This was one of the comments of the court on the argument of Goldthwaite H. | Dorr, of counsel for the cleven former of the New Haven road, when he resumed his effort to prove that the defendants were entitled to a verdict for acquittal. it Mr. Dorr contended that the New Haven's control of New England transportation opened that territory to the westward trunk lines on a competitive basis and thus fostered competition in 1d of suppressing it. “I do not s 1id the court, “that it is indisputable that there can be no does not airectors Pocahontas Statuette | | Wilson | | Gift to Mrs. monopolization in New England. If that were the case, then it would fcllow that there could be no mo- nopolization in any center of the country. Cites Copper Shipments. The court cited copper shipments from Butte, Mont., and fruit ship- ments from California as examples of similar situations from which it might on the same principle be held that the traffic could not be monopolized. “Undoubtedly,” Judge Hunt con- tinued, “there is great force in the argument of Mr. Mellen that in order for New England to continue to en- joy its industrial supremacy it necessary for her to have the advan- tage of rates and service that would save her from the competition ' of cther centers of the country. But, conceding that that argument has great force, we revert to the question as to whether or not the facts should rot be addressed to the jury—to those Persons who are to determine whether a purpose existed to create a com- bination in order to accomplish an unlawful end.” Thacher Elaborates Argument. Thomas Thacher followed with an claboration of his argument made vesterday that under the latest su- preme court decisions on the Sher- man law it was necessary for the gov- ernment to prove that the New Haven had been prejudicial to the public interest. This, he contended, the government haq failea to do. “‘Suppose,” asked Judge Hunt, “We have a combination formed with the power to affect the public interests, | prejudicially, although it should not choose to exercise it Suppose that the public and the shipper have no reason for complaint against the com- bination, but live nevertheless under the dread of that power?” “Because you own a power fac- tory it does not mean you intend to blow up the whole town,” replied Mr. Thacher. He added that the question resolved itself into that of the intent of those who formed the combination. CHARLES CHRISDIE DEAD.
