Ohio Supreme Court Decided Monnett
Had Not Established Standards
Connection with 1t.
COLUMBUS, Dec. 20.-The supreme
court handed down decision dismiss.
ing the bribery case of Attorney General
Monnett against the Standard Oil com.
pany. Tho attorney general furnished
information to the effect that he was
approached by Charles Squire of New
York with bribe OF S400, 200 if he would
permit the cases pending against the
Standard Oil company to go by default.
1t was claimed that Mr.. Squire was the
representative of L. B. squire, secre.
tary OF the Standard Oil company;
Frank Haskell and Frank Rockefeller.
son OF the president of the company.
The decision dismissed the case on the
ground that the information does not
connect the Standard Oil company with
the attempts ut bribery stated therein.
The court held that "the paper filed
in the clerks office should not be passed
on, for the reason that the charges are
not presented in any recognized form
requiring the action of this court, and
for the further reason that no charge is
made directly nor indirectly against the
Standard Oil company of attempting to
bribe the attorney general or any officer
Of this court in the discharge OF his
duties i'll the proceeding now ponding
in this court, charging that company
with contempt in not obeying the for
mer order and Judgment of this court.
An attempt to bribe the attorney gen.
eral in any matter not pending in this
court is not within its jurisdiction in
the first instance. Proceedings by in
dictment would be the proper course in
such case, that the party may have trial
by jury. If demanded"
