prosecute citizens of the United States in

exclaimed General John C. Cowen, coun
sel for the Cudahy Packing Company, in
the federal courc trial in the beef cases
this morning. Pointing his finger at Com
missioner Garfield, he continued in the
sime vein and eulogized the commission
er's father and s lamed his son. He ar
ai, Med the government for compelling
them to testify, then seeking to make
criminals ot them by depriving them of
their constitutional rights. Cowen said
that he first learned the doctrine of com
pulsion from Commissioner Garfield's
father.-io whom he went to school when a
boy. He learned then that when the
command was given and backed by com
petent authority that he must obey. He
said Commissioner Garfield was armed
with such authority when ha sent an
agent to Cudahy with a command to lay
his business secrets bare, promising Im
munity, and declared the government had
