OIL TRUST FLAYED
. BY PROSECUTOR.

FINDLAY, Ohio. October 9.-The suit
of the State of Ohio against the Stand
ard Oil Company of Ohio, in which the
company is charged with conspiracy
against trade. was begun here today
and progressed at a rapid pace.
A jury was secured in less than two
hours; County Prosecutor w. L. David
presented his case; Virgil P Kline, at
torney for the defense, made answer;
Attorney G. H Phelps of the prosecu-
tion then read documentary evidence
until the court adjourned, twenty min
utes before o'clock. He promises to
continue the reading during the greater
part OF tomorrow.
Mr.. David. in brief, stated to the jury
that the Standard Oil Company became
a trust in 1882, and, although it had
several times since changed the form
of its organization, 1t had not ceased
to commit the offenses of a trust.
Replying, Mr.. Kline characterized as
mere matters of ancient history the re-
lation of the original formation of the
trust. The Standard Oil Company, he
said, was a corporation controlled en-
tirely by its stockholders; it was in no
way trust. The statement that it was
in a combination in restraint of trade
was entirely unsupported by the facts
The documentary evidence which the
prosecution began submitting, and
which IT is stated constitutes the bulk
of their case, is contained in a docu-
ment authenticated by the Supreme
Court OF the State as the history of the
Standard Oil litigation before that
body. 1t was all objected to by the de-
fense as irrelevant, but was allowed to
go in by Judge Banker, presiding.
