NAMES ARE LOST.
List Of 200 Government Witnesses Is
Missing.

Chicago, March 2.-The names of
200 with esses for the government were
demanded by Attorney Miller, who is
acting for the packers in the trial of
the immunity pleas when the case was
resumed today. A long and somewhat
excited argument followed, but Judge
Humphrey finally ruled that the gov
eminent should produce the names.
When the ruling was announced Dis
trict Attorney Morrison said:
I'VE have no such information in
our possession"
Judge Humphrey then ruled that a
search be made by the government for
the names and all correspondence re-
garding them.
District Attorney Morrison asked per-
mission to make an offer to prove Ger
tain facts by Special Agent Durand and
all of the attorneys gathered before the
court so that the jury could not hear
what was contained in the offer. The
offer was in substance that none of the
information turned over to the depart
ment of justice was secured from the
packers except that in one chapter Of
Commissioner Garfeld's report that
could have been obtained just as we'll
from the bureau of animal industry.
Judge Humphrey overruled this Of
