HENEY HALTED. J Francis J. Hency has struck a snag j in his search for evidence against the packers, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals having (plashed the search warrant issued by .lodge I.andis to permit the examination of the letter let-ter tiles in the office of Henry Veeder, counsel for Swift & Company, bv the government. It is said that the reversal rever-sal was based on technical errors in certain of the Heney affidavits and that the decision was "without bar to further fur-ther proceedings." As Heney is a pitiless piti-less prosecutor it is not probable that he will give up the light. .. j.j j possession of other documents bearing on the case and he may mate specific . allegations concerning the Vecler files on information heretofore gained in i their perusal. Reversal on t b r, i .a li -i ties do.-s not sound very good and it J i will not dear th" packers from sus-i sus-i pi.-ion. At the same time tl..-v.. are !iiUt.'e. to the privilege of defending themselves in c.jurt to tiie be,t of their ability, for that is a privilege guaran-; guaran-; teed under the constitution. The next i move uf Mr. Jletiev will l.e awaited ' with some interest. The decision of j the ' ir.-uit Court of Appeals in tiie I Ve.-der case may bring freedom to the - I Industrial Workers of the World now under indictment in Chicago. The attorneys at-torneys for these men claim that the seizure of papers and documents of their clients wa:: illegal, and they have a motion pending before Judge Landis lo quash tiie indictments which are said to be based upon information thus forcibly obtained. If they are turned down by I.andis perhaps they will fare better in the higher court.
