GRAND JURY AND
STANDARD OIL
(From Sundays Advertiser.)

Suuudy
The grand jury will make thorough
investigation into the Standard Oil
for the purpose of determining wheth-
er Lionel Hart was alone in his
roguery, or whether he was following
the lead or example of someone else.
This is why Hart's plea was reserved
yesterday and was continued for a
week. In all probability Hart will
plead guilty, but it is considered i'm
portant as having a bearing on the
question of punishment to know
whether or not his has been the sole
crookedness in connection with the
concern. 1t was pointed out in a con-
ference with County Attorney Cath
cart and Judge Lindsay, yesterday,
that it ought to make a great deal of
difference in his sentence whether he
was particeps criminis in some or all
of his misdoings with someone else; or
whether he was alone in it and in ad
dition has sought to besmirch the good
name of, and cast suspicion on, inno-
cent persons.
IL - ololCu OOlA ShiOL VI l|C-
tectives Taylor and United States At
torney Breckons have expressed the
belief that Hart was not alone in GRIM
inality, and their judgment is consid-
cred SO good that the matter will be
taken up by the grand jury and every.
effort made to sift it to the bottom.
TO DISMISS APPEAL.
In the Supreme Court in the case of
the Oahu Railway & Land Co. vs.
James Armstrong, the plaintiff has
made a motion to dismiss the appeal

ton undecided and that there is q
judgment and decree in the case. 1
