March 2.—The Indict ed Chicago packers lost their fight against going to trial on the indict ments secured by the Roverninent sev eral months ago when .Judge Carpenter in the United L'tates district court to day overruled their demurrer to the charges and held that the immunity granted by .Tudee Humphrey of the federal circuit cottr! in 19(h; did not a])ply to the pres-ent charges, which he held were based on evidence not in cluded in the Humi)hrey decision. .htdge Carpenter's decision went into the controversy relating to im munity w4th g>'eat are. Iti brief the ))ackers position was that any conspiracy that might have existed was the plotting done prior to .Judge Htimphrey's immunity decis ion and that the immunity from lirosecution granted them extended over all future time, so lorg as the acts covered b.v the 1900 decision re mained the same. In deciding this .fudge Carpenter ruled that the immunity granted them was only for acts w'hich h:.d occurred i)rior to the date of the in dictment. As to the contention of the defense that the conspiracy ended with the first plotting, he ruled tliat so long as the acts complained of continued the cons])iracy remained in effect. In addition the offenses of the l)ackers prior to their immunity and from the. criminal responsibility for wltich they were freed by the Hum phrey decisim, weie defined '^y the court as none the less criminal in themselves. He said they could be used in i)rosecutions w'hich were pre dicted on a continuation of the of- fetise. Gtave Chatges Against this Man By Associated Press. New Orleans.

In the babel of tongues one could distinguish those oft-repeated exclam ations: “Who pays you the price of Abbatemaggio’s shame?” “You are paid from the secret funds of the government.” “You were sent here under orders from the carbiners.” This attack was encouraged by the prisoners’ who applauded as they ex claimed, “Bravo!
