Circuit Judge Cantrill delivered one of
the most sensational charges ever given
a grand jury here in opening court. His
remarks were directed against the forrna.
ton OF trusts and advising the grand
jury to strictly enforce the antitrust
statutes. Judge Cantrill said it was the
duty of the jury to investigate, and if
any representative of trust had at
tempted to do business or thwart Justice
1t was their duty to file indictments
and bring the offenders to justice. 1t is
believed that indictments will be filed
against distillers for entering the whisky
combine. Judge Cantril said in instruct
ing the jury:
"The gus, lion of trusts is a judicial
one more tn "a >, .tical one. The peo-
pie are accustomed to look to the Legis-
latures and Congress to remedy the evil,
but the common law affords ample pro-
lection if the courts would take such
action as they have the right to take.
OF course the jurist must clearly draw
the distinction between the legitimate
and trusts. The people
have the right TO ask for protection
against any attempt to crush competition,
and it is your duty to indict any corpora
ton that you deem guilty of violating
the antitrust statute or the com mon
law"
The Louisville contingent to the con-
vention was what it should have been,
and gave Frankfort the appearance of the
hot" Legislative days of the past.
Gov. Bradley refused a number of APP.
plicants for pardons. The first was ANDY
Koeing, sent up from Louisville six years
ago for twenty-one years for killing John
Rush.
