Man Who Hides Away.

New York, March 8.-Supreme
Court Justice William J. Gaynor OF
Brooklyn, speaking on corporate
Abuses" at the Peoples Forum, in
New Rochelle, scathingly denounced
the man who hides away rather than
goes to court to testify.
Although the Judge mentioned no
names. they were many in the audi
ence who construed the language as
referring to John ID. Rockefeller, for
whom many process servers have been
hunting yanly for weeks. He Is
wanted as a witness in the suit of the
state of Missouri to take away the
Standard Oil franchise In that state
for alleged violation of the antitrust
law.
Judge Gaynor, after speaking of the
bribery of Legislators and government
officials by the exploiters of public
franchises and of their contempt and
disrespect for both the government
and the courts. said;
What would decent man here In
this community do If he heard an OF
ficer was looking for him to subpoena
him to court to testify? Would ne
hide in his house and have his wife
and children and servants lie and say
they did not know where he was?
Would he hurry into some other state,
OF go aboard his yacht, II he had one.
and put to sea to escape service? Or
would he come forward like a decent
man and say: am her."
