Findlay, o., Oct. 10.-Upon OPEN
morning the jury was excused while
the attorneys argued upon the ad-
instability of answers to questions
put to John d. Rockefeller in the con-
tempt proceedings. The prosecution
held that Rockefeller's statement is
pertinent to the present issue to show
his connection with the Standard Oil.
Said Not to BE Trust.
Prior to the jury being excused ar
guments of counsel on both sides was
made last night. and considerable
documentary evidence read. In brief
Prosecutor David in his address to the
jury asserted that the Standard Oil
company became trust in the year
1882 and that although it had several
times changed its form of organiza-
ton, 1t had not ceased to commit an
offense as a trust.
In reply, Virgil p. Kline, member
of the counsel for defendant company
characterized as mere matters of an
cient history the relation of the orig
inal formation of a trust. He declared
that the Standard Oil company was
not a trust. He said even il true,
which they were not, that the state
ments made by David relative to the
early history of the organization of
the trust, were not within the limits
of Hancock county and consequently
not in the Jurisdiction of the court
The documentary evidence submit
ted by the supreme court of the state
as history of standard Oil litigation
before that body. 1t was objected
TO by the defense but was allowed to
so in by the court.

This man was put with ME Thurs
day at the HoIbrook shaft on the 500

nationally AT first. telling me that his
name was Halt and that he had just
been hired the day before as a miner.
/ He told ME he had worked before In

II did not notice his actions par
ticularly until We had been working
together about an hour. We were

drive nails with a saw and finally
swung the AK about his head several
times, finally letting II go In my di-
