slightest indication Of what the ulti-
mate decision would be. He reviewed
the case at length in all its bearings,
cited all the essential facts which had

artificial persons, and the jury will
End in favor of the government as far
as the corporations are concerned

the individuals are concerned"
Immediately following the dismissal

met with a storm Of protests from the
attorneys of the packers. who insisted
that they would be unable to prepare

pected that the total number of wit
nesses in this trial, when it begins
