BOOKS ARE GONE
Many Wanted by Government in Pack
ers' Case Have Disappeared

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Evidence on the de-
tails Of the methods used in figuring
the test cost of cattle was given by
Henry A. Timmins, chief accountant for
Morris & Co, when the trial of the
ten Chicago packers charged with con-
spiracy in restraint of trade was re-
sumed in the United States court.
Further details of the bookkeeping
methods employed in the fresh meat
business were given.
The general ledgers of Morris & Co.
from 1907 to 1910 were taken before
United States District Judge Carpen-
ter and items showing the allowances
credited for by-products were read to
the jury by the district attorney in an
tention that these allowances are mad
equate.
The government attempted to show
by the intricate method of accounting
employed that the systems of the diff
ferent packers were practically uni
form. Several witnesses who have been
examined stated they were unable to
recollect the details of the allowances
for by-proGucts to which they had pre-
Viously testified before a federal grand
jury.
They declared that many of the books
and records which the government de-
sires to use in the present case and
which were produced before the fed
eral grand jury in a rebating investiga-
tion against the packers in 1909 had dis
appeared.
