FILE PLEA IN ABATEMENT.
Packers object to Secrecy in Drawn
of Grand Jury.


Chicago, Sept. 21.-A plea in abate-
ment has been filed by the packers
indicted in the United States district
court on a charge OF conspiracy to
monopolize the meat industry. The
plea is not supported by affidavits. It
is signed by the. defendants and their
attorneys.
1t is said that the main question to
be raised when the plea is finally
taken before Judge will be concern
ing the secrecy surrounding the draw.
ing of the grand jury. 1t Is argued
that grand jury under the constitu'
tional law shah be drawn in public
This Is construed to mean that any
person who feels that he may be In
vestigated by the jury may be present
and see the names. drawn from the
box and know who the persons are.
This is declared to be the constitu-
tional right of every citizen and was
so contemplated by congress when the
act was passed. 1t is charged In the
plea that the date of the drawing was
kept q profound secret and the pack
ers were unable to learn who had
been selected to sit on their case, al.
though the government had an oppor-
tunity to investigate each man whose
name had been drawn.
Four men connected with the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Packing
company, named in indictments charg-
Ing them with accepting railroad re-
bates, are now In Chicago. They
have been notified to appear before
Judge Humphrey to plead to the in.
dictment.
