States District Judge Carpenter.
Three accountants employed - the
packers testified today that they had
searched for the records in question
and had been unable to find them.
They said they believed the docu-
ments had been destroyed.
Defense VIII object.
The witnesses were asked to bring
the price ledger and other books
bearing on the manufacture and sale
of fresh meat into court tomorrow,
but It is said that the defense w.ll
make determined effort to prevent
them from going into the record of
the case on the ground that the books
of a corporation cannot be used as
evidence against its officers in "A Grim
nal proceedings
The three witnesses heard today
previously had given testimony
against the packers before federal
grand juries, but Judge Carpenter de-
cined to permit the witne 'srj to read
the stenographic reports Of the grand
jury with the purpose of refreshing
their memories.
The packers accountants were un-
able to remember many of the items
and allowances used IN figuring the
test cost of slaughtered cattle.
The three witnesses heard were
Henry i. Meyer. chief accountant in
the dressed meat department of Ar
mour & Company, Edgar Rothschild
clerk in the same department and
II. A. Timmons. chief accountant for
Morris K Company.
The government endeavored to show
by the testimony of these witnesses
that the system used by Armour a.
Company and Morris q Company. in
figuring the test cost, was substan-
TALLY the same and that the allowance
made for the different by-products
was inadequate.
District Attorney Willerson said
that In the future employees OF the
packers summoned as witnesses by
the government would be excluded
from the court room until they are
called to the stand.

No More Prosecutions.

The order which the court shall
enter viii make it impossible for any
prosecutions to be brought under the
indictments"
The court held that when Burns and
James Hosik, a detective Of Los An.
geles arrested Mcnamara on a requisi-
tion from the governor of California
and honored by the governor OF In.
diana, they acted legally under the
federal statutes. and any conflict in
the state law with the federal law
which made it possible to bring an in
dictment was not constitutional.
The federal investigation, he said.
had been delegated to the governors
of the state and the federal legislation
had empowered them with that right.
and the legislatures even have no
right to take such "A power away from
them. Indictments against Burns and
llosk allege that Mcnamara was de-
MED the right to resist eXtradition
rights.
Burns and Hosik petitioned for re-
lease. Detective Burns in statement
