The Tell Tale Voice

IF you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes, -
said Denver bank teller to some
friends. ''It is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence Of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But if he's
lying he'll be confused by your &C
ton, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's

ard Oil company were exclusively
with the Chicago & Alton which rem
dered all bills for the through serv-
ice.
The defense argued that the Elkins
law authorized the prosecution for
but one offense and maintained that
there could be a conviction on only
one count
The court held that the law is vio-
lated every time any property is SO
transported. as the legal rate was
established by the railroad company
on a car lot basis. The unlawful six
cent rate was granted and accepted
on that basis. AS to the defendants
claim that the representations by the
Alton road had misled it into the
sincere belief that the Alton six-cent
rate had been filed with the Inter
state Commerce commission, the
court held that as the law required
the carrier to keep the schedule at
its freight office for public. inspection,
it was the defendants duty to as
certain at the railroads offices
whether the rate was so fixed and it
being for the jury to determine
whether testimony exhibited the
truth of the transaction The jury
having found verdict of guilty it be-
came the duty of the court to fix
the punishment.

The court discusses at length the
various defenses offered by counsel,
al says the nominal defendant is
the Standard Oil company of Indiana,
a $1,000,000 corporation The Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey,
whose capital is $100,000,OO0, is the
real defendant. This is so for the
reason that if body of men organize
a large corporation under the laws
of one state for the purpose of carry

stock of other corporations, such cor

240.Q00-the maximum amount upon

The judge also recommended that
