PROPOSED Merger
.OF PACKING FIRMS
GETS A PUNCTURE
Armour Says Too Much,
Asserts One Big
Packer

Chicago, Dec. S.-An unexpected
turn in the discussed merger of the
two large packing firms, Morris &
Co. and Armour & Co., became known
today when a signed statement issued
! by the former firm as made public.
| 1t was over the signature of Nelson
! Morris, chairman of the board of di-
rectors, and Edward Morris, presi-
dent of the company.
The statement indicated that j.
Ogden Armour, of Armour & Co., in
visits to Washington and conferences
with officials of the government on
the proposed merger, has not taken
officials of Morris & Co. into his con-
fidence At least part of Morris &
Co. officials knowledge Of his ac-
tions, as indicated by the statement,
was obtained from newspaper re-
ports.
The Morris & Co. statement read:
ave note by Thursdays papers
that Mr.. Armour has advised Presi-
dent Harding that we are anxious to
be out of the packing business.
"This is news to US.
"While we realized that Mr.. Ar
mour is very anxious to acquire our
business and our organization, up to
the present time we have not put any
price on same, and he has not made
us an offer.
Gwen if Mr.. Armour should pur-
chase our business it would not mean
that we would long remain out of the
packing business"
1t was said in some quarters, fol-
lowing the issuance of the statement,
that it was indicated, although the
Morris & Co. holdings might be ac-
ouired by Armour & Co., the former
firm would not forsake the packing
business for any length of time.

DEFENSE ON STAND
IN WOMAN s CASE .
AGA|NSTGOvERNOR
Sensational Suit Now on
Its Third Day of
PLAINTIFF TELLS TALE
Miss Birkhead Admits
Receiving Money for
Scoop"

Oxford, Miss, Dec. 8.-With more
than a score of witnesses, including
Theo G. Bilbo, former governor OF
Mississippi, yet to be heard from
the trial of 100000 damage suit
against Lee NJ. Russell, governor of
Mississippi, by Miss Frances C. Birk-
head, stenographer, entered its third
day session here today in the United
States district court.
The witnesses to be called are for
the defense, while additional testi-
mony in rebuttal is expected to be
presented by Miss Birkhead.
Resting it's case by counsel for the
plaintiff, lengthy wrangle over the
much discussed "Mary" letter, and
order by Judge E. R. Holmes, citing
Mr.. Bilbo for contempt of court were
the important developments in the
case yesterday. The trial was start
ed Wednesday following two days of
argument over a demurrer by the de-
fense, which was overruled, There
were no indications early today when
the trial would be brought to close.
Governor Russell was called as the
first witness by the defense after OPP
posing counsel had rested their case.
He was on the stand, under cross-eX-
animation when court adjourned for
the day.
The executive in answer to ques
tion as to whether he had authorized
some of his friends to effect set
tlement with Miss Birkhead, replied
with dramatic emphasis: 81 never
authorized anyone to pay her a
dime," adding, as he looked where
Miss Birkhead sat with her counsel,
at is a deliberate falsehood and she
knows it." Miss Birkhead had testi-
fled the governor told her that he had
authorized Theo G. Bilbo, former
governor of Mississippi, an done or
two other friends to make settle
ment with her.
Miss Birkhead, under cross -exami-
nation during most of the morning,
admitted that during the campaign
for the governorship in 1919 she in
formed Oscar Johnston and Earl
Brewer, former governor, both po-
litical opponents of the governor, of
the alleged wrongs, which form the
basis of her suit. She also admitted
receiving a monetary consideration
fir information, by which one news
paper was enabled to score scoop"
in printing her allegations first.
Both sides offered witnesses in an
effort to fix the authorship of the
MARY" letter, handwriting compari-
sons being made particularly of the
letter IN" on the original letter, and
formation of the character by Mr..
Russell.
In order to expedite the case, Judge
Holmes order issued yesterday ex-
tending court sessions until o'clock
in the evening was expected to con-
tinue throughout the trial.
