Charge Against conuors.

Charge Against Connors.
The indictment cha rges that John
Edward Shields of Brooklyn. a former
employe of Armour & Co. who testified
before the grand jury, was approached
favored and entertained by MI Con
nors, and specifically states that on
March p the Offense upon which Nj
COuuOTS was indicted occurred. 1t is
also charged that Shields was given the
use Of Armour & Co.'S offices at 20j
LaSalle street to transact his business
while in Chicago and also the use of
private telegraph wire in the Office of
the packing company Another allega-
ton is that Shields was entertained by
Counors and that COnnors suggested
to the proposed witness that he should
testify favorably 10 Armour & Co. and
not to tell all that he knew concerning
the matter under Investigation.
Second Count.
The second count of the Indictment
charges that Mr.. Connors did not limit
his attemot at influencing witnesses to
Mr.. Shields, but that other witnesses
who have not yet appeared in Chicago
have been approached by him and at
temnts made to influence them as to
the nature Of the testimony they would
give before the grand jurors.
When the special grand jury con-
NCned last week Shields was one of the
first Witnesses to appear He came to
Chicago from New York He had tcs-
titled before a grand jury sitting in
New York and there is said TO have
divuIged facts which led the federal
officials to believe him in possession of
many other details concerning the
question under consideration.
Witness Was Watched.
He was requested to come to Chicago
and the federal officials were instructed
TO watch the man closely Two men
were detailed to watch Shields. One Of
these secret service men obtained
Shields confidence and thus learned
facts which doubled the precautions Of
the government to prevent any of the
witnesses from being coached Shields
was followed by these detectives and it
was learned that he frequented the Of
fees of Armour & Co, having d. private
wire at his disposal and answering all
his private correspondence there Every
move of Shields was closely watched
The matter reached d climax yesterday
when ono of the secret service men
submitted a report to his superiors.
Today Shields was in the grand jury
room from o'clock to O'Clock.
The section of the statutes under
which the indictment was drawn pro-
vides that any person who interferes
with u witness shall hC subjected 70 a
fine of $500 or Imprisonment Tor three
months or both.
