After hearing this ruling District Autorney Reynolds stated to the judge that it was impossible to goon and that imsteuctions for acquittal might as well be given to the jury. This was done, and the first of the five famous cases fell to the ground with « .parting shot from Judge Phillips, who sevorely eriticised the Intor state Commerce commission and its attor novs for carelessness, not only in_ the instatce reforred o, but ' in others i which the railronds in question are designated by names which they have not legally borne for years. The other four cases are to be brought up, but similar result is expected With regard to the objections raised yes- torduy by the aefense to admission of “the Wahish© tariff sheet in evidence, Judge Phillips rvefused to allow the _introduc- ton of the different schedules for the present, on the ground that the schedules were mot evidenco of the, tence of w joint agreement between the parties, but allowed the government to introduce the necessary oral evidence as to the existence of such agreemeut between the two companies.
