New York, Aug. 4—The succession of fines which has marked the progress of the government's successful cam- paign against the wire manufacturers recently inducted for ferming pools ‘n vielation to the anti-trust laws rea ed a climax today when Edwin Jackson, Jr., the New York attorney whom the federal attorneys termed the “head and brains of the trust,” was ®entenced to pay $45,000. Wanted Jackson Sent to Jail. y is by far the heaviest penalty inflioted upon any of the 73 wire man- ufacturers who thus far have pleaded nole contendere to the government's indictments, but it did not satisfy United States District Attorney Wise. The government prosecutor pleaded with United States Circuit Court Judge Archbald to send the wire trust attorney to jail. He said tonight that he would apply for Mr. Jackson's dis- barment. Ten Pleaded Noio Contendere. Ten of the men indicted, including Mr. Jackson, changed their pleas of not guilty to nele centendere teday. They were fined $1.000 each, with $100 more for each additional indictment. Against Jackson nine indictments were found and his fines were $35,000 for each count. In addition he was sen- tenced to pay $2,800 in costs. District Attorney Wise told the court that ev this penalty meant little to the de- fendant, who made $211,000 from his services in erganizing the wire pools in 1808 and $107,600 in 1909. == Total of Fines Reaches $136,700. Today's prooeedings probably wound up the wire cases for sevaral weaks, becauss Mr. Wise will leave tomorrow for & vacation in Europe. The fines imposed in the wire trust indictments thus far total $186,7000. Only ten mo-e members of the alleged illegal pools remain to plead, and the district at- torney believes that they will follows the example of their former associates -nfi make the admissien of technicaly gullt impHed in the plea of nolo con-| tendere. 3 Morgan’s Son-in-Law Fined Others who pleaded and were fined today were Herbert L. Satterlee, a son- in-law_of J. P. Morgan, William S. Kyle, Wallace D. Rums; George E, Holton, Frederick J. Hall, J. B. Olsen, James H. Sieberling, Benjamin S. WJlf and Eugene P. Phillips. e Satterlee Had Intended to Fight. Attorney James R. Sheffield, who ap- peared for Mr. Satterlee, said that his client becama an officer of the Habir- shaw Wire company and a_member of the Rubber Covered Wire association only as an incident to a professional duty ana he owned no stock and ac- cepted no salary. He hffd intended to defend the case, but to save the time and expense that would be necessitat- ed by a trial if he failed to follow the example of the other defendants he de- cided to withdraw his plea of not guilty and make a formal plea of nolo contendere. Jackson the Worst Type of a Criminal Tn his arraignment of Mr. Jackson, District Attorney Wise said the de- fendant had violated the law for 20 years. “He is not a manufacturer,” he continued. “He was not seeking i manufacturer’s profit. He was seeking to earn millions. He went after the manufacturers and induced them to come into the poels. In my opirion this man is the worst type of criminal that society has to contend with. He was well versed in the Sherman law. He knew he was violating the law, and he dragged others into it.” Attorney’s Defense of Jackson. Jackson's attorney replied that his client acted only as an agent and that in every pool there must be an agent. Judge Denied Prison Sentence. Although he denied the district at- torney’s request for a prison sentence, Judge Archbald said it appearsd that but for Jackson the illegal compact among the manufacturers might not have been carried out. Hewitt Indictment Quashed. The indictment against Erskine Hew- itt was quashed. The district attorney announced that it was found that Mr. Hewitt’s holdings in the pools were closed out several years ago. CLIMBED TREE TO ESCAPE BLOODHOUNDS.
