taking OF evidence will be finished TO
day with the hearing Of the testimony
of five employees Of Eastern packing
concerns. In all probability 1t is SAID
indictments will be voted Thursday
against both corporations and indiVid'
ual packers.
1t is generally conceded that the
government has shown by Its failure
to call any Of the heads Of the packing
houses to testify before the grand
Jury thereby granting immunity from
future criminal prosecution, that 1t
is the intention, II the facts warrant,
to ask the indictment Of individuals
as well as corporations.
1t is known that indictments charg'
ing officers and directors OF Chicago
packing companies with violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law, already
have been prepared by Attorney Pa
gin.
Attorney Kenyon held twenty-min'

Sunday night when he passed through
Chicago enroute for St. Paul to at
tend the conservation congress. At
this conference the beef inquiry was
thoroughly discussed and the evidence
secured against the packers was laid
before the chief executive,
simultaneously with the return OF
Judge X. NJ. Lands from his sum-
mer vacation, the grand jury returned
five minor indictments and then took
I'D the investigation of the alleged re-
lations between the the big oleomar'
garine firms and the "moonshiners."
This investigation was demanded by
Judge Lands at the same time he or
dered the beef inquiry.
William Broadwell and Sam Driss'

and are said to have told members OF
that body the same story told in
their confessions shortly after their
