Imposing Array of Legal Talent on Hand In Court “to .Defend the Accused, Officers of the American Tobaczo Company. New York, June 8.—Ten millionaires in a group were arrai _ned as common prisoners before the r of the court of general sessions. To be sure, they were not handcuffed or clutched by the min- lons of the law when they came. into court, but for all that they have been charged with a crime and may be pun- ished for it, as the sorriest offenders, by confinement in prison cells. ‘The ten millionaire prisoners are all officers of the American Tobacco company. “Conspiracy” is the kernel of the charge contained in the formidable in- dictment. ‘ The grand jury has declared that the ,vAmerican Tobacco company has “un— lawfully, wickedly, unjustly, oppress- ively and maliciously conspired, com— bined, confederated and agreed to con- trol and monopolize the making and vending of paper cigarettes in the city and county of New York.” The Alleged Crime 8 Misdemeanor. The state code from which this is a quotation is in punishable opposition, to one of the laws which the Tobacco trust and its attorneys schemed to es- _ tablish and carry out. Theirs, was in effect: "No jobber shall buy or sell cigarettes manufactured by other than a member of this ironclad trust.” It provided a penalty of busi- ness exile f, and utter ruin, and obe— dience to this mandate meant the same 'thing to the small mercl'ant—the cut- ting off of competition and the stifling of trade in general. The action brought is not a. civil one, but trial for acts which the laws of the state of New York brand as a misde- meanor. - ' The men who appeared at the bar be- fore Judge Fitzgerald in part one of general sessions, comprising the oflicial staff of the trust, were: James B. Duke, president; William H. Butler vice presi- ident; Josiah Browne, secretary; Charles G. Emery, treasurer, ‘and Wil- liam A. Marburg, Lewis Ginter, George Arents, George W. Gall, Benjamin N. Duke and George W. Watts, directors. Brilliant Legal Array. They were represented by the most brilliant and distinguished counsel which their riches could procure. Jo- seph H. Choate was in charge of the defense. At his elbow was W.” W. Fuller, the private counsel of the trust, who devised their contracts and plans of business in skillful technical evasion of antitrust statutes. °- The prosecution of the case was com ducted by District Attorney Olcott and Assistants Hardwic‘k and Carpenter. And Mr. OlCott, ambitious over this most important case of his life, is de— termined to secure the conviction ‘of the millionaire offenders. Beforethe trial began he said to a reporter: ' “No trust has ever violated the law so flagrantly and openly as this one, I believe, and I would rather win this case as an act of justice than any other on the criminal calendar.” The first fight in the case was made several months ago in a. demurrer to the indictment, but the finest skill of the trust lawyers fell flat before the plain language of the penal code. Mr. Choate Surprised. Nevertheless it was a great surprise to Mr. Choate and his millionaire clients when Judge Fitzgerald decided that the trust officials must stand trial. The decision of the court was accompanied by a sweeping declaration of the indi- vidual responsibility of corporation offi- cers and a strong arraignment of their: organized unlawful operations. He said: “A trading corporation is entitled to all the advantages it can secure under fair and free competition, but its offi- cers and agents may become criminal- lyliable if they confederate to secure a monopoly by threats and menace di- rected against competitors to force and coerce them to relinquish the rights to the fullest enjoyment of which all are entitled. “I do not think that individuals can shield themselves from the consequences .of wrongdoing by pleading that their wrongful acts were corporate acts. To rule that the officers and agents of a corporation are relieved from individual criminal liability for all they may do under the color of corporate acts would amount in many cases to a. practical suspension of the law.” "Menaces Were Used.” Intimidations and menaces were in- deed used to enforce the orders of this trust, and it was upon such ground the indictment was made. Two cases were cited: R. C. Brown, a wholesale dealer, Who sold other goods, was warned by the .trust that he must change his methods of doing business. Lottie Hirsch received the same ad- monition, with a. threat that she would be deprived of the privilege of selling any trust cigarettes whatever. These charges are the basis of the first criminal prosecution of a. trust in New York. Proceedings against monopolies have hitherto taken merely a civil form, while the men liable did not for a. mo- ment feel any uneasiness beyond the. uncertainty. of the stock market.

' When Miss Squires met Barber, she attempted to pass him, but' he accosted her and they stood for a few moments engaged in conversation 'andthen the young woman turned away. She, ap- parently was frightened, for she in- creased her speed as she crossed the alley. Barber took a. few steps‘after her and then halting drew a revolver and fired twice at the girl.
