The state- ment says in part: Ten separate pleas in bar have been flled, each of them alleging facts which it is claimed ought to Lar the Government from proceeding further In this case. Eight of these pleas are based upon the al- leged conduct of Mr. Garfleld, Commissioner of Corporations, in making an investigation of the affalrs of the defendants in pursuance of the authority conferred upon him by law and in special obedience to the: resolution of the | House of Representatives requiring him to make such investigation. The Attorney General asserts In the most positive terms that none of the information ob- tained by Mr. Garfleld' was used before the Grand Jury and_further says that he is f formed by Mr. Garfield, and believes, that certain stages of the investigation the defen ants declired to give Information unless they were put in & position to obtain the immunity provided by the act of Congress and required { by the constitution of the United States, and | that when such Instances occurred, acting after | & conference with the Attorney General, Mr. Garfield refrained from pursuing the inquiry further and made no further attempt to obtaln information, documentary or otherwise, along these lines. The seventh plea in bar urges that the Gov- | ernment unlawtully seized certain papers of | the defendants and submitted them to the Grand Jury contrary to the rights conferred upon them by the constitution. The Govern- ment denies that it obtained any papers other- wise than by the orderly process of a subpena directly to the person who had the custody of them. The answer pregared by the Government wili ralse a mixed lssue of law and fact to-be 8e- termined, not by the Attorney General or the District Attorney, but by the court in which the proceedings are pending. The Government will resist these pleas in bar and urge a speedy trial of them; but the At- torney General refrains from expressing any optnion upon the ‘case, as it would be obviously improper for him to do so while the questions are pending in the District Court.
