Standard Oil Company. fled in the Supreme
Court this evening a motion TO compel At
torney General Monnett 10 make more spe-
cihc the statement recently filed by him
alleging that he had been approached by
persons Offering brides II he would dismiss
the suits against the Standard Oil Company.
The motion asks the court 20 require the

have been connected with the attempted
bribery. not only OF Mr.. Monnett. but also
of former Attorney General D. h. Watson.
TO be given. IL further asked: That a
commissioner be appointed 10 take all legal
testimony which bears upon the truth or
falsity OF the charges contained in the at
torney generals statement TO the Supreme
Court, and that a disinterested attorney he
appointed TO conduct the examination upon
the part OF the court"
In support OF the requests contained In
the motion, the attorneys Tor the defendant
make the following statements upon infor-
nation and belief: THAT all the facts set
forth in said papers. so far as they connect
or undue influence, are false; that while
Attorney General Monnett may have had
conversations with. some person nncon-
nected With and unknown TO the defendant
nothing therein occurred which gave the
attorney general any reason TO believe that
the Ce1enQanl mao any KNOWLEDGE OF or

with false and libeious reports of attempts
at bribery on the part of the defendant, well
knowing there was no foundation for the

prepare 10 meet these charges. and by rea-
son of these facts alleged 1t is evident that
both F. S. Monnett and S. W. Bennett
