SURPRISES IN STORE.
Whisky Trust Cases May Develop
Sensations.

Boston, March IA story published
this evening says: More surprises are
in store for the people most interested
in the whisky trust cases before another
twenty-four hours have elapsed. 1t is
not improbable, say those who are in a
position to know, that arrests will be
made on indictments found by the fed
eral grand jury, now in session in this
city, which will create a profound seu-
sati0n. The indictments have resulted
from the prosecution of the whisky
trust officials, and the charge contained
in them is that Of tampering with mem
bers of the grand jury, and OF attempt
ing to prevent the finding of the indict
ment. The matter has been kept eX-
Allen does not deny that indictments
have been found; he merely says he
can give no information.
LOWELL, Mass, March 1.-CharleS I.
Hood sad today: The statement that
was leader in fighting this whisky trust
is not correct. Mr.. Stickney, who pur-
chased our alcohol, called my attention
some time ago to this combination, but
| was busy at the time and did not pay
much attention to it. We continued to
purchase our alcohol where we could
get it the cheapest, and finally Mr..
Stickney called my attention to the fact
that the agents OF this combination re-
fused to redeem our rebate checks. The
rebate money is held by the agents of
this combination and we do not receive
any interest On it. That money should
be enough to conduct the business, and
the parties owning the dlStillerieS in the
combination need not have dollar of
capital invested.
When the agents of the combination
refused to redeem our checks because
we purchased alcohol OF parties outside
their combination. wrote to the attor
ney general about the matter, and he
referred the communication to the
United States district attorney for in
veStigation. Notwithstanding the eff
forts of this combination, we have been
able to purchase alcohol of outside par
ties at cheaper rate. | think we have
purchased alcohol from members of the
combination who hope to break down
the competitor selling to US. | do not
wish to be placed in the position of
fighting this trust or combination. but |
want the right to purchase alcohol i'll
the cheapest market.

PEORIA, ILL.,, March President
Greenhut and Mr.. GibSon,o the whisky
trust, gave bail before the United States
commissioner here today and will be in
Boston Monday when the case comes
up. At the headquarters of the whisky
trust the heads of the concern have
little to say: President Greenhut fore
saw the present trouble over two
months ago and rendered his resigna-
ton. 1t was his intention to go to
Europe and stay there the year out, but
his resignation was not accepted.
