do you own any such certlh-
cates?" asked the attorney gen
eral.
An objection WINS raised by the
defendant company's counsel and
Mr.. Mclaughlin replied that he
declined to answer upon the ground
that it might criminate him, the
law providing penalty for per-
sons holding such certificates. Mr..
Monnett then asked the witness if
he held any Standard Oil Trust
certificates prior to July I, 1898,
when the law became effective,
The same objection was raised by
the attorneys for the defense, and
Mr.. Mclaughlin was advised not
to answe the question. The wit
ness again declined. stating as his
reason that he was so advised by
counsel and for the further reason
that it might tend to criminate
him.
Il have given my word that I
am not seeking TO prosecute the
agents." said Attorney General
Monnett, land I cannot appreciate
the grounds of your objection to the
witness answering the question
that refers to time prior to the
enactment of the law that you claim
might tend to criminate him."
The attorneys for the defense
still maintained that their objection
was reasonable, whereupon Mon
nett betrayed Impotence and, turn
ing to Mr.. Neff, before whom the
dispositions are being taken, said:
"Mr. Notary, you will enforce the
order"
"You will please answer the
question, Mr.. Mclaughlin" said
Mr.. Neff
"Do not answer" said Mr..
Wheeler.
Attorney Kline then referred the
attorney general to ruling of the
supreme court holding that owners
or holders of trust certificates
could not be required to testify to
such fact; but Mr.. Monnett claimed
that the ruling did not apply in this
case, and requested Mr.. Neff that
the witness be committed.
do you think you are justified
in going so far as that" asked Mr.
Elliot.
81 certainly think that the court
is entitled to the information l am
trying to secure" said the attorney
general, but as the notary would
probably desire time to examine
the law, he suggested that the mat
ter be passed until 9 o'clock this
morning for that purpose. Mr..
Neff readily accepted the attorney
generals suggestion and the exam
ination was continued.
Ibid you ever receive any divi-
dends upon Standard Oil trust GER
ti6cates?" asked the attorney gen.
eral.
Did you ever vote for dividend
that was distributed to holders of
Standard Trust Oil certificates.
These questions brought forth
more Interruptions and objections
from the counsel for the defense and
were passed without answer.
did you ever protest against
dividend going to holders of trust
certifcates?'
II have no recollection that the
question was raised"
"Did you ever in the Buckeye
Pipe Line company in the last year,
vote or have anything to do with
the reconversion of the trust GER
tifcates to the constituent compan-
ies?"
Il have no recollection of any
thing OF the kind"
Concerning the meeting of the
board of directors of the North
western Natural Gas company, Mr..
Monnett asked Mr.. Mclaughlin if
he voted in those meetings accord

ing to instructions? He replied
that such was not the case.
In the conclusion of the exarni-
ton for the afternoon Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said he did not know who
purchased the Ohio Oil company's
oil. Said he formerly purchased it
for Joseph Seep. Was not a director
of the Ohio OIL company at that
time. Never did any business with
the Standard Oil company.
At FIVE o'clock adjournment was
taken until nine o'clock this morn
ing.
MR.. LAUGHLIN ANSWERS.
At Q o'clock this morning the
examination of Mr.. Mclaughlin
was resumed, and the attorney gen
eral again took up the matter of
Mr.. Mclaughlin refusal to answer
the ques ton as to whether or not
he had held Standard Oil Trust
certificates. The question was
again asked:
did you at any time prior to
July 1st, 1898, hold any Standard
Oil Trust certificates"
| Mr.. Wheeler, for the stenograph-
er's records, said: 1--WE still believe
that under the ruling of the SD
preme court the witness should
not be compelled to answer the
question, and believe that the su-
preme court of Ohio will sustain
our objection, but to avoid further
complications here we instruct the
witness to answer.
eyes, sir" was Mr.. McLaugh
Inns reply.
How long did you hold one or
more such certificates"
Ten or eleven years"
Mr., Mclaughlin stated that divi.
dends on such trust certificates
were distributed every three
months. He received his dividends
by check from New York, signed
by Mr.. Cotton, cashier. Dividends
were issued by the liquidating
trustees. Witness still held the
same stock. Received larger divi-
dends upon trust certificates than
upon his Buckeye Pipe Line Co.
stock. Amounts were not fifty times
greater than Buckeye Pipe Line
Co. dividends. Could not say
whether they were twenty-five
times greater. Had no knowledge
of three. sevenths of the dividends
he voted for as a director, being ap-
propriated for the liquidating trus-
tees. Knew nothing of the number
of shares of stock of the Solar Re
fining Co. or any OF the other nu-
merous companies previously men,
toned. Witness did not remember
of whom he purchased his Buckeye
Pipe Line stock. Paid $Io7 for 1t.
MR.. o'DAY RECALLED.
Mr.. J. D. O'Doy was recalled and
asked whether or not prior to July
1st, 1898, and if so, how long he
held any Standard Oil Trust GER
tifcates?
81 did," said Mr.. O'Day, "for
four or five years.
where did you get them?"
From the Seaboard bank of
New York City"
You may state whether since
1892, and prior to July I, 1898, you
received dividends on stock Ger
ti6cates?"
81 did when owned them"
Ibid you receive checks for your
quarterly dividerds?"
II received notices of credit from
the Seaboard bank 10 which held
Ia personal account"
What were the amounts of the
quarterly dividends"
II remember one of three per
cent regular, and two per cent
extra"

