This investigation contemplated an inquiry similar to the one begun two vears laier which resulted in the in- dictment of the defendants in this case on the charge of conspiracy to monopolize. The earlier inquiry was confined, Charles S. Mellen festified today, to the so-called New Haven- Grand Trunk deal, by which it was then alleged and is 1lso alleged in this case, the Grand Trunk was in- duced to abandon the proposed exten- sion of its New England line from Palmer, Mass., to Providence, R.

Robbins, the New Haven’s general counsel, over the effect of such an investigation on the New Haven, Ledyard “at my earnest in- sistence,”” went to Washington, saw the president and the attorney gen- eral and reported back that he thought the result of the interviews “would be satisfactory in confining the investigation to the Grand Trunk.” REHEARING DENIED.
