MT Healey willingly answered general
questions as TO whether or not there is a
trust, his answers being III the negative.
He also denounced newspaper stories as
without foundation, like other stories
they print" But when Judge slabaush
asked him what 1t costs TO make distilled
ice he refused to answer. The same re-
fusal met a question as 20 what 1t cost to

because Of the scarcity OF the product
He denied that all companies solo 1t at the
same price, and when asked to name some
OF the companies that sold below 80 cents
TO the domestic trade he said one of the
drivers told him the Ryan company sold II
for 10 cents
He was asked why one company could
sell at higher price than Others and in
reply said II was because the customers
knew his company could take care OF
them. The schedule of prices his COM
pany followed Is as follows: Domestic

Following this he refused TO answer
questions relating to the cost Of the manu-.
featured product. Mr. Healey was very
positive in his statements that there is nc
trust or agreement to keep up prices.
Mr.. Healeys name was sent to County
Attorney Slabaugh on a postal card signed

County Attorney Slabaugh is of the opin
