AaBEEF TRUST" PLEA
Indicted Packers Claim ]. R. Garfield
Promised Them Immunity.
IF FURNISHED EVIDENCE WANTED.
Claim the Facts Given the Commits
SiOner Are Now Being Used
in Their Prosecution in
Federal Court.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Complete immun-
ity from prosecution under the pend
ing Indictment returned by the feder-
al grand jury several months ago is
claimed by Mr., ], Ogden Armour and
the other defendant packers and agents
charged with being promoters OF the
so-called "beef trust" in an additional
plea in bar, filed late Thursday after
noon, by Attorney John s. Miller, the
packers representative. The new plea
which came as complete surprise to
the government, sets up as facts that
when Commissioner Garfield OF the
department of commerce and labor in
vestigated the beef business, he prom
iscd the packers that whatever testi-
mony they gave without being under
oath or whatever documentary evil
dence they voluntarily produced the
defendants should have the same rights
indemnities and immunities as If they
had testified under, oath and compul-
sion. Under this plea Attorney Miller
hopes to establish the fact that there
was an agreement between the packers
and the government that they should
testify and produce evidence without
being subpoenaed or the oath being ad-
ministered, but that as far as immunity
was concerned, 1t should be considered
as If they had been subpoenaed and
took the OATH.
The allegation Of an agreement be-
tween Secretary Garfield and the pack
ers was surprise to District Attorney
| Morrison and Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Pagin and 1t was said Thursday
night that Secretary Garfield has been
asked concerning exactly what occur
red during the investigation into the
beef business.
The plea alleges that the testimony
and evidence. it was understood, should
not be used by the department OF JUS
tice in any way as basis for any. pros
ecution or proceedings against the de-
PENDANTS. Then, 1t is declared, witt
the assurance of the commissioner
the defendants appeared before hin
and told concerning the things wished
to be inquired about and which are nov
incorporated in the Indictment. Not
withstanding the promises Of the gov
eminent, 1t is declared, the testimon!
and evidence produced by the defen
dants were given to the departmn
of Justice and finally to the local dis
trict attorney and that this informa
ton has been used and is now bein
used in the prosecution of the pack
ers, All these allegations the defen
dants proclaim themselves ready t
verify.
