THE INTERSTATE WoLAToRs.

ST. PAUL, July 8-rhe trial of Presi-
dent Egan and General Passenger Agent
Holdrdge, of the Kansas City road, for
violation of the interstate commerce law
was begun before Judge Thayer in the
United States court today. Martin and
Herman the first two witnesses, testified
as to the cut rates. Auditor Healy, of
the Kansas City road, was then called. He
said that he had received $35, 600 for 5000
tickets sold by the road TO Mr.. Petsch.
Charles II. Petsch testified that he had
a transaction with Egan and Holdridge, in
which he bought 5000 tickets, paying $685.
600 At the time there was a rate war,
and the rate was 81. "Iiasked Mr.. Hol
bridge if | could buy the tickets and make
them unlimited, and he said no; that he
would sell me all the tickets l wanted at
81 l bought the tickets stamped and un-
punched They were to be first-class in
all respects, with no limitations, and they
were Nothing else was said about it at
the time"
The government having rested its case,
the defense moved to dismiss the case,
there being no proof of charges, but the
motion was overruled. The defense called
Mr.. Donald, of the Central Traffic associa-
tiOn; j. J. Byrne, of the Atchison, and W.
r. Busenbark, formerly general passenger
and ticket agent of the Kansas City road,
all of whom were questioned on the same
subiect-the distinction between limited
and unlimited tickets.
At o'clock the jury was dismissed un-
til tomorrow, after discussion in which
Judge Thayer said the case resolved itself
into whether or not the tickets sold were
unlimited. The case may possibly not 90
to the jury at all, and is quite certain to
be finished tomorrow. The chances look
promising for the defendants.
