Judge Carpenter Declares
Indictments Are
Valid.
Is VICTORY FOR SIMS
Evidence Given at Early lnVes-
tigation Had No Future
Application.

/ Chicago. March 22.-The indicted Chi.
cago packers today lost the fight
against going to trial on the indict-
ments secured by the government sew
eral months ago, when Judge Carpen-
ter in the United States district court
today overruled their demurrer 10 the
charges and held the immunity granted
i by Judge Humphrey in the federal in
/ 1906, did not apply To the present
charges. which he held We're based on
evidence not included in the Humphrey
decision.
IN LAST THREE YEARS.
United States District Attorney Sims
and his aides maintained the latest i'll
dictment were based on evidence OF
violations of the antitrust law which
have occurred within the last three
years
CLAIMED No TINE LIMIT.
/ In brief. the packers position was
that any conspiracy that might have
existed was plotted prior to the Hum
phreys immunity decision. and that the
immunity from prosecution granted
them extended over all future time. So
long as the acts covered by the 1906
decision remained the same.
No FUTURE APPLICATION
Carpenter ruled the immunity grant
ed them was only for acts prior TO the
date of the Indictment and could not
pertain TO any unlawful act performed
after that time Evidence given by
packers before the grand jury. he said.
could not relate to that which had not
occurred. and hence could have no fu-
ture application.
CONSPIRACY STILL IN EFFECT.
He also ruled that so long as the acts
complained of continued the conspir.
acy remained in effect, and the unlaw-
/ full acts growing out of the conspiracy
and occurring after the indicted men
had testified before the grand jury
were new and separate offenses and
subject TO the operation of the law
MUST ANSWER PLEAS.
/ Judge Carpenter denied the gov
ernment's motion to strike the
packers pleas in abatement from the
record and instructed the govern
ment to reply to the pleas.
The packers were instructed to be
in court March 27 and report what
action they proposed to take. They
were given 20 days by the court in
which to file exceptions, the order
given today being without appeal.
