PACKERS TRIAL DELAYED.
Defendants Endeavor To Defeat Plans
-'-vr- Of Prosecution. G

CHICAGO, Nov. 18.-Counsel for the
nine Chicago packers indicted under
the Sherman antitrust act succeeded
late today in getting q further delay
in the criminal trial, which was sched-
uled to begin Monday in the United
States district court. The delay-un.
til next Wednesday-was granted by
Judge G. G. Kohlsaat in the United
States circuit court, where, earlier in
the day, the defend ants had been de-
feated in efforts to make effective a
writ OF habeas corpus. An appeal to
the United States supreme court was
allowed by Judge Kohlsaaat in his
decision. After deciding to quash
the writ OF habeas corpus and after
ordering the defendants remanded on
their sureties, Judge Kohlsaat agreed
to delay formal entry of his decision
and order until Wednesday morning.
This, it is asserted, will necessitate
postponement of the opening of the
criminal trial of the packers long
enough to permit the indicted men to
go before the United States supreme
court, before they autom aticslly have
accepted jurisdiction in the district
court by appearing at the trial there.
James Sheean of special counsel for
the government made sharp objection
to this delay while the point was be-
ing argued before Judge Kohlsaat
this afternoon.
"It has taken eight years to get q
plea of mot guilty from these de-
fendants," said Attorney Sheeap,
"and now, six months after the mo,
guilty plea has been entered, the trial
has not been begun and the de.
fendants have not faced q jury. I
protest at any further delay"
