SENSATION CAUSED BY HIS
APPEARANCE IN PERSON
In Closing for Government He Says
"Immunity" Would Cripple Fed
eral Prosecution for Twenty
Years to Come.

Chicago, Mar. 19.--Attorney Gener-
al William Moody commenced the
closing arguments for the government
today in the hearing of the immunity
pleas advanced by the packers. The
court room was packed to the doors
with local attorneys anxious to hear
the argument of the attorney general.
In opening his argument he declared
That the eyes of the whole people of
the United States were directed to the
court room I'm which the present hear
ing Is being held and asserted that
the government Is far too much i'm
earnest i'm the present case to pursue,
as the attorneys for the packers have
ihtimated 1t is pursuing. senseless
creation of the law. He declared tha.
II wrong had been committed the gov
crnment was seeking the punishment.
not of n corporation, but of the living,
breathing, human beings who commit
ed the wrong, The government and
people of the United States. he said.
would be satisfied with nothing less
than that He declared that his APP
pearanee at the bar of the court was
unusual and almost unprecedented,
but the law gave him the right to APP
pear and after much deliberation he
believed 1t to be his duty to appear.
The justification for his action, he said
would be found not only in the inn
pOrtance of the present case, but in
the fact that II immunity be conferred
upon the defendants on the ground
upon which 1t has been claimed, II
would overthrow the legal interpreta-
tions of the government for almost
twenty years and would especially
cripple the government in its at
tempts to enforce the laws of the
land.
Mr.. Moody said in part:
These defendants do not say here
that they are not guilty. but they dc
say guilty or not, that each of them
has received pardon. 1t is the claim
of each one of these defendants sepa-
rately that he Is to have a pardon and
upon each one OF them rests the bur
den of proof They cannot dump al
of the evidence and all of their names
into basket and then claim immuni.
