Facts and Judge Humphrey viii Decide the Legal
Questions involved.

Chicago, Jan. 28.-That the question
of the indicted packers immunity from
prosecution must be tried on the facts
became a practical certainty today
when the last effort of the opposing at
torneys to reach an agreement by
which the matter might be expedited
failed. The hearing that now becomes
necessary will involve the taking Of
a large volume Of testimony and will
last for perhaps three weeks. Had an
agreement been reached a plea for the
defendant packers would have been
made to which the government would
have filed a demurrer. On this demur-
rer the attorneys would have argued
before Judge Humphrey with no testi-
mOny and without jury.
