Case May Go to Jury,
Friday Afternoon.
Defence Closes, Thursday, and
Final Arguments Are Made.
Governments Close and Judges
Charge viii Bring Trials Close.

Chicago, March 21.-The case Of the
10 Chicago meat packers who have
been on trial since Dee. before United
States District Judge George \. Car
penter charged with criminal violation
of the Sherman law is scheduled to
go TO the jury, tomorrow afternoon.
The defence closed its case, today,
with final arguments to the jury by
Attorney Borders and Attorney John
Barton Payne.
Tomorrow, Special Counsel Pierce
Butler will close the case for the gov
eminent. Judge Carpenter is then to
instruct the jury regarding the law in
the case and the jurors will retire to
consider verdict. In closing the de-
PENDANTS case, Attorney John Barton
Payne said:
Cabinets i'll Europe await your YER
diet to decide whether fresh meat from
the United States shall in the future
be excluded from certain foreign eoun-
tries. Do not send out word to the
world that there is a dishonored cattle
market in Chicago The government
is asking prison term for these de-
PENDANTS if verdict of guilty is re-
turned. If men are to be deprived of
their liberty on such evidence as this,
then. indeed. are our institutions on
trial.
The defendants business is on trial
in this case. No good can be accom-
plished by verdict of guilty. Nobody
claims anybody has been injured by
these defendants. A verdict of guilty
would characterize these men as erimi-
nails brand their business as fraud
and do great harm to this country
and its people Not witness has
testified that the price of fresh meat
has been raised or the price of cattle
lowered

LA TOILETTE BACK FROM WEST

Washington, March Ex-senator La
Toilette when he returned from North
Dakota, today, issued a statement in
part as follows:
Il shall spend few days in Wash
ington and then begin thorough
speaking campaign covering all the
country . can until the last delegate
is elected. In cooperation with state
organizations and speakers we shall
plan TO reach the people directly with
discussion of the issues as we did in
North Dakota, with, / believe, the
same results.
There never was cleaner cut
fight than in North Dakota. In the
fiercest election campaigns | have
never known more crowded meetings
or keener interest in the questions at
stake or less local or personal feeling.
You will find in all Progressive ter
ritory protest against the surrender of
the Progressive movement into the
hands of soft shell ProgressiVes and
Reactionaries. Political manipulation
may have succeeded in obscuring the
issues and bringing about temporary
disorganZation of the Progressive
forces here at the capital. but the peo-
pie throughout the country never saw
more clearly. never We're more
strongly united for progress.
In devoting my time so largely to
public discussion of the issues
throughout the country, | am conf
dent that I shall be rendering my best
public service at this time"
