The specific charges allege that the Pennsylvania Railroad company grant- ed to the Standard Oil company spe- cial concessions in the shipments of freight and that the Standard Oil company did “unlawfully and know- ingly accept from the Pennsylvania Railroad company a concession in re- spect to the transportation of certain of its property in interstate commerce, whereby and by which device that property was transported in such commerce at a less rate than that named in the tariffs so published and filed by said Pennsylvania Railroad company” in violation of the statutes, The ‘indictments are so specified that in casc those found against one company are sustained on trial they necessarily must be sustained against the other companies. The various counts pertain. to specific cases in which these special rates were grant- ed and accepted and embrace a period of time from Jan. 1, 1904, to Dec. 22 of the same year. The indictment against the Vacuum Oil company of Rochester is on ex- actly similar grounds—that special concessions were accepted from the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
