Mr. Swacker first defined the nature of conspiracy as construed under the » Sherman law and refreshed the jurors’ memories on the charges in the in- dictment The federal attorney described 2 “distinct violations of the act” the called tripartite agreement between the New Haven, the New York Central and the New York and Harlem, which excluded other railroads from enter- ing New York, and the Sound Lines’ agreement, which fixed steamboat rates between New York and New England ports. He then reviewed in chronological order the various ac- quisitions of the New Haven road, ex- plaining how each, as the government contends, had resulted in a suppres- sion of competition. the ten - “Harassing Litigation.” Mr. Swacker laid special empha on the acquisition of the New York and New England Railroad, dwellin on the “Harassing litigation” and other methods testified to by Charles «S. Mellen, which the New Haven is charged with using to interfere with that road. You remember that Mr. Mellen tes- tified,” continued the attorney, “that he had never known two railroads such fierce competition as the New Haven and the New Eng- land. When the grade jury began its first investigation, Mr. Mellen W afraid of this New England acquisi- tion. He knew it was the rankest violation of the Sherman Law.” Mellen had regarded the agreement between the New and the Joy Steamship Co., as an- other “flagrant violation of the law, so flagrant that he recommended the acquisition of the line as the lesser of the two evils,” said Mr. Swacker. Central New England. Taking up the purchase of Central New England, rate Haven the ‘ the attorney =called attention to the letter written by Mellen to the New Haven, while he was president of the Northern Pa- cific, in which he advised the acqni- sition ‘6f the Central, “If you want to maintain your monopoly.” “This,” id Mr. Swacker, s “he ~wrote as a friend of the New Haven, ssulted in the consolidation of 4 finding lays the ac . ing murdered his ‘ata . of the one familiar with conditions New England.” “Stock Watering.” The attorney described as “stock watering”. the transactions which re- New Haven trolley lines in Conne(‘::‘i: cut into the Consolidated Railway Co., the transfer to it of the New Haven's steamship lines at a valua- tion of $20,000,000 and the exchar of the company’s stock for New H: wen stock. “The defendants are not with “stock watering” he this is what it was Billard Transaction.
