cisco for violations of interstate law,
Frank NJ. Stone, politician and lawyer,
was called witness for the prosecution.
He had been a passenger on a train stop
ped by strikers and his testimony was
wanted by the government to convict
them. Attorney Menteith. who defended
the strikers, cross-examined Stone, and
during the croSs-examination ELECTED the
fact that Stone Travelled on a pass. The
pass Is an interstate one. but Stone said
After this testimony Menteith applied for
warrant for the arrest of Huntington,
but it was refused by the acting district
attorney. Finally the federal grand jury
indicted Huntington and after government
officials had waited in vain for the rail-
road magnate to go west and be arrested.
the warrant was sent on to New York to
be served.
