his home on Hickory street to make

WRIT OF ERROR IS GRANTED
STANDARD OIL IS PERMITTED TO
TAKE ITS APPEAL.
Judge Grosscup, However, Refuses Su
persedeas Without a Bond Other
Than for Costs.

Chicago.-Judge Peter s. Gross
cup, of the United States circuit
court of appeals, Friday afternoon
granted to the Standard Oil company
of Indiana a writ of error allowing
the defense to take its appeal from
the judgment of Judge K. M. Lands,
who imposed the record-breaking 1ne
of $29,240,OO0.
Efforts of the defending lawyers,
Moritz Rosenthal and Merritt Starr,
however, to obtain supersedeas stay
ing the execution of the judgment dur
ing the review of the case by the high
er court without furnishing more than
a bond for costs were thwarted.
Special Assistant District Attorney
James II. Wilkerson and Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys Harry A. Parkin and
Francis Hanchett appeared for the
government to contest the defendants
attorneys in their efforts to obtain a
supersedeas without any more than
one bond for costs.
1t was the contention of the govern
ment that the bond should be fixed at
$29 100000, the amount of the fine i'm
posed by Judge Landis in order to Sc
cure the government pending a stay
of execution.
. The assignment of errors contains
116 citations in which Judge Lands
Is declared to have erred during the
course of the trial of the oil company.
1t is the contention of the defense
that the court erred in overruling and
not sustaining the demurrer to the in
dictment on the ground that the Elkins
act, under which the Indictment had
been drawn, had been repealed by the
Hepburn bill
New York.-Several stocks quoted
in New York fell to new low record
levels Friday. Notable among them
was Standard OIL which at one time
during the day reached 466, the lowest
point touched in many years. A little
later the stock was offered at AIS with
no bidders.
