Best Equipped Workshop in Northern Minnesota. Chicago, March 1J.—The govern- ment’s case in the retrial of the Standard Oil company of Indiana, ‘Which so far has fared unfortunately in Judge Anderson’s court, again nar- rowly escaped a death blow. ,Judge ing fidelity, held that the government must prove, as alleged in the indict- ment, that there was a standard rate for oil shipments between Whiting, Ind., and East St. Louis, 1L, at the time of the offenses with which the defendant is charged and that the de- fendant knowingly accepted a lower secret rate. The court declared that the government must convince him that it would be able to prove this. At the request of Assistant District Attorney Wilkerson court unexpected- ly adjourned to allow time for the preparation of arguments to show that the required evidence will be forth- coming. Judge Anderson’s ruling will, it is said, compel the government to ask for leave to amend the indictment. Although the government counsel did Gt directly state that a refusal to allow this amendment’ to be made ‘would be a death blow to the prosecu- tion their admissions made this infer- ence obvious.