Il have no recollection of such
proceedings.
"Do you know that each of the
companies in which you are a di-
rector declared dividends, three
sevenths of which went to the
lliquidating trustees for the pay
ment of dividends upon Standard
Oil Trust certificates"
ono sir l do not"
"Have you ever returned your
trust certificates for conversion in
to stock in the Buckeye Pipe Line
Coz"
"No sir"
Before Mr.. O'Day again left the
stand, Mr.. Elliott, of the defendant
company's counsel, asked: "Mr.
To-Day, did you ever prior to yes
terday when you were on the stand
hear anything about the B. P. L.
Co. being a member of the Stan
ard Oil trust?"
II never did. It was surprise
to me when the statement was
made here yesterday"
Mr.. Bates was recalled and asked
whether or not he ever held any
Standard Oil trust certificates. He
replied that he did not.
H. c. scHEIDE.
Mr.. Scheide was next called and
he stated that he was in charge of

from the points of production and
deliver it to storage tanks and to

oil he transported but did not know

stations within his jurisdiction, the
Lima fields.

Mr.. Page stated that he was as

the field, experimenting the laying
or taking up of pipe lines. Said he
knew from hearing that Joseph
Seep purchased the oil transported

handed to him by Mr. Bates. Some
times received a draft drawn by the

POLICEMAN ACCUSED OF
CRIME.

For a long, long time Chicago has
been regarded as the thugs paradise.
Crime seemed to thrive there like corn
in Nebraska. and there has been but
little suppression of it. Some light may
have been shed on the causes of crime
in Chicago by little incident that oc-
CURED the pther day. A Chicago dis
patch to the Kansas City Star says
that ]. NJ Platts and ]. A. Brooks
picked Frank Murray from line of
policemen at the Grand Crossing sta
ton as the man who followed them I'M
der pretense of suspecting them of
some crime, and then robbed them in
dark hall into which he had forced
them at the muzzle of his revolver
Inspector Hunt ordered Murray's star
taken away and the brass buttons
stripped from his blouse, and had him
put in a cell. Murray emphatically
protests his innocence.
That is a very serious charge, and
one would rather not believe it, but it
is well-known fact that occasionally
some very bad men get onto the police
force in different cities. In Chicago
there are some thousands of policemen,
and it would not be at all surprising
if among them there were a number
who were very bad men and who would
not hesitate to use their positions to
perpetrate highway robberies; if so
minded they would be in the very best
position possible to screen their mis-
deeds.
Some years ago in our own city
there was a night Waterman who was
a very disreputable fellow, and there is
little doubt that he held up a number
of citizens in the very section of town
where he was supposed to act as a
guardian of the peace. If such a thing
could be in a small city like this, why
couldn't it very easily be in a great
city like Chicago? That city at least
would do well to follow up what ap-
pears to be a very valuable clue.
