PACKERS MUST STAND TRIAL
Immunity Bath Given Them in 1905
No Longer Effective.
RULING OF JUDGE CARPENTER
Court Overruies Demurrer 10 Indict-
ments, saying that Immunity
Granted Docs Not Cover sub
segment Offenscs.
RULING OF JUDGE CARPENTER

CHICAGO March 1.-THE indicted Chi
cago packers lost their fight against going
to trial on the indictments secured by the
government several months ago when
Judge Carpenter in the United States dis
trict court today overruled their demurrer
to the charges and held that the immunity
granted by Judge Humphrey Of the federal
circuit court IN 1905 did not apply to the
present charges. which. he held were based
on evidence not included in the Humphrey
decision
Judge Carpenters decision occupied
nearly an hour in reading and went into
the controversy relating to immunity with
great detail
In brief, the packers position was that
any conspiracy that might have existed
was the plotting prior TO Judge Tumph-
rey's immunity decision and that the i'm
munity from prosecution granted them ex-
tended over all future time, 50 long as tho
acts covered by the 1905 decision remained
| the same.
Judge Carpenter ruled that the immunity
granted then was only for acts which mad
occurred prior to the date of the indct-
ment and could not pertain to any unlaw-
full act which was performed after that
time. ----
