[Questions were put by Mr. Faulkes Mp, Mellen to which answers were en by the latter to the effect that or indirectly he had no jowledge that the New Haven road d ownership in the stock of the ptropolitan Steamship company, nor i any subsidiaries of the New Ha- n company own any stock in that Impany. (M¥r. Mellen. added that to the best his knowledge the New Haven road ver had anything to do with the drs of the steamship company. Two Steamship Companies. ! My, Faulkes said that it appeared evidence in the case that there e two Metropolitan Steamship mpanies, and that his questions pre intended to cover the one or- nized in 1008 and the other, Num- 2, in March, 1910. Mr, Mellen id his answers covered both. He d knowledge of only one company, )d not carrying dates in his head, judged it was Number 2 com- y. His only reason for having howledge of the formation of this impany was the fact that at the ne he thought he might have some- ing to do with it at a later date. Shown certain schedules and ex- bits relating to the formation of company, Mr, Mellen said he knew hing of them. He reiterated that e New Haven road and its sub- liaries had nothing to do with the opolitan Steamship companies. r.

Mr. Faulkes asked Mr. Mellen what interest the New Haven.road had in the New England Securities com- pan. “None that I can recall,” said Mr. Mellen, “Do you know of the existence of that company ?” “Only from what I have read connection with this case.” “Do-you know anything about the Chilmark company?” “I do not.” Mr. Faulkes: “I will ask a similar question in regard to the Eastern Se- curity company.” “And I answer the same,” said Mr. Mellen. Mr. Faulkes: ‘“Now, Mr. Mellen, did any of the funds of the New Haven road, or any of its subsidiaries go into the securities of the two Metropolitan Steamship companies, the New England Security compan the Chilmark company, or the East- ern Security company of Maine?"” Mr., Mellen: “No sir. I do not see how it would be possible for any investment to have been made in the securities of those companies. Fur- thermore I have no knowledge of an: of those securities mentioned.” in CONSIDER LOCATIONS. 8. P.
