Packers May Be Fugitives From Justice
Washington March 1 A bill would declare members of the beef trust indicted in New Jersey fugitives from justice and compel their extradition to New Jersey to stand trial for alleged illegal combination and monopoly. Representative Henry of Texas introduced the measure, asserting the defendants cannot dodge criminal responsibility by arguing they were not present in New Jersey. The bill makes an executive extradition order with indictment evidence indisputable and bars court challenges to arrest or extradition across states. Henry says the measure targets Chicago based conspirators who acted from outside New Jersey but caused crimes there.
