Swift Refused Information About Hogs and Sheep
Edward F Swift was cross examined by Prosecutor Morrison in Chicago on February 1. He claimed he did not recall refusing information about hogs and sheep because the Martin resolution did not include those items. He could not say whether he attended a company meeting where private care were discussed and did not remember refusing to furnish information about the National Procking company or stock in related firms. Swift noted Garfield reserved certain questions and pointed to numerous outs about stock in Aetna Trading, Oppenheimer, and Kenwood companies, said to be channels through which packers fixed by products prices.
