December 10. The first witness was
called by the government December
20. The government put 40 wit
nesses on the stand and introduced
LASS documents in evidence. The
record of the case contains 5,00O,OOO
words.
1t is estimated that the trial cost
the packers SoOO,OOO. and the gov
ernment about 100000.
The first witness called by the
government was Albert II. Veeder,
the dean of counsel for the packers
and personal legal advisor of the late
Gustavus F., Swift, founder of Swift
& Company. He gave a graphic de-
scription of the Old packers pool,
which met every Tuesday afternoon
prior to 1902, and gave the details
of the method by which the fresh
meat business OF the country was
controlled. He declared that no at
tempt was made to tiX prices and di-
vide territory after the old packers
pool was dissolved in 1902. He also
told of the attempt of Armour, Swift
and Morris interests to combine the
packing industry into a billion-dol-
lar corporation and how the plan was
dropped because of the inability OF
its promoters to finance il.
Nearly every witness called by the
government in the trial was either
an employe or a former employe of
one of the corporations controlled by
the defendants.
The defense cross-eXamined every
witness at length, and in this way
got much of its side of the case be-
for the jury.
The jury which heard the case was
composed of the following:
J. h. Harvey, so years old, gro
Ger, Wilton Center, III.
Edward j. Ryon, 4 5 years old, car
penter foreman, Streator, Ill.

Colonel Charles Marshall, who
was aid-dc-camp to General Robert
z. bee ard who went through the
battles of the war with his chief
told the following amusing story of
his experience with a new horse:
His old horse had been shot from
under him in The fight ef the pre-
vious day, and he had taken posses
sion of an amman that seemed to
suit the work. In the battle few
hours later he was riding across
field in which there were numerous
stumps. :.
Suddenly the performance open
ed. The guns roared, and the air
was filed with smoke and noise.
Before Colonel Marshall knew
what was happening the horse had
his four feet on one of the stumps
and was gayly dancing in a circle.
In the meantime the firing was IN
-creasing, and the situation was any
thing but comfortable. But the
horse kept on as if he were enjoy
ing it.
'1t was not until afterward," said
Colonel Marshall, "that I found the
horse had belonged to a, circus and
had been trained to do. this act
amid the firing Of cannon" :

It's inhabitants wore wooden shoes 100 years ago, and the inhabitants of the present day wear wooden shoes. Col John A.
