Investigation Ends Dis
astrous|y for Connors.
Shields Also Has Session of Tfrcl
Hours Wi.h Grand Jury.

Chicago, March .S.-The federal
grand jury investigating the alleged
peer trust. returned an Indictment. to-
night. against Thomas j. COnnorS,
general superintendent for Armour a.
Co.
The charge is interfering with d wit
ness summoned to appear before the
grand jury. Mr.. ConEors, who is one

room. After considera bic delay. the
prisoner was released on Il $4,000 bond.
The Indictment alleges that John +.

offices to transact business While III
Chicago and furnished the use of a
private telegraph wire i'll the Office Oh
the packing company.
Another allegation is that Shields
was entertained by COnnors and that
ConHors suggested the proposed wit
ness should testify favoribly for Ar
n.our & Co. and not tell all that wit
ness knew concerning the matter under
investigation. The second count of the
Indictment charges that Mr.. Connors
did not limit his attempt at influence
ing witnesses to Mr.. Shields. but that
other. witnesses who have not as yet
appeared in Chicago have been APP
preached by Connors and attempts
made to influence them as to the ma
ture of testimony to be given.
When the special ghrand jury con-
vened, last week, Shields was one of
the first witnesses to appear. He had
testified before a grand jury iii New
York and is said to have diNulged
facts which led the federal officials to
believe to be in possession of many
other details concerning subjects I'M

men were detailed to watch him close

The sur, eillanCe reached a climax
yesterday. when one of the secret SER
vice men submitted Il report to his SUI
periors. Today. Shields was before the
grand jury for three hours.
The section of the statutes under
which the indictment is drawn, pro-
vides that any person who interferes
with a witness shall be subjected to "A

drew King of this town, who was
brought back from Quincy, Mass. on
March 81. to answer to charge of
manslaughter in connection with the

ing to offer any evidence in his own

suit of a fall. Some days later the

his wife. AS the result of the inter-
view. Mr.. King was arrested in Quin-

without extradition proceedings. but
