Newark, N J., April s.-The Ameri-
can Tobacco company case was con-
tinued today before Vice Chancellor
Reed in the court Of chancery. The
testimony was interesting. a number Of
witnesses being examined regarding the
substance Of their contracts with the
American Tobacco company, and the ef-
feet OF these contracts on the handling
of goods of other companies. ]. j.
Kinney, who until a short time ago was
a wholesale dealer in this city, declared
the effect OF the consignment contracts
which he had signed was to debar him
from selling cigarettes manufactured
by ]. r. Miller and Sons, the complain
ant. He stated that after he had been
thus debarred, he had gone to the as
sistant secretary of the American To-
bacco company and had protested that
by reason Of declining TO sell cigarettes
of brand not made by the company he
was in danger of losing much Of his
custom. Eventually, he stated, IL was
agreed TO allow him 10 dispose Of the
stock of outside goods which he had on
hand.
]. F. Crawford said the reason he was
given up the sale of the brand of ciga-
rettes in question was that there was
little demand for them. On severe
cross examination. however, he said
such action on his part was due in a
measure to intimations on the part Of
director of the American Tobacco
company.
Josiah Brown, secretary of the COM
pany, after taking the stand, read TO
the court the consignment contract
which figures so prominently in the
case and also that it was adopted by a
vote of six yeas and four nays at a
meeting of the directors in March, 1892.
Previous to the adoption of that con-
tract the company sold the goods out
right. 1t was asked by the counsel for
the complainant that the list Of con-
signees of the company be produced
and the names of those who had been
cut off read. This was opposed on the
ground that the company should not be
compelled to reveal its business affairs.
The chancellor, however, decided that
the reasons for cutting off these con-
signeeS was the very essence OF the
case. Mr.. Brown testified that the
first consignee cut off was the American
Grocer company, whose agreement was
revoked in 1892. The reason, he said,
was probably because ii was cutting
prices. The next agreement revoked
was that with J. F. l. Armfield & Co.,
of Mount Airy. N. c., July 1898. Reas-
ons for this ne said he did not know,
but he added that agreements were re-
voked generally, for cutting prices, dis
eliminating against the Aemrican COM
panys goods and the smallness Of the
sales.
The next to go was the firm OF Ash
croft and Evans at Winston, n. c.. All
firms, the witness said, upon whom such
action had been taken, were notified
that as the rela tons between them and
the company were unsatisfactory, the
company had 10 revoke the agreement.
