'EIiEPHONE, SEVEN - TWO
NOT TELLING TRUTH
CHARGE MADE BY DISTRICT AT
TORNEY AGAINST M'FARLANE.
Attorney General of United States
Observes Case of Packers Saya
Department of Justice Got No In-
, formation From Garfield.
' Chicago, Feb. G. Hut ono witness
was on the stand in the packers' case.
This was C. M. McFarlane. ofllco
manager for Morris & Co. His evi
dence related to the manner In which
the agents of the government weru
given information in the caso of Mor
ris & Co. The cross-examination by
District Attorney Morrison was ex
ceedingly sharp. Just beforo the ad
journment of court the district attor
ney put. some leading questions re
garding the working of the Oppen
liclmcr company, which, it is claimed
by the government, was one of the af
filiated concerns, through which tho
packers controlled the price of by
products. He made the assertion that
tho witness wns not telling the truth
and brought on a warm argument, in
which all the attorneys took part. Tho
question was finally ruled out by tho
court.
Attorney General Moody was an ob
server nt the trial and at the noon re
cess of court said In reply to ques
tions: "I notice that the attorneys
for the packers have produced evi
dence to the effect that Commissioner
Garfield said that l"o would not give
to the department of justice the in
formation secured from the packers.
If he ever said that ho certainly kept
his word, for the department of justice
never received any Information from
him. Neither did wo receive informa
tion from tho president nor any of tho
subordinate officers of the department
of Justice."
