GARFIELD ACTED IN BAD FAITH.
Packers Allowed Fullest Scrutiny on
Promise of Immunity.

Promise of Immunity.
Chicago, Jan. 31-That the Chicago
packers were promised immunity from
prosecution by Commissioner of Cor
porations James r. Garfield that un-
der this promise they consented to his
scrutiny of their books and private
records, and that after having enjoyed
the confidence of the packers while he
CLEANED the information, he showed
bad faith by turning the evidence
over to the department of justice for
criminal prosecution, was the testl-
mony presented by the defense yester-
day in the trial of the beef trust
case on the immunity pleas in the
United States district court.
Mr. Krauthoff not only told the jury
that Mr. Garfield had promised his
clients immunity in return for their
assistance in his investigation, but
declared that, with the understanding
he had with Mr.. Garfield, he had ad-
vised his clients to give him access to
theeir records.
The purport of the evidence all the
way through was designed to show
that the commissioner of corporations
had not acted in good faith, that he
had abused the confidence he pledged
himself to respec, and that he had dis
guised his real purpose in pledges OF
immunity.
