PACKERS FIGHT.
Pleas in Abatement in Meat Trust
Cases Ailege Illegal Presence in

80 NO. @sr# Jury # 4
Chicago, Sept. 20.-By pleas in abate-l
ment attorneys representing the sew
enteen packers and other persons in.
dicted by the federal grand jury on
charge of conspiring in a trust to mon
opollze the meat business, attacked the
position of the government. The attack
WAS made against the impaneling Of
;the jury; alleged improper service of a
summons on John Murray, n of the
Jurors, unlawful secrecy at the time
the jury was drawn from the box;
unlawful presence of a ~stenographer in
the jury room during the hearing and
1.-THE subsequent writing of the short
hand notes; that the indictment was
rendered i'll the eastern district of the
state of Illinois, although HI jury
which found the indictment was sitting
lin the northern district Of the Illinois
district.
The plea, which is very lengthy,
was filed with District Attorney Morri-
son. after an all days conference be-
tween Attorney John S. Miller, general
counsel for the packers, and a number
or associate counsel in the case. There
We're no court proceedings and the plea
has not yet been properly filed with the
clerk of the district court, but this will
be done.
The main ground upon which the de-
PENDANTS stand in their plea is the pres
,ence of John Murray on the jury. 1t
lis their claim that the jury was drawn
from the box prior to March 8, at
which time a law redistricting the
northern district of Illinois went into
effect.
Previous to this Kankakee county,
the home of John Murray, was in the
northern district of Illinois. BY the
terms of the new law this county was
placed in the eastern division of the
northern district and therefore not
within the jurisdiction of the court.
TO substantiate the allegation tina the
jury was illegal and incompetent be-
aus of Murray's presence, it is de-
clared in the plea that Murray was
served on March 8, a few days after
the enactment of the law moving
Kankakee county from this division, by
a deputy marshal of another division OF
the district.

UNCORk ANOTHER
UGLY SCANDAL and AL
Clerk in Public Health and Ma,
rine Hospital Service Is
a Crater.
HE coNFEssEs 1T ALL
Has Secured $4,000 Within tho Fas,
Two Years by Manipulating
Vouchers in Connection with
His Department.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Secret service
officers today arrested James w. Boyd,
clerk in the public health and marine
hospital service, for manipulating
vouchers pertaining to the business of
his office, by which he is said to have
secured in the last two years over
$4,000. When confronted with the
charge Boyd confessed.
1t was Boyd's duty to prepare bills
for the approval of the surgeon gen.
eral, and when checks We're signed
they We're delivered to him for mall
ing to persons for whom intended. It
is charged that he manipulated the
bills by erasing the dates and amounts
of duplicates left in the office and that
he secured the money on the checks
by indorsing On them the, names of
the firms to which they We're issued.
The alleged defalcation has been in
progress for the past three years, but
Boyd was not suspected until a recent
illness compelled him to BE absent and
made it necessary for someone else to
assume his duties. When his desk
was opened a umbe of suspicious
documents We're found. This led to an
investigation, with the result that the
cases were placed in the hands Of the
secret service operatives, who made
the arrest. Property belonging to
Boyd valued at about $4,000 has been
seized.
Boyd a been in the public health
service for about twelve years and
county, N. Y. He was well known
about town, and especially so because
of his pronounced fondness for auto

of $1,SOO a year. His family is said TO
