Immunity Plea Emerges in Packers Trial
In Chicago, November 26, 1906, the defense sought to bar testimony on pre July 1 1905 packer transactions as irrelevant.

First witness Albert Veeder outlined Swift and Co structure, National Packing Co ties, and secretive Tuesday meetings where meat prices were allegedly fixed.
