An old and creased bit of paper was

NJ and Co. 1913" which were said
to be representative Of the holdings
Of Armour, Swift and Morris in the

Attorney Heney, for the commits

when the National Packing company
was dissolved, the properties were di-
vided SO that each of these three
packers could retain the same per-
centages Of business in each city
which they had enjoyed before the
dissolution.

Furthermore, he added, in 1913 the
Sulzberger corporation, which later
became Wilson & Co. and Cudahy &

NEW TRIAL FOR
MOONEY URGED
President Is Asked by His
Commission to Grant San
Francisco Man Trial.
CONTINUED from page l.

I letters is an attempet by Oxman to
suborn perjury in confederation Of
vital testimony which he was to give
and which. in fact, he did give against
Mooney"
I It is true that Oman was tried for
attempted subordination Of perjury
and acquitted. but this is beside the
present consideration. In fact. after
the exposure of Oman, the district
attorney did not call him. though
available, as a witness in the trial Of
Mrs. Mooney. When Oman was dis
credited the verdict against Mooney
was discredited.
Their joint participation in the
crime leaves the mind in the greatest
uncertainty as to the completely Of
the accused While each record in it
self presents evidence which would
justify an appellate court in sustain

Of the four cases in their entirety

Corporations Try ITO Get Him"
The commission in detailing conGi-
tons in San Francisco at the time Of
Moneys trial, says:
There can be no doubt that Mooney
was regarded as labor agitator Of
malevolence by the public utilities of
San Francisco and the utilities against
which he directed his agitation sought
