ter. Upon conviction the penalty is ten
years at hard labor The officers of the
company are, ii Is understood. indicted
on the charge of aiding and abetting, 81
under the common law, which has
never been seriously regarded in federal
practice. The probabilities are, it is
said, that such indictments will be
thrown out upon the first demurrer OF
counsel for the defense.
Should the prosecution of those in
dicted fall through because of lack OF
proper provision by the federal stat
utes, the government officers concerned
will take the trouble to revise the laws
They also expect that the present in
adequacy in the inspection service will
be remedied by congress.
