I.- Wolfe's senate-commit tee. Thursday was fixed as th© date of ; the trial.* . Both District Attorney Fickert and his assistant, James F. Brennan, ad mitted that the claim of Immunity made It \u25a0at least doubtful whether a case could be made against them. It was on Judge Cabanlss* suggestion that the Western fish company was chosen- as the defendant to be tried first. Attorney W. M. Madden moved for the dismissal of the indictments against the 18 whom- he says have taken an immunity bath, but th^e prosecution ob jected and Judge Cabanlss refused to grant the motion. These cases also went over to Thursday. A. Trapanl, whom It was proposed to try Monday last, when the claim of immunity was sprung. Is the president of the Western fish company. Accord- Ing-, to the testimony In the. civil case tried three months ago in Judge Hunt's court, Trapani was one of the most active members of the combination, he and A. Paladlni being practically the dictators. "The" case against the Western fish company is the case against Trapanl," said Fickert yesterday. "We will in trodnce the same testimony that we had intended to. produce on the trial of Trapani. The conviction of the com pany will result in breaking up the trust .as effectually as the conviction of Trapani •or any other member. The only difference is that a sentence of Imprisonment can not be asked for. The court may, however, impose a fine of $5,000 on the corporation."
