JUDGE KOHLSAAT QUASHES WRIT
OF HABEAS CORPUS GRANT.
ED NINE DEFENDANTS.
DODCED COURTS 9 YEARS
Obstacle Removed, Trial May Be Be-
gun-Full Jurisdiction Declared
to Be Vested In District
Tribunal.

Chicago, Illinois. - Ten packing
house magnates whom the government
has sought for more than eight years
to bring to trial on charges of viola
tion of the Sherman antitrust law will
face jury.
The last avenue of escape, the final
plan to temporize and the last des-
perate expedient of the packers to
stave off a trial. was blocked by
decision of United States Circuit
Judge c. c. Kohlsaat. when he Quashed
a writ of habeas corpus previously
sued out by them, and, in granting
them an appeal from his decision, re-
fused to take the defendants out of
the custody of the district court.
Counsel for the packers were grant
ed right to appeal on the question Of
whether the court erred in Quashing
the writ of habeas corpus. They will
take that question, which involves
also an attempt to have the Sherman
laws penal section declared unconsti-
tutional, because of indefiniteness, to
the supreme court of the United
States. But. by refusing himself to adj
nit the defendants to bail, and re-
Quiring that they should be surrender
ed back to their bondsmen, Judge
Kohlsaat keeps the packers in the
physical custody Of the district court,
and so far as lawyers cC1ld figure out,
makes it impossible for 1ne defendants
to avoid standing trial. Their appeal
on the habeas corpus writ is separated
from the main issues in the case.
1t will be the first time since July
1, 1903-when the government first
began it's prosecution against them
that the department of justice has sue
ceeded in forcing thm to trial.
Through nearly nine years of litiga-
ton, the defendants have successfully
interposed obstacle after obstacle to
prevent consummation of the govern
ment's plans.
The men are indicted for criminal
conspiracy to restrain commerce, and,
if convicted, may be sent to Jail.
Judge KohlSaat, in his decision, de-
clared that the plea of the petitioners
that an immediate adjudication of the
constitutionality Of the penal section
of the Sherman law-under which the
packers were ndicted-constituted
special and extraordinary reasons why
it should be granted. was untenable.
I'm the opinion of this court, the
district court has full jurisdiction, and
for this court to intervene and in
law, after that question had been
raised and decided in the district
court, as pleaded by the government,
would be in effect a review of the de-
cision of the district court.
