CHICAGO, Jan. .-A determined effort
to have excluded from th record all
documentary evidence Identified by wit
ness Jerome H. Tratt and Involving sev
eral letters alleged to contain pencil no
tations by J. Ogden Armour, Arthur
Meeker snd Thomas J. Connors wss
mads by counsel for the defanee when the
trial of the ten Chicago puckers was re
sumed loilay.
The motion was madcaot the opening
of court snd csme at a moment when Dis
trict Attorney Wtlkereon wss preparing
to PAsit in the lurv a number ot the docu
mentary exhibits. The Jury wss
used snd the entire morning session
waa taken up with ' arguments on the
subject. After counsel hsd concluded
their argument. Judge Carpenter suld:
My view Is that all the clrcumstantlsl
evidence should be put In even If It doee
not at the time offered seem slgnlflcsnt.
Tou are ssklnir me to weigh this evi
dence ss It comes In. It appears cer
tain that the proof of conspiracy In lhl
case will not be by a- document, signed
and sealed by these defendants. The con
spiracy will have to be proven by the
circumstances. These documents tend to
prove the methods used by the alleged
combination In the conduct of Its busi
ness and may be an Important circum
stance from tha government's point of
view.
"I think snythlng that jrtiowj the
method of conducting the business of
these corporatlona which Is controlled
by these defendants In comietent at this
time."

pany, for false swearing. Robert Mitchell

pany action against himself fos 1138

by a counterclaim for damages for

The trouble Is the outgrowth of the
r houseboat by Mitchell. The
lumber used for the boat waa sold by
the Cady jompany. When the company
began to fear Mitchell would sail away
(n his boat without paying, tt started an
attachment action and rot aa injunction
restraining Mitchell from taking away

Mitchell was a non-reawent w ins
state. Lster be Bled an amoavii inai

his permanent residence in .nnana.
xi.k.n v he baa been damaged

This request will be denied for the reason
that Norrls acted la good faith and at
