness before
the jury will not be given a trial UNI
til the July term of court when other
indictments, if any are returned, will
be tried. Tonight, however, it was
learned by Federal officials that At
torney Urion, general counsel for Ar
mour & Company, is preparing to ap
pear before some United States dis
trict judge with a petition demanding
an immediate trial for qonnors. Mr..
Connors is said to be preparing to
stand on constitutional provision,
which declares that a citizen should
have a trial within a reasonable time.
If the petition of Attorney Urion
should be granted, it will apparently
be necessary to summon petit jury,
recall Shields a sthe main witness and
present many of the alleged facts in
open court which Shields testified to
in the grand jury room.
Eight witnesses were heard by the
grand jury today and the proceedings
seemed to be running with a great
deal more smoothness than heretofore.
Five of the eight witnesses were men
employed by Swift & Company in the
Swift Chicago plant.
